polo_check Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm still pushing for Frontier/Horizon. Both would still satisfy the Big10 desire to recognize the history of the conference (Frontier) but still look to the future (Horizon). Sorry but there is already a Frontier League (Minor League Baseball, I believe) and Horizon League is a Division I basketball conference. I would just like them to go with their second option. I want to see how bad that was. Quote Link to comment

C N Red Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Pimps and Hoes, We're in the pimps division of course Seriously though, I think someone brought up Stars and Stripes before, I would like something like that. Something to honor our service men/women would be awesome. Honor/Sacrifice Glory/Honor Courage/Sacrifice I like the best I think. And you don't have to try and explain it and make it sound good to anyone. Just have to say we want to honor the service men/women who courageously put their lives on the line and sacrifice everything for our freedom. Don't think you'll hear any laughing from ESPN on that!!!!! Quote Link to comment
redrhino Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Block and Tackle Would be good division names Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 They need to go with the regions, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic. Regions don't make sense because the teams are jumbled! Quote Link to comment

"The Big 10 'Sacrifice' is weak this year, but the 'Courage' division has 4 top 25 teams." I don't know how I could listen to something like that with a straight face. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's not about how well the teams do, it's about naming the divisions in honor of our servicemen/women. It has nothing to do with how good the teams do, you are showing respect to our military. The names would have nothing to do with the teams, where they are located, what they do or grow in their region, it would be purely on respect being showed to those who are giving the most for our country and freedom. Sounds like the best reason I've heard thus far. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I am all for a name change...and I think some of the aforementioned division names sound pretty good. I am glad that Delaney is actually listening to the fan bases. That's something that I don't think would happen in the Big XII unless Texas disapproved of the proposition as well Quote Link to comment

I want to see how bad that was. I'm confident Legends is used somewhere as well, doesn't mean the Big10 can't use it. Besides, it would be Big10 Frontier, and Big10 Horizon. How many east/west, north/souths are there? If we have to vet every option by searching through the little league media guides in Rhode Island we're going to end up with some crappy division name like "leaders". In this case, the Big10 swings the biggest dick...sorry Minor League Baseball. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes. For all the talk of it not being geographical, throw up a map of the states (as miami did in a previous thread) and it's pretty strikingly not randomly distributed across the map. Ah, here's a map, from HI. Non geographic split? C'mon, Big Ten guys...did you even look at the map first?! Nope. Not geographical at all. No logical North/South OR East/West split there.

husker_99 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 At least the Big 10 is trying to balance instead of the Big 12 pretty much the de facto Big 12 Champ winner. Quote Link to comment

I would say they just do that and say they may move the Wisc to the North to satisfy everyone. Or say Wisc and NU may be switched and change places and that would be true North and South Divisions.

Sounds like the best reason I've heard thus far. Okay, you totally missed my point. I understand that the names are in honor of servicemen; they will still be referred to as "up" or "down" or "good" or "bad" divisions depending on how the teams do just like people say "The SEC West is dominating this year". I understand that you think they would show respect to the military; everyone I know would laugh at the names (including former service members that I know). I understand that the names are in honor of those who serve; I think these names aren't a good idea. I understand that they would be named in respect of the military; sounds like not my favorite idea so far. Quote Link to comment
