The Drop, Week 6: Who Would You Rather Be?

If you had to pick between being one of these two teams, which one would you pick? Team A is a traditional power fallen on hard times. It...

HAHAHAHAHA no really, what's the Minnesota-Purdue score?

I said Matt Rhule's next acting role would be Deer In Headlights. I was right, but not quite in the way I suspected.

I don't know how to feel. Our town's fall festival is today and there's a DJ up on the square blasting oldies. I can hear everything. It's a bit intrusive but my man has a DEEP playlist.

Preach it, Beth Goetz is doing a great job.

Leadership matters. Beth Goetz was such a great hire. The AD is really primed for a great run. Jan, Ben, KF and even with the the non-revenue sports. Look at where we’re at today versus with Barta leading us. Lawsuits, dysfunction. We are lucky having her leading the AD.

I'm really hoping NU-Iowa on November 7 becomes a 7-1 vs 7-1 battle (gonna be harder for NU with at Oregon the week before)

If, back in August, you thought Iowa would be 5-1 on the morning of October 10, raise your hand.

Keep it original, there can't be more than 2 or 3 of these left!

A Different Poncho: 1969 Pontiac Tempest Custom S: This 1969 Pontiac Tempest Custom S has a 350 V8 and plenty of original character. Would you keep this overlooked Pontiac as a survivor or restore it?

Is the balance of power in the Big Ten shifting back to the old West division? Maaaaybe. Is there an objectively hilarious game elsewhere in the conference this week? AbsoLUTEly! broomcornsweep.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

This is, in fact, correct. I do own a trampoline and maintain it regularly. I buy decaf on Amazon because I can't get good decaf locally. (I do drink regular coffee too.)

Maybe this is my favorite color, the color of soybeans in October when the tractor is barreling down the row toward them

There won't be a Drop this week but next Monday's Drop will be an examination of the entire conference at the halfway point of the season.

When I did my preseason calculations I had Iowa at 3-3 after week 6. It will be no worse than 4-2 and 5-1 is within reach. So no, I'm not sad that Iowa lost a game that I figured it was going to lose. You saw the talent gap.

Sweet dreams, Schuyler.

The picks I didn't have enough spoons to put into a column: Michigan 24, Minnesota 20 Wisconsin 30, Michigan State 27 Ohio State 17, Iowa 13 Nebraska 34, Maryland 12 Illinois 42, Purdue 33

Due to an unexpected but urgent and important demand on my time and attention, I will not be writing The Sweep this week.

Nothing makes me happier than when Iowa football makes everyone else SO MAD

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

I always watch USC football just long enough for the band to play both of the songs they know.

"It's Week 4. I have no idea if Iowa is correctly ranked. I am quite sure that Michigan will be the biggest test the Hawks have faced this far -- and that Iowa will be the biggest test Michigan has faced, because Oklahoma has not looked good at all." -- me, this week

Here's the thing about Kirk Ferentz: After every game he coaches, *somebody* is absolutely LIVID

Hot take: if you saw how Indiana struggled last night with an admittedly good Northwestern team, you might understand why I think Kirk Ferentz prefers that his team's success should not primarily rest on the QB's shoulders.

I was honest about the fact that "Gypsy" is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It didn't end well.

Dear Bluesky Elders, Tell us stories of the days when Bluesky was fun.

As the Big Ten jumps into the conference play pool with both feet, we ask ourselves what's going to happen to our teams, some of which are tested, some of which aren't, and some of which have already failed. broomcornsweep.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-...

The Sweep, Week 4: *bleep* Gets Real
