On the eve of the 2010 season, let's talk 2011 and beyond. Press conference/selection special for the Big Ten's post-expansion divisional alignment starts at 6:00 on Big Ten Network. Join us for the hate speech against our new local rivals from Lincoln, the gnashing of teeth over Purdue, or the complete evisceration of the people who were leaking rumors all afternoon.
You know the rules. Play ball.

BigTenNetwork.com is saying they will stream it, yes.

Streaming where???
I looked on bigtennetwork.org and could not find a link.

Doesn't matter what they call it
They already made the “Bo” and “Woody” divisions.
AND they kept Ohio State v Michigan as the last game. So if the idots who run our conference think Michigan is coming back as a powerhouse (which they obviously do considering the fact that they had to be split away from Ohio State) then they are basically saying Ohio State and Michigan will frequently meet twice in an 8 day period. And they’re ok with that?
I’m not ok with that.

Why do we have to name divisions after people?
That will show immedaite preference to some schools’ history and tradition and place it as a higher importance over other schools in the conference.
Unless they are named after Nile Kinnick and Cal Jones...
in which case, it would be acceptable.

"Rivalries are a major part of this conference"
Which is why you preserved Iowa/Purdue?
by Hank Thrasher on Sep 1, 2010 6:05 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, I call bullshit on that.
Out of 11 existing protected rivalries, only 5 remain within division. Three more are handled by crossover games, but those are supposed to be for secondary rivalries.
I give it 9 FAILs out of 10.
Compare this to he straight East/West division split and I bet East/West preserves more rivalries.
by HawkeyeInExile on Sep 1, 2010 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Meaning, this was never about preserving rivalries. It was about fellating Ohio State and Michigan live on the Big Ten Network.

RT @johnbohnenkamp: 2012 Iowa schedule — Minnesota, bye, at Mich State, Penn State, at Northwestern, at Indiana, Purdue, at Michigan, Nebraska
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.
Last game of the year at home against the Huskers
Completely makes up for the Purdue thingy. I’m happy.
That schedule is very similar to this year's
Except Minnesota and Michigan State are switched somewhat (and Minny’s at the beginning of the year, which is okay by me) and Nebraska’s on the schedule instead of Ohio State. Nebraska’s the season finale? That almost balances the cluster f-bomb that is a Purdue rivalry.
You see what I did there? Yeeeaaaaaahhhh.

Iowa doesn't use Old Gold

It's as if the Big Ten said...
“Hey, which two teams are just slightly similar in terms of competition level, but who have fanbases who will not violently riot if we absolutely shaft them by removing many of their existing rivalries so they can play each other for our benefit each year? Who has less than 4 truly competitive games in the last two decades, only one of which that even those fanbases remember? Hell if I know, but we have Iowa and Purdue left, so let’s stick them together. Now, it is time for our afternoon nap in the piles of money we have made from the sweat, blood, and occasional deaths of our student-athletes. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Map caused a flashback to my childhood
When I was quite young my older brother and a friend were talking about “69ing”. When I inquired to what that meant he picked up a stick and drew a diagram in the dirt that vaguely resembled a male and female dining on one another. This new Big Ten map has an uncanny resemblance to that dirt drawing. Do you think they used a stick and dirt pile to come up with this?

Why didn't Delaney...
just be up front about the protected rivalry games? As in…“hey, we had to fuck somebody, and it turned out to be Iowa. Sorry. But I gave you Nebraska, so shut up.” That would at least sting less than it does now.
Exactly.
Just don’t blow smoke up my ass with “both teams have won championships in recent years” crap. He did a great job explaining every protected rivalry until he got to this one. Which, of course, has no history and nobody on either side gives a CRAP.
And the Iowa-Nebraska matchup...
was a no-brainer. It is the only Big Ten state that borders Nebraska.
It will only really mean something if Wisconsin or PSU doesn’t play Nebraska every year. I haven’t gotten that far in this thread or today’s current events to know that yet.

