If they allowed 8 letters, I would likely get new plates.

How will being in the west division force them to travel to the western schools any more than they currently are? There would only be five division games, 2 or 3 would be in Happy Valley, and the rest of the conference games would be against east teams.

I think predicting a W against NW is about the same as predicting an L against PSU. When you look at the last few years, it could be argued that neither make much sense (I know Stanzi got hurt last year).

My bad, I didn't see that.

Below is a piece from an article by Teddy Greenstein. But on the day the league added Nebraska, he did spell out his priorities for dividing the Big Ten into divisions. Traditional emphasis of geography is third. Maintaining rivalries is second. And first, he said, is "competitive fairness."...

No school ever gets to that point, IMO. One bad hire can destroy a school's reputation (at least short-term). Just ask Michigan and Nebraska.

They haven't won in Kinnick since that game!

Why not? They already make trips to west schools every year already. I posted this in a thread a while back: PSU is already making trips to the western schools in the Big Ten as it is, so how would the trips to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota be any more inconvenient? At most, there would be...

Are you still selling them?

You could sell them for the ISU game, it's on 9/11. Nebraska is doing something similar. http://huskers.teamfanshop.com/COLLEGE_Nebraska_Cornhuskers/adidas_Nebraska_Cornhuskers_Navy_Blue_Patriotic_Sideline_T-shirt

If Doyle had a better conditioning program he would have chased Grigsby down 5 times. :)

Yeah, he almost cost us the game at PSU. He basically took the 4th quarter off. He looked exhausted. ;)

It's net revenue. We spend a lot more money than Illinois and Minnesota, especially when you consider the Kinnick renovations, KF's salary, etc.

1992 - Wisconsin I was 6, so I don't remember any of it, unfortunately, but my dad always reminds me of how crazy I went. Dean's TD spoils Badgers' bid | GazetteOnline.com

I like the idea of having flexibility within the divisions, but I think doing it every year or two is too much. If the Big Ten commits to mixing up divisions every year or two, it could ruin the competitive balance. For example, one of the scenarios you presented (below) would have heavily...

Off the top of my head, I think the other two losses are tOSU and PSU, both in 2008.

What does that have to do with the letter? For the record, if Iowa had the history of Nebraska, we would be just as arrogant (some say we already are).

I honestly think that the people that think this letter comes off as arrogant are just looking for another reason to hate Nebraska. It was a nice gesture.

I really like the west division with PSU, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, but the eastern division is very weak with only Ohio State and Michigan, with very little possibility of any other team winning the division. Prospective divisions for expanded Big Ten, Pac-10 come 2011 - Stewart Mandel -...

Very well played.
