New season of Big Ten's Greatest Games

by ReadingRambler on Sep 2, 2010 1:00 PM EDT

Bad news first: Penn State appears on this list thrice. Only one win. One loss from 2001 to Illinois, the other game is the 2002 Michigan debacle. The only teams that get two games are - CONSPIRACY! - Michigan and, um, Illinois. I don't care about Jeff George, Big Ten.

Good news: It is still the Big Ten's Greatest Games, a show that usually gives us high quality football games. And they are finally, finally going to play the 2005 OSU game (November 12th at 6:00 PM ET). There will be an open thread if all goes according to plan.

Here's the full schedule: http://www.bigtennetwork.com/generic/programming/greatest

'01 Illinois was a phenomenal game.

Just a crap ending. What could have been.

How can they show the 02 Michigan game with a clear conscience?

Beat Youngstown State.

They should show it as a double feature with the Iowa game

But seriously, let everybody watch it. Johnnson’s not getting any more out of bounds.

I really love it when reporters ask coaches about obviously blown calls

and they say something like “well it appeared that so and so was in bounds”… you know they’re thinking “yea the refs really blew that call and we got lucky”. I wish people would speak their minds more often, especially when asked about a game that happened several years ago.

That would be great

if that were the score heading to the first commercial break of the Hoosiers/Wildcats basketball game that year.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

An open thread for a game thats 5 years old sounds...

AWESOME!

We are addicts aren’t we.

Too bad its at 5 PM on a Friday. I probably wont get to partake in the open threadedness. DVR to the rescue though.

Good info Rambler.
