Like most of you, I woke up today refreshed and excited to football. A week removed from last weeks near heart attack inducing, 12-round boxing match against Iowa State, I (stupidly) had all of the confidence in the world going into “Cupcake Week” in the Big Ten.
That was my first problem. As it would turn out, Cupcake Week transformed into Cupcake Wars for Jim Delaney’s boys.
And I openly mocked it.
But it wasn’t just me. Like most of you, I laughed, and poked, and Tweeted, and ripped Nebraska for leaking fluids down their pant legs against Northern Illinois.
