Dropping Legends and Leaders names?

Didn't see this anywhere else, but the Big Ten is looking at this.

So if it's not this, what would you call the new divisions with Rutgers and Maryland joining in 2014???

This looks good to me. I love the catchy division names.

 

[DuffMan]

I hope so. I honestly don't even know what division Iowa is in.

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

I hope so. I honestly don't even know what division Iowa is in.

Derp.


Its easy to keep track of. Legends or leaders....are we leaders? Nope. Legends it is.

I started on the other side of the coin. Are we Legends? Nope. Now what?

Nile Kinnick is considered to be a Legend.

That is how I always remember what division Iowa is in.

one can only wish!

 

[DwayneTwill]

There's no way they keep those names.

It's easy. Iowa is with Nebraska and Northwestern in the LegeNds Division.

Must not be a very good fan.

Ohio State has pretty much been the leader forever. We're not in Ohio State's division.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

Big Ten West: Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue
Big Ten East: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers

+1. Nothing wrong with "East" and "West" division names. Keep it simple.

Oh, and let's change the stupid "B1G" logo back to "Big Ten" while we're at it.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

Must not be a very good fan.

No, it's just a stupid naming scheme.

 

[MoseSchrute]

^Yeah, it is a stupid naming scheme, but it's pretty easy to know which one Iowa is in.

 

[MeatMan]

how about "old" and "older" as division names?

 

[FalseMirage]

Ohio State has pretty much been the leader forever. We're not in Ohio State's division.

You could say that fOSU is a legendary leader.

 

[HawkfaninWA]

Heartland and Lakes sounds too "country" to me. East and West isn't bad.

How about American and National Divisions?

 

[CAARHawk]

Too Country? You know we are talking about Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, right?

How about this?
Alberta Clipper
Lake Effect
Ohio Valley Blizzard
NorEaster

But don't take me seriously. I think clever names will always fail.

West, North, Central, East, done