Ah-HA!
A contractual provision exists between the Big Ten and its TV partners regarding prime-time games played after Nov. 1. Unless all parties are on board and sign off early in the process — the prime-time schedule is usually finalized between early March and mid April — a November night game likely won’t happen.
So what I gathered from this was that if all parties agreed to the concept back in March/April, a night game could possibly happen. Although, with the volatility of college football, it would be nearly impossible to bank on a specific matchup being, in fact the matchup you want to televise.
i.e. If they wanted Michigan/OSU to be an 8e/7c game, banking on that both teams would be highly ranked and that the game would be an amazing draw, they could do so. But when in reality, OSU was ranked high and Michigan was still in its funk, that’s not necessarily a prime-time game, and other teams may be more deserving of having a higher focus at that time of the season.
So to wrap up, yes, it is possible to have a night game, but is it likely? No. There is too much advance planning that has to occur and too much unpredictability in college football.
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.
by EnergizerHawk on Sep 1, 2010 7:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Fair enough.
I’m guessing the stubbornness from the schools involved is a major stumbling block. OSU-PSU has been a November game in a few recent years and it wouldn’t take a genius to know back in March that that’s probably going to be a big game. But if there’s pushback from the schools invovlved, that’s an issue that’s hard to overcome (and there always is pushback, because night games are much more expensive and are logistical headaches).
I think that’s as big an issue as guessing who’s going to be good so far in advance. ABC would probably want to put OSU-Michigan on in primetime if they could, even if they knew Michigan was going to suck ass. Those are two big brand name teams that will draw in primetime.

Stubbornness from OSU-Michigan?
The hell you say! Why both those schools are paradigms of graceful accommodation towards others.

Why does anybody
think that Iowa fans give a shit about playing Minnesota? Of course it’s fun to hate them, and I will forever, but if that game went away I couldn’t give a shit less. Fuck our rivalry with Minnesota, give us our recent annual bitches PSU or Wisconsin.
I give a shit
I give a lot of shit. I love that rivalry. Even though the competitiveness hasn’t been there for a while, and even though I’m too young to actually remember when it was competitive, hating Minnesota is in my blood and I want to play them every year.
I want Wisconsin too, though.
Yeah, I want Minnesota
and if you don’t, you really should just become an Iowa State fan or something.

It’s fun to kick the shit out of them, but that’s about it. As far as meaningful seasons go, or if we want to start being an annual top 10 team, piddly rivalries where we have way more to lose than gain start being a pain in the ass. Besides, Minnesota fucking sucks.
We've played Minnesota a lot more than Iowa State

We have a losing record against them
Mostly because they actually used to be good gasp
At the VERY least, we have to keep playing them until we have a winning record =P
I know it's heresy to suggest that Iowa fans don't care about...
the rivalry with Minnesota now. But unless Brewster or his successor get their heads out of their butts, I could see it turning into the last days of Jim Walden. We will have beaten them for 10 to 20 consecutive years (or close to it), and it will only be fun because it will be funny to make fun of Gopher fans. But, there are few of them here in Iowa, so it really won’t be that fun.
Meanwhile, I have to somehow now prove to my Wisconsinite relatives and coworkers that Iowa is better than them without us playing them each year, and with both Iowa and Wisconsin probably having similar records.
This is not a good situation. I love the Floyd of Rosedale trophy (and hate the Heartland Trophy), but at this point, I’d rather play Wisconsin each year and Minnesota two out of every 4 years.

