B1G Expansion thoughts after T-Day with family

[ForkEmBucky]

It was a really interesting conversation with some of my extended family members today. From the old timers to the old school down to college kids today. Here are some majority thoughts....

1. It's probably the right way to go, because it's better to be in control of it than to be the ones looking around later.

2. We're all concerned about losing what made B1G football so popular here, which was the close regional ties, playing the same teams for decades and building the history..... etc.

3. We would like more conference games so we can get Iowa back annually, and not go so long between meetings with Nebraska, Michigan, Michigan State, and Northwestern.

4. It'd be nice if expansion would stop now.

Oh also.... 7 of the 14 teams now have some shade of red as the primary school color. Minor issue, but still kind of annoying.

Delaney waits to see how much UMD pay's to leave the ACC then poaches ethier Syracuse or VPI and prays FSU/Clemson/Ga Tech roll to the SEC/B12 so then ND comes crying to the B1G. Just waiting on you Maryland.

Why doesn't Wisky change its color to Pink? Judging from the Wisconsin men I have met, it suits the school to a T.

meow!!!

#2 is out the window. And that isn't just for B1G. This shit needs to stop for awhile.

Delaney STARTED all this when he tried to poach Texas from the Big 12. He's been the mastermind behind all the movement from the get go.

There were other people talking.... And the Texas thing wasn't even first on Delaney's list.
