Coach Flood's first Big Ten Media Day press conference has come and gone, and most reviews are complimentary of the third-year head coach of the Scarlet Knights. There were questions about recruiting, tougher scheduling, and player personnel that could have flustered him, but he handled them with great poise. Keep checking OtB for a full transcript of the presser from earlier today. In the meantime, here are some notable tweets from the circus:

Speaking of media guides, it's worth checking out this definitive ranking from Eleven Warriors. Rutgers gets good reviews, and even mentions Game of Thrones characters.
Bo Pelini cat update:
Pelini also said that his cat is "enjoying a nap up in the (hotel) room" and that "he's enjoying the Windy City."
