Big Ten Greatest Games

Like you had any in the first place?

Believe it or not, I've been exited about the BTN since I heard it was happening. I think if they are successful, it could be a great thing for tOSU and the big televen as a whole. If they can manage to get on every t.v. in the country, a lot of people are going to be exposed to a LOT more Big Ten football, in places where they used to see no more than a handfull of Big Ten games in an entire season. It could be great, not only for fans, but for the programs themselves. More exposure means easier recruiting for teams, to an extent.

I definately see the benefits. And I don't mind BTN, I'm actually stoked I have it in Atlanta, because I've seen every tOSU game this season; whereas last season I saw more SEC football. I understand alot of people are upset with the company because they changed things dramatically.

I'm more concerned with the fact that 90% of the Big Ten's Greatest Games are tOSU losses.
I've never understood why the BTN would show any replay of a nonconference game that the Big Ten lost. You'd think they'd want to downplay it any time the Big Ten looks bad on a national stage.

Except when that loss is an all-timer and the REST of the Big Ten loves to watch it....

Big Ten Greatest Game

Ohio State 39 - Penn State 38 in The "Shoe on 28 October 2017 has to rank up there in the list of "B1G's Greatest Games". Needless to say, it was an "instant classic".

Maybe it wasn't #1 but it is probably in the "top 3" of the Ohio State games I have attended:

1. (because it was against scUM) #1 Ohio State 42 - #2 Michigan 39 in 2006
2. (because it was the Rose Bowl) #4 Ohio State 20 - #2 Arizona State 17 in 1997 Rose Bowl
3. Ohio State 39 - Penn State 38 in The "Shoe on 28 October 2017
4. #1 Ohio State 21 - #4 Michigan 14 in the Big Shithouse on 22 November 1975