Jesus, I didn't feel I deserved that.
I’m just saying that the Minnesota game, like the Iowa State game, is nothing more than a hate fest and a pain in the ass where we have something to lose and not much to gain.
Did you deserve that? Probably not.
But don’t presume to speak for all Iowa fans. The Minnesota rivalry has 100 years of history behind it and a great trophy. It may not have the luster it used to, but that’s not necessarily a permanent state of being and not reason enough to end said series. There’s more emotion and more hate there than in the Penn State and Wisco series combined. The PSU and Wisco series have been more competitive lately, but Penn State’s competitiveness is predicated in part on having a coach who looks like the motherfucking Cryptkeeper, while Wisco’s success is no more guaranteed than Minnesota’s continued failure is guaranteed (unless Brewster stays around as coach, anyway).
As far as meaningful seasons go, or if we want to start being an annual top 10 team, piddly rivalries where we have way more to lose than gain start being a pain in the ass.
This is such nauseatingly presumptuous bullshit. The strength of teams ebbs and flows; rivalries are forever.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
After I get done flogging myself,
I’ll have to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me. I can’t believe I’m the only one who prefers a game against PSU or Wisky annually over Minnesota. I’m glad it’s not the last game of the year anymore, because that only furthered my disdain for that game. When we’re trying to earn national respect (which we always are, regardless of our record), having the last game of the year against Minnesota and winning 12-0 isn’t exactly going to get us any extra votes in the polls. It might sound like nauseatingly presumptuous bullshit. But saying that rivalries are forever make you sound like an Iowa State fan trying to make something more important than it is. If playing Minnesota every year is that important to some people, roger. I redact my statement. I thought more people thought like me in saying that Minnesota is a pain in the ass and nothing more. It’s like playing a I-AA team in the middle of your B10 schedule, or end, or wherever that stupid game ends up from here on out.

I love the Penn St and Wisconsin games, but...
I think we have been given a gift. It looks like we have an easier road to the conference championship than Nebraska or Michigan.
Totally true.
I just don’t want an undefeated Hawkeye team to get passed up by a 1-loss SEC team because we play teams like Minnesota and don’t blow them out – because, save a certain 55-0 ass-ramming – it doesn’t happen that often in “rivalry” games where nobody outside those two states care.
RossWB told me to fuck off.
Um, in case you missed it
we will still play Michigan and Nebraska every year plus (eventually) four games against the other division (it’s never going to be Purdue, Illinois and Indiana in the same season). We’ll be fine as far as SOS.

Flog yourself silly. I don't give a shit.
We were never – ever- going to get an annual game with Penn State unless they were placed in our division. If that was your hope, it was a pipe dream. I can understand wanting Wisconsin, but we were never going to get them in this set-up. Leaving that aside, Wisconsin vs. Minnesota is an issue of personal preference here. I think basing that decision on relative competitiveness is incredibly short-sighted.
When we’re trying to earn national respect (which we always are, regardless of our record), having the last game of the year against Minnesota and winning 12-0 isn’t exactly going to get us any extra votes in the polls.
By that logic, all teams should scrap rivalries as soon as they enter a run where they aren’t as competitive. So I guess Ohio State should drop Michigan; they fucking suck right now. Why does Florida keep playing Florida State?
It might sound like nauseatingly presumptuous bullshit. But saying that rivalries are forever make you sound like an Iowa State fan trying to make something more important than it is.
What?
I thought more people thought like me in saying that Minnesota is a pain in the ass and nothing more.
When we ran a poll a little over two months ago about who Iowa’s season-ending foe should be, Minnesota was a rock-solid #2 (Nebraska was the runaway winner). So, yes, I think you misjudged the sentiment.
It’s like playing a I-AA team in the middle of your B10 schedule, or end, or wherever that stupid game ends up from here on out.
I love ripping on Minnesota as much as anyone, but (a) they aren’t quite that pathetic and (b) the presumption that they’re always going to be dogshit terrible is a bit silly.

If you want to argue that PSU or Wisco would be preferrable because you enjoy those games more, that’s fine. I can’t convince you otherwise. I think trying to argue the point from a strategic sense is flawed, though. Playing Minnesota in lieu of one of those teams isn’t going to cripple us in public perception or poll rankings.

