[NU Sports] Who cares about bias?

Yes, Laurinaitis the Road Bore-yer was a joke. All of pro wrestling is a joke. Yes, it is dangerous. So is Jackass. Yet it draws huge audiences even though the industry admits they script everything. ESPN doesn't have to lend it credibility.
No one mentioned the game. Perhaps that is because there was no game. There was Thermopylae with wimpy Spartans; Pickett in need of a charge. We were unqualified to be on the same field as Ohio State. Speed and quickness they have; we don't. Size and strength they have; we don't. Athleticism they have; we don't. Depth they have; we don't. It doesn't matter who is making the in-game coaching decisions. As I posted earlier this week, recruiting charts show it's not going to change in the near future. Tyrell Sutton's absence was no factor even if he had been upbeat along the sidelines. (You were hang-dogging it, Tyrell.) This was a disgraceful but likely inevitable performance that points out the inadequate talent on the NU football team (as if Duke, losers yesterday to Navy and allowing 46 points, hadn't done that already). I fully expect the same treatment next week. Hart will run for 200+ yards in less than three quarters, and whoever plays quarterback will humiliate our defense. We will be lucky to score one offensive touchdown against Michigan's first-string defense. Again, I would dearly love to be wrong, but I don't think I will be.
RECRUITING!!!! RECRUITING!!!! RECRUITING!!!! But do we even have a chance at the best players with our ancient, rarely filled stadium, losing tradition, and academic requirements?
On an unrelated note, how 'bout them Wofford Terriers! More reason to doubt the quality of Big 10 football.
