Darth Wombat (I hope it isn't "Dingbat" for short!(Hee-Hee)):

Ivy league football (and halftimes: great band shows) is fun to watch.
Purdue is really scum.  Any football team that has to pay off the refs
for 3, count'em, THREE years (1979-1981, I believe) to beat a team
that eventually lost more than 30 in a row, is really, really SCUM.
You check those three years; I may be off by one, but it was a three
year string of questionable calls in the NU-Purdue games that got
Purdue (or Bird-Dew for short; they sound alike and are alike) off 
the hook.

Anyways, the big game that I'm aware of in the Big Ten (besides Mich-OSU)
is (I'm including games that have only one pBig Ten participating) Iowa
vs. Iowa State (otherwise known as the Kelloggs, aka the Corn Bowl).
In the year that Iowa lost the Rose Bowl to Washington, one of the Hawkeyes
said that after beating Iowa State, the Hawkeyes reached their peak and
the Rose Bowl was secondary.  Spoken like a true, stupid Iowan!  This
statement may be true for wrestling, but never, never for football.
Beating Iowa State is more important than beating Nebraska or winning
the Big Ten and being in the Rose Bowl? Hah!
