Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[ScriptOhio]

Just say NO to Pittsburgh.

I like the idea of adding Texas, Missouri, and Pitt or Texas, Texas A&M, and Rutgers and then keeping it the Big 10 because it covers 10 states.

Nice idea.

And if they add Texas/Mizzou/Rutgers, they could keep the current logo, since that would be 11 states.

How about this:

I'm not the best in photoshop and it's a really rough mockup but you get the idea.

This is pretty cheesy and obviously a painfully rough draft, but it at least captures the states. You could always add rutgers as an exclamation point.

edit: yes I forgot iowa... one sec

You forgot the red line through circle for that shit heap on top of Indiana

How about Florida? Think of these positives:

- Only team ranked in the top 10 for all of the 26 years of the Director's cup

- UF will get to play out of the South, eliminating 50% of criticism

- UF will get to play in the cold and snow in late fall, eliminating the other 50% of criticism

- More native born Ohioans than Floridians living in Florida now anyway

- One of the few SEC schools to fit Big 10 academic chops

- Gainesville is 338 miles closer than Austin to Columbus

- Massive influx of Florida posters

- You'll be at home in your jorts
- Learn the art of car flipping
- The south steals all of their coaches from Ohio anyway
- Urban could finally take his leave of absence with only having 3 great recruiting schools in conference (not counting B12 additions)

Here's the updated rough draft:

That sounds like a job better suited for Buckyle (or ShaggyBevo's) MS paint greatness.

I like the way you've moved Michigan so that it no longer borders Ohio. If we could do that in the real world, I bet the quality of life in Ohio would improve dramatically without that shit box to our north weighing everyone down.

Seeing as how I'm opposed to Florida (the state) being part on the United States of America, I can't really get on board with Florida (the school) being in the Big Ten.

No thanks. jwinslow's logo doesn't need a flaccid dong hanging off of it.

It'd be pretty cool to put the different teams' logos and colors on their respective states.

it's a fact that the hype and anticipation surrounding the 2006 game was astronomically higher than that of the 2008 game, so I guess the real definition we need to look up is what "diminished" means

You're further proving Mililani's point. There was more hype in 2006 because the media caused more hype. Internal to Ann Arbor and Columbus, The Game was just as important in 2008. Without that victory, we would not have had a share of the Big10 championship.
