Birdnasty i agree with the division name, where on earth did they come up with that and who.. Honestly i think and pretty simple group a and group b would be just as good.

owu02 Embarrassing.

nolchamps13 List of screw ups:1. Baby blue? c'mon guys it is Big Ten smashmouth football.
2. Is that how creative they can be? Some people said a 12 year old could do better which isn't true. A nine year old could.
3. It make the WHOLE conference look terrible. Like baby (blue) back b******.
4. Leaders and Legends? North/South, East/West would totally suffice.

I'm sure Nebraska is regretting this move now. Big Ten football is going to turn into a joke. I'm quoting this" It will be gone earlier than the GAP logo.:???: :vomit:

ptangzoot Sad part is that someone got paid a lot of money to do this....
New Logos = Fail.

Naming your position awards?? What the hell?
Championship torphy should have a name...coach of the year I can let slide...but a "named" award for each positions = Epic Failure.
Big ten "insert position here" of the year award should be just fine.
Naming them all is embarrassing.


So are you a leader or a Legend?
ROFLMAO!
This is sad...

Mr. BrownFinger Terrible. Anyone think that they made it so that the G could turn into a 6 with more expansion? That would be a terrible decision backed up with a horrendous one. Whats with the trophy names?

Sec fan, "After the bowl game, you will be as black and blue as your gay logo."
December 13th, 2010 03:49 PM
Mr. BrownFinger How did they forget to mention the other new awards?

Gee-Broekhuizen Holy Shi-nikeys award. This award is for bad kickers or for presidents that have foot in mouth syndrome.

Jesus-Paterno award. This is for Big Ten members older than Moses.

Zook-Rodriguez "coaching" award. This is for once successful coaches that leave their established talent to come to the big ten and drive their new school into the ground.
December 13th, 2010 03:52 PM
OSU Josh Griese-Brees award. For anyone who eats at White Castle.
December 13th, 2010 04:56 PM
jafo B1G kinda looks like 16...future number of teams in the Big Ten?
December 13th, 2010 05:04 PM
Dr. Torch Woody's name on a trophy with Schembechler? God's balls that's just wrong.

also agree on the horrible logo, looks like a PBS plug during sweeps month in July of 78
December 13th, 2010 05:51 PM
Mmac2009 They should have named the divisions the "Great Lakes" division and the "Great Plains" division.
December 13th, 2010 05:55 PM
ronburgandy They just made fun of it on PTI as well.

Why not something just simple, like the north and south or east and west divisons?
December 13th, 2010 06:39 PM
nolchamps13 Came up with the Clarett Award for the most players arrested. Can anyone think of anyone else?
December 13th, 2010 06:48 PM
ptangzoot The Art Schlichter award for the team that fails to cover the spread the most often durring a season.
December 13th, 2010 07:02 PM
Dr. Torch the Chad Henne award for most career losses vs Ohio State
December 13th, 2010 07:05 PM
ronburgandy ^^^
Should be renamed the Henne-Hart in that case.
December 13th, 2010 07:10 PM
John14_6 "Yeah, man. We are the Leader Leaders."

Ugh.
December 13th, 2010 07:20 PM

+1 lol. I thought the same thing when I saw it.
December 13th, 2010 08:04 PM
tarhe I can't believe they are getting rid of the Dave McClain award to the top coach of the Big Ten. What a shame!
December 13th, 2010 08:06 PM
ScarletFever Leaders division how gay, trying to cram down the student athlete garbage down our throats. Nobody gives a damn if these kids graduate or not we just want to see them play football.

Horrible.
December 13th, 2010 08:07 PM
johnson45 exactly lol can you say fairy?
December 13th, 2010 08:19 PM
nolchamps13 IMO (and this probably isn't the case) the Big Ten really didn't have to match with the Pac-10. No one would have cared if they just kept the old logo instead of embarrasing themselves in making a new one.
December 13th, 2010 08:27 PM
johnson45 ^^^^true i thought the old logo matched the big 10 perfect

hardingmavman I about cracked up when i saw the names but then i saw the logo and couldnt believe they actually payed someone to make that my 4 year old could have done better this is so embarrassing they could have taken longer and actually came up with something that made sense.....
December 13th, 2010 08:44 PM
johnson45 i wonder who actually likes the new divisons? -_-
