They forgot about the Schlichter-Clarett Citizenship Award and the Mandarich-Boston Enhanced Performace Awards.

Now that is just plain hysterical!!!!

Lord, Nebraska isn’t even in the Big Ten yet, and we’re feeling nervous about how we explain all this!

Legends and Leaders divisions?…..OMG. It sounds like something a Junior Achievement group would come up with. The Huskers joined the Big Ten in part because of the superior wisdom and advanced thinking of the elite schools involved. So we get Legends and Leaders Divisions? What does that even mean? Bo was a Legend and Woody was a Leader? How about Okie and Dokie instead?

Glad I am a fan of the SEC.

Call the Championship Trophy the Paterno Trophy – he sure has earned it on and off the field.

Take the old logo and get rid of the “11″ It was just fine.

Delany is out of control.

That’s okay LOL I’d like to think we were poised for a Super Bowl run. But we’ll have to, a-hem, force our way past the Patriots, and they seem to have our number. Drat that Captain America!

Ted Kwalick didn’t play in the Big Ten. He may not even have played a game vs. a Big Ten team(not going to bother to research it). There wasn’t a Big Ten alumnus they could have chosen?

The awards are named for these guys for what they did in the Big 10, and should not be based on pro careers. Having said that I agree that there should have been a more logical choice. If the TE was to come from PSU I would say Kyle Brady. He played a major role on that PSU team that was robbed of a chance at a NC, and was a top 10 draft choice as a result of his play.

sorry bout that..thought you didn’t know who Tatum was..all is forgiven…Steelers look good this year..Big Ben seems poised to “force” his way into the super bowl;)

*****************************

Chicago isn’t in the Big 10 any more so what’s the fuss? That being said, Charlie Sanders of Minnesota would have been a better choice. More catches, All-Pro and Pro Bowls AND a member of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, something that Ted never achieved.

Forget polls of biased fans who probably don’t know a football from a brown hard-boiled egg.

Among other things, former All Pro Rod Woodson, who made the Pro Bowl at three different positions, is a first ballot Hall of Famer and was one of only five then-active NFL players to make the league’s 75th anniversary team of the best players ever at their position (corner) in league history. Now if you want to talk Ronnie Lott, fine. He was another of the five active players to make the 75th anniversary team. But although they are all great, no one else on that list but “Night Train” Lane should even be mentioned in the same sentence. Deion Sanders was a great cover corner, but he couldn’t hit anyone if you put a gun to his head. Woodson was a phenomenal all-around corner.

The best testimony to Woodson’s greatness is that you can go to a post about him on PFT and find Steelers, Bengals (where he coached this off-season), and Ravens fans all agreeing on what a great player he was and what a terrific human being he is. You generally can’t get fans of those three teams to agree the sky is blue.

Pac-10
California Division
Everybloodybody Else Division

Big 12
Everything’s Bigger (including our cut of the money) Division
Leftovers Division

What a joke. Go Legends Division?

That’s the PROBLEM!!!

The ASSASSIN is sharing an award with ROD WOODSON!!!!

At least the Raiders fan understands

It’s a Raiders/Steelers thing.

Yes, I know Rod played for the Raiders. We overlook that. Because it’s Rod. We even overlook that he played for the Ravens. Because it’s Rod.

Charles who?

Only Rod, the Snake, and Rolando McClain get a pass. Roll Tide!!

But Jack Tatum???

No no no no no 8)

I’m pulling for your tigers in the NC game…damn that almost hurt to say it, lol

Roll Tide

The G looks like a zero or a six, IMO. Either we in the Big 10 still can’t count, or it’s time to start the next round of conference realignment rumors. After all, we’re not just “legends”, we’re “leaders” too.

Whatever that means.

But really folks, the only TRUE, LOGICAL, names for the divisions that reflect ACCURACY are:

Overrated
and
Never Rated

I guess I would have known who he was if I was a Big 10 fan, but I’m not. I have followed the SEC for over 45 years.

Gordon Gee is on line #4 right now to extoll the virtues of playing in the “Leaders Division.”
