I know, crazy talk, right? But I don't think he's paying attention to us. As evidence, let's take a look at this quote from today on ESPN.com's Big Ten "blog":"I haven't heard anybody say, 'You've got to be crazy if you're not [starting Siller]!'" Tiller said. "Mind you, it's only Tuesday."
Ahem. Joe, you've got to be crazy if you're not starting Siller. Does that change anything?
Also from that same post:
Backup quarterback Justin Siller won Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors for his impressive performance against Michigan, but Painter's experience could be beneficial against No. 18 Michigan State.
Really? Beneficial how? You mean all his experience beating ranked teams? Because I think Siller guiding the Boilers to 48 points was beneficial and that sort of firepower might also be beneficial against Sparty.

Experienced taking snaps and throwing passes. Don't under estimate that! Let's go fishing!
And of course, you mean "passes" in the most broad definition....
You like to make passes at guys, not to guys...maybe you should start.
What are the odds Tiller's privy to information about the extent of Painter's injury?
Deceptive, anyone?
Could Cowboy Joe be running one last rhetorical hook and ladder?
Ross - no.
Just more reason Joe needs to go fishing now and not a month from now.
NOW how crazy does my "Mrs Tiller in a Pit" theory sound?
This just in!
Gold & Black.com:
"Painter limited; Siller Readies"
They go on to say that Painter is "gingerly" throwing passes on the sidelines, and that Siller is taking all the snaps with the first team.
This is a HUGE game for a redshirt freshman QB in his second start, but Siller at least makes this match up interesting.
So in other words, Painter is throwing just like he normally has this year.

Siller = I slingbox the game on Saturday
Painter = Rake leaves.
