Who says Jim Delany doesn’t listen to the fans?
It’s his New Coke.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Delaney is neither a “Leader” or a “Legend”. My suggestion for the division names are “Slow & Plodding”.

The thing I learned from that article is that Paterno pooped his pants in 2006 against tOSU. Don’t worry, Joe. I’ve been there too.

I guess a willingness to listen and adapt to criticism is a virtue. Better still is the wisdom to not end up in the middle of such a failure in the first place.

Seriously. If you read the linked article, you saw him say how surprised he was. How big of a tool do you have to be to fail to realize the reaction to those names might be negative?

How about “Oh” and “Nine” in honor of perennial conference winner, tOSU

Pretty good, but the numbered division would end up having to change their name every year.

In honor of Delaney, start both divisions with a “D”….Dumb & Dumber. Or Douchbags & Dipsh*ts.

So, nothing about the stupidity of not splitting the divisions geographically? Call them whatever you want. Nobody will remember who’s in which division anyway. Ask the ACC.

Call them Hayes and Schmebechler. At least we’d know which has OSU and which has Michigan.

He’s waiting for somebody to suggest naming the divisions “Jim” and “Delany”.
Hey, that’s what Michael Adams would do. 😉

“The Big Ten is open to change…”
Really?

Y’all are being way too harsh on the Big Ten (sic) and its great traditions and contributions to college football.
In fact I happen to know the originally proposed names of the 2 divisions. I shall divulge them to you shortly, but know that they were abandoned when conference officials realized that both division names referred to teams that were in the same division. What were they, you ask? 1) Sweatervests, and 2) Poopypants.

I’m surprised he is swayed by public opinion. Very few like the stranglehold he and his old crumudgeons have had on college football’s postseason and that doesn’t bother him! (sorry, couldn’t resist)
