Of course. Winning and not covering is uselessness of the highest order.

Was hoping Ohio St would have lost

BIG 10 football is so disgusting to watch as is, even worse when you want a team to cover and they don't.

I couldn't agree more, if they can't cover the spread, I hope they lose outright. To me, then I can at least justify that I read the game entirely wrong & take some solace in it.

Depends on the team. Like today after Michigan didn't cover was hoping Indiana beat them. Didn't want Ohio St to lose even though they didn't cover.

I always think the players feel worse about the loss than I do. Makes me feel a little better.
