I don't understand why you can't enjoy a well played game? Penn State and Illinois have both played some great games...

Ohhhhhhh that's right you're a homer and not a football fan. My bad.

No kidding. Illinois has played some exciting games this year (see Wisconsin!).....I don't like Mizzou but at least I can admit that the Big 12 has some good teams and the games are fun to watch.

OK, I was being quite sarcastic when I said that Minnesota versus Indiana was the only Big 10 game that matters.

Simba, I'll freely admit that the Big XII sucks. Outside of Missouri and Oklahoma, I don't enjoy watching their games.

No one is saying the Big 12 sucks. I'm finding more and more that people will openly attack someone's taste in football conferences or teams without being first attacked.

i.e. I have a friend who is a Nebraska fan and last time I saw him all he did was say 'Big 10 sucks'.

Seeing has OSU could be in their 3rd Nat'l Championship game in 5 years and Big 10 routinely sends 2 teams to BCS games. I think the Big 12 has some great teams, great rivalries and great tradition. Nebraska has a great tradition and Oklahoma and Texas are perennial contenders. Colorado has been an upset machine this year and look at KU coming out of no where.

I don't even have a problem with a statement like "Big 12 football is better than Big 10 football" That doesn't mean another conference sucks, it only means one is better than another.

Why do many people go around saying ND Sucks, Cubs Suck, Yankees suck, Big 10 Sucks, The SEC is the greatest Conference evar? If I started a thread and said 'Mizzou is the most over-rated team in history' wouldn't you be a lil annoyed with my waste of space and clearly inlammatory if not trollish behavior?

Why did this thread have to go to 'Big 10 sucks, they shouldn't have any nationally broadcast games' when it could have been "I have no interest in the Big 10, I wish the Pac-10, SEC and Big 12 got more games than they do."

No worries....I just have a chip on my shoulder, since I've lived down South, all I hear is how great the SEC and ACC are. People constantly give me crap about the Big 12 or Big 10 (they know I'm from the midwest). Of course, one guy who had the audicity to give me crap is a Mets fan AND he said all of this right after the Mets choked their season away.....I had a bit of fun with it!

I don't really hear anything about the ACC here in Knoxville, but I've become addicted to SEC football. All it took was one game at Neyland Stadium and I was hooked.
