Big Ten Rivalries

Here's what Rittenberg and Bennett think of the B10 rivalries. I like where their heads are at for Iowa anyway. Can't believe we haven't played Illinois since 2008 though. Stupid.

Illinois hates Iowa far more than Iowa hates them. MN and Iowa is no longer a big deal. Actually under KF are any games a big deal? Hugs and kisses to ISU?

Iowa-MN will always be a big deal to the fans. So will Iowa-Wisky, but I agree with you about Illinois.

I think the Illinois game should be moved to the "keep if possible" or "expendable". We haven't played them since '08, and won't see em until 2014 (at the earliest). With the new scheduling, there won't be a gap that long again. Play them when they come up on the schedule, but no need any sooner.
Wiscy, Nebby, and Minny are the important ones, IMO.
