Especially the 11:00 games. Is there a scientific reason for this? I havent watched a whole big 10 game since 2006 Michigan vs Ohio state.

Maybe its because every game is cloudy/rainy/snowy/depressing but for some reason I cant ever get in to these games

Since it's still football with tons of fans and weather is just weather...it probably has more to do with you than the Big 10 game you are watching.

Mainly due to the early games and boring locations they are in.

I was just trying to come up with a reason, I don't really think its the weather. But I think a lot of this board will agree, Big 10 games are boring as shite

Slow, 2 yards and a cloud of dust style offenses. Equally slow and boring on the other side of the ball. I'm not saying I need an Oregon to keep me entertained, but I'm pretty sure football has passed the B1G by.

What decade have you been watching this Drew Brees/Chad Henne/Troy Smith/Denard Robinson B1G in?

Must have missed the Illinois/Northwestern game today then? No excitement or offense in that game or anything?

I'll admit I rarely watch more than 5 minutes of any B1G game, but they're sure seem slow as shite.

I would wager that no one in the South watched this game today.

What you are saying:
I do not know shite about the Big 10, but I am sure I am an expert about it.

Ted Ginn brah. The Big 10 is slow at the DT positions though.

I always forget Illinois even exists, even though they have had some alright teams.

Shitty boring matchup. With the SEC you get great games every week like Florida/Bama, Arkansas/Bama, Florida/Tennessee, LSU/Bama, Bama/Auburn.

With the big ten it seems like there are hardly ever any big games. With the exeption of tonights Wisconsin/Nebraska

The real answer is in your question.

I am sure a lot of people don't like food they've never tried or rarely eat.

You said yourself that you do not watch Big 10 football. How in the hell can you judge it?
