I have misplaced my pants.
Same thread.
Funny... yeah, they came in and rolled through the conference in the 2nd year. What about since? In 30 years, how many conference titles did they get? 1994, 2005, 2008, 2016. Am I missing one? I thought they had 5 championships. Wikipedia says it's just the 4 Big Ten titles. So... yeah, they've really made the conference look bad.
*ichigan has 6 championships in that time.
Wisconsin has 5 championships in that time.
Ohio State, of course, has a bunch.
Northwestern has 3 championships and Michigan State has 3. So, good work being 4th place, above Northwestern.
They definitely didn’t like that beat down, and the league absolutely didn’t want Penn State supplanting the “Big Two” so quickly. —Explains why the Midwest writers and coaches tossed Penn State under the bus with the year end polls. If Penn State were able to recruit with a National Championship right out of the gate, the “Big Two” would have been immediately subjugated . ——Passive aggressive , administrative beat down of the “New Guy”.
** Michigan blowing that game against Colorado also contributed.**
Oh boy, did that piss them off. When we joined this bogus B2G conference all the talk was Penn State was going to learn what real football is about. That the weekly pounding of the big boys would show them interlopers from back east. It would take five years or more for them to adapt.
Then, in just the second year, we not only win the conference but steam roll right through everyone. Really made them look bad. And they have hated us ever since.
