It was supposed to be a statement weekend for the Big Ten. It was a statement alright…a poor statement.
The Big Ten’s big three teams all lost. Virginia Tech beat Ohio State. Notre Dame beat Michigan, and Oregon beat Michigan State.
Twitter reacted accordingly, and Big Ten fans are already looking forward to basketball season:
Big 10 fans you wonder why fans from other conferences look down at the conference? It’s weekends like this. No spin or agenda just results.

So the Big Ten is usually a bad conference, but this year it may not be a division 1 conference. — Matt Hafer (@matthafertweets) September 7, 2014

Dare I say…the Big Ten is doo doo butter. And I’m not sure why. — spencetagradio (@spencetagradio) September 7, 2014
The big ten is so far behind every other conference in athletic ability it’s not even funny. — Nick DeNunzio (@thenickdenunzio) September 7, 2014
Every year we act super shocked the Big Ten isn’t as good as the SEC and equate that to just being the worst.

Not even that confident in Wisconsin basketball. You can just trust Big Ten football to collapse at this point.

The Big ten should disband now

They should rename the Big Ten the Big Suck. #collegefootball

I love these #B1G fans who can't defend the dumpster fire their conference is so they make up this fiction that the SEC doesn't play anyone

Worked for the internet in Los Angeles before being lured back to Florida by SEC football and the promise of a bourbon bar. When he's not internetting or watching football, he's probably out giving himself 4-footers on the golf course.
