B1G Commercial

[bostrem00]

Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves scratching their head when the B1G commercial about building legends, shows people like Tom Osborne or Tommie Frazier as a part of Big 10 history....I don't get how they can put them in that conversation since they never coached or played in a single big 10 conference game respectively....

theyre trying too hard to welcome nebraska in

kinda like reverse racism b/c penn st fans love to act like the big 10 has a conspiracy against them for not being welcoming when they joined

so they are going overboard with nebraska instead

Just rewrite the history. The folks growing up now will never notice.

Actually they do the same thing with Penn State - coaches and players from before they were Big 10 schools are included whenever they do stuff like all time Big 10 rosters or talking about notable Big 10 players from the past.

Now that you say that, I just noticed John Cappelletti in that same commercial.....I feel the Big 12 does that to an extent but its more intertwined because of items like the red river rivalry and such....

If you ever watch some of the countdown shows on the BTN about greatest players and coaches in Big ten history Nebby always is mentioned. I think I have seen some of them where Tommy O was one of the top 10 coaches in B1G history and Tommy Frasier and Rodger Craig made the lists. Its a complete joke but so is the B1G.

I think it was funny watching Nebraska's defence today

Football, yes.

Basketball, no.

The way they show themselves to get money, yes, it's pathetic.
