Excel Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 When you hear of a particular school what do you immediately think?...terms, pictures or a few words... Mine: Illinois - FIB's, Underachievers Indiana - Basketball, Hoosiers the Movie Iowa - Wannabe Steelers, Overachievers, Tattoos Michigan - Big Ten's Alabama, Desmond Howard Michigan State - "Dammit!", Burning Couches, Little Brothers Minnesota - Pretentious, Stuck in the Past, Mud Ducks Nebraska - Corn, Ahman Green, Uncle Rico, Sore losers Northwestern - Nerds, Lucky Ohio State - Cheaters, The evil teams of super kids from the "Mean Green" and the "Mighty Ducks", Casey Anthony Penn State - Sandusky, Linebackers, Outsiders Purdue - Engineers, Upsets, Quarterbacks Wisconsin - Beer ....more Beer. This is just for fun, no need to start an argument here if someone rips on your team. Quote Link to comment

WoodyHayes1951 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Illinois - Awesome fans, great friendly rivalry in both foots and bball, they hate skunkweasels almost as much as we do Indiana - pompous, pretentious, elitist, think they are God's gift to round-ball even when they suck. Iowa - We're their daddy. They know it, we know it. I like them as a school but a fight is usually what they give us and that's about it. ann arbor - little sister, taking over their stadium in 2009. MSU- Great respect for Izzo, Their football fans that I have encountered have such a inferiority complex Minnesota - Zero threat on the football field. If we lose to them then our coach deserves to be fired(and last time he was) Nebraska - great tradition, Tommy Frazier Northwestern - Smart kids that like Iowa give us nothing except for once in a blue moon. They will pay for 2004 Ohio State - TBDBITL, Script Ohio, The Shoe, Archie, Woody,The Oval, My Alma Mater Penn State - They like to throw piss balloons, inferiority complex and BTN conspiracy theorists. Purdue - A pest that shouldn't compete but does(and triumphs sometimes ) Wisconsin - Polish sausage, Red, far left undergraduates 1 Quote Link to comment

WoodyHayes1951 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nebraska - great tradition, Tommy Frazier Suck up. lol. I don't know enough to critique. I will update after the game in October. Although since it is a night game there might be a "culture shock" factor for visiting Husker fans. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Illinois: Champaign , ironically, is the hometown of the campus. Ironic because Champaign is seldom used in the lockerroom after big games. Indiana: Basketball. Beautiful campus. Former chair-flinging-capitol of the world. Iowa: Bumblebee colors for bumbling football team. Vastly overrated coach. Michigan: Stole an undeserved share of the 1997 championship. Big stadium. Big egos. Michigan State: Little Brother. No respect. Good coach. Minnesota: Football dynasty 65 years ago. Nothing since. Mall of America. NEBRASKA: Football dynasty 15 years ago. Another coming soon. Northwestern: Nerds. (Some of whom will probably employ us in the future.) Ohio State: Texas redux. Rules are made to be broken. Wealth of recruiting talent. Penn State: Happy Valley. Unhappy scandal over child molestation and cover-up. Purdue: Nerdy engineers. They’re still in the B1G 10, right? Wisconsin: Cheese. Cheese-heads. Cheese-byproducts. Cottage-cheese-thighed women. Cheesy mascot. 2 Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Illinois - Basketball, football underachieving Indiana - Basketball, throwing chairs, cool warmup pants Iowa - Jealous little brother Michigan - Big Stadium, arrogance, Charles Woodson Michigan State - Basketball, Magic Johnson Minnesota - Gophers, ghetto campus, top chemical engineering program Nebraska - Will we rise again or be the next Minnesota? Northwestern - Nerds Ohio State - The Shoe, consistency Penn State - Joe Pa, Sandusky, cheating refs, dick fans Purdue - Engineering geeks Wisconsin - Their coach looks like a big penis, mostly ugly women with some hotties mixed in, the only northern school where the band members are apparently cool.

Why, it's Jesse Owens! He won so many gold medals that Hitler left the stadium in Berlin because he didn't want to recognize that this great athlete from Ohio State was superior. And who is the greatest college football player? Why, it's Arch. Nobody else in the history of football has ever won two Heisman trophies. And who is the greatest golfer of all time? Why, it's Jack Nicklaus. Nobody can touch him. He's the best. And who is the greatest in basketball? Why, it's John Havlicek. He's Mr. Basketball." - Woody Hayes Penn State - Sawney Bean clan Purdue - Big drums & flaming drinks Wisconsin - Battery chucking drunks Quote Link to comment
