Just saw that usmc posted the same link just before I did. Sorry for the duplicate, y'all!
You are good bro. I checked real fast to make sure that no one had already linked it. We probably did it simultaneously.
Let'em play! I agree with the entire article. If Nebraska is the Legends(?) winner and we win the Leaders let us play each other in Indy and let The Cornshuckers play in Pasadena. I can't imagine how hyped up our guys would be to play a "bonus" game and have the possibility to go 13-0 and "really" win the B1G. I, for one, would make the trip to Indy for the game and might just take my wife and kids!
Come on people ! Am I the only one here who wants to see Indiana play for the B1G Ten championship?
EDIT-hahahahahahahahaha

Nope, I think Ramzy beat you to the punch here. If only I could find and link the story...

I'm hoping for a 7-6 Big Ten team in the Rose Bowl. After all the crap that the fans of opposing Big Ten teams gave us in the previous years about losing those 3 bowl games, this year was their one chance to prove that someone else could make the conference look good, and instead every single team has continued the tradition of mediocrity. Nothing would prove that better than sending a 7-6 team to a 30-point loss in the Rose Bowl.
Makes sense, the ban was a Big Ten imposed ban that looks like it is going to bite them in the butt.
I kind of like the idea of Ohio State ending their season vs AACC in the Shoe. That atmosphere is going to be insane. De-facto bowl game, Urbans first GAME, senior day, undefeated year on the line, and honoring that 2002 game. That would be an awesome way for the seniors to leave this program I think.
While I don't think this would happen because of the way it would look, it sure would help put butts in seats in Indianapolis. Who's going to show up to watch a mediocre (or worse) squad from our division go get massacred by the best team in the other division. Certainly not nearly as many as would show up to see Ohio State play in their first Big Ten Championship game.
This should definitly not happen, the B1G would lose so much credibility if they reversed themselves at this point. Put the shoe on the other foot and you know all of us on here would be screaming absolute bloody MURDER if the B1G even considered doing this and we were the .500ish team that could get snubbed.
Let's not act like every other spoiled fan base (ahem...New York, Boston) and make a huge push for this. It makes us look arrogant and makes us look like we feel entitled. We earned our ban fair and square. We should serve our ban quietly and If we go 12-0 and beat scum, I'll be one happy camper. Don't get greedy.
