Hlas: Please, people, stop using "B1G".



Why does everyone keep talking about Wang?

B1G is flat stupid (and I don't mean stoopid)

Since PSU joined I always wrote it "Big Ten" or "BigTen"

Now they want to emphasize the numerical 10 ... fine, I've been writing it "Big 10" or "Big10"

B1G comes off as stupid because it doesn't connect with people. B1G doesn't trigger an immediate association with the Big 10 if you put yourself in the place of the causal college sports fan outside the conference. It doesn't do it for me either. As a federal employee it seems more like a government acronym. This approach to marketing doesn't promote identification with your product.
 


Stereotypes? The things I listed are facts, not stereotypes. The South does have the highest illiteracy, highest obesity, highest smoking rates, and lowest life expectancy in the country. But, hey, their relatively low rated universities have put together the top football team in the country for five straight years, so who cares about the other stuff.

HEY I ARE SUM OF THEM THANGS!