If one just looks only at recent competetiveness then

I think this is mostly..
surprise on the part of Iowa fans how this breaks down. For us and Purdue, the cross divisional rivalry was the scraps of the conference with really no meaning behind it. It sucks, sure, but I think as we sit back and look into all this a little more it will end up being a good divisional break down.
I get that.
We also get Michigan as an annual opponent. I like that. I like that a whole lot. There’s no reason we can’t be competitive with them (by historical standards, we’ve been pretty damn competitive with them over the last decade) and a win over Michigan is going to carry more cache than a win over Wisconsin unless Wisconsin wins 8 of the next 10 titles and Michigan continues to fucking suck ass.
I’m sad we lose Wisco as an annual foe. But they aren’t gone forever.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Exactly.
Rivalry-wise, we lose Wiscy for two years, but gain Nebraska for good – not a horrible trade in my opinion for now. Maybe in 2015 we get Wiscy back again and we have three solid rivalries and that other game against Purdue that no one cares a whole lot about.
and who knows, Purdue has been good before and could be good again.
They are about our same size and are known for punching above their weight.
I think its a good match, especially if the Nebraska as last game is permanent.
It's not that it's terrible.
Just that everyone else has SOMETHING to be excited about with their cross-div games.
Although from an Iowa standpoint
we got guaranteed games with Minnesota and Nebraska plus Michigan, the one of the two “giants” that we’ve actually beaten from time-to-time.

Marc,
I know this is very early, but seeing how these divisions are basically what was predicted, have you gotten a sense of what the team or staff thought of the proposals? And what of Purdue being the protected rivalry? While I would imagine KF doesn’t really care who we play, in the sense that a game is a game and we need to try to win them all, I’m curious if they feel this is a good set up for us to be successful.

Blame this on the conference money grab
We the fans wanted them to be in the same division. The conference decided that the possibility of making an extra couple of million in some years mattered more than anything else.

No offense, but this makes zero sense.
Having the OSU v Michigan replayed after one week will not increase ticket sales. It will make the Big Ten look like a national joke.

"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
So I had to look up the full schedules...
Iowa’s home schedule in 2011 – Tennessee Tech, Pittsburgh, ULM, Northwestern, Indiana, Michigan, and Michigan State. Ouch. That’s a slight drop off from this year.
Iowa’s home schedule in 2012 – Iowa State, UNI, Cenral Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, Purdue, Nebraska. Now that is a schedule I like a fair amount.
In 2012
we win our second Big Ten title in three years.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Hmm.
So our road schedule in 2011 is ISU, Minnesota (again?), Penn State, Purdue, and Nebraska? Hrm. Maybe that’s the year I finally get over to State College.
It’s a shame that the Michigan schools don’t rotate home and away every other year (i.e., at Ann Arbor in 2011, at East Lansing in 2012); I have friends in Michigan and it’d be nice to have a reason to visit them every year to go to those games. Ah well.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah..
I thought that was a little strange. I guess they had to move enough stuff around to double up again. We get MSU at home two years in a row which makes us even after having to go there two in a row.
Agreed on rotating the Michigan teams – it would make more sense.
Bring it, dude
We’ll get our drank on.
Until our defense proves otherwise, it should be presumed they will be excellent.
The Purdue thread on the announcement
has five posts…and one of them was mine. This may go down as the most boring rivalry in history.

Stupid and delaney is an absolute MORON!!! Protecting natural rivalries my ass!!! We don’t border purdue’s state, we didn’t road trip to Indiana to buy higher alcohol content beer when it existed in Wisconsin to get drunker faster. Do we even recruit in Indiana? Maybe for basketball and occasionally for football. How many top Wisconsin recruits have we got either on our roster or committed to our program? So now we have to come up with another trophy to share with purdue? Thank god he loves Iowa cuz the big X+II brass sure don’t give a rats ass!!!

Je déteste l'Université Purdue
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
20th October. Yet another. I was walking by the river, after breakfast. And I saw, under a willow, a Purdue fan asleep. It was noon. A spade was standing in a potato-field near by, as if expressly, for me.
I took it. I returned; I raised it like a club, and with one blow of the edge I cleft the Purdue fan’s head. Oh! he bled, this one! Rose-colored blood. It flowed into the water, quite gently. And I went away with a grave step. If I had been seen! Ah! ah! I should have made an excellent assassin.
25th October. The affair of the Purdue fan makes a great stir. His nephew, who fished with him, is charged with the murder.
26th October. The examining magistrate affirms that the nephew is guilty. Everybody in town believes it. Ah! ah!
27th October. The nephew makes a very poor witness. He had gone to the village to buy bread and cheese, he declared. He swore that his uncle had been killed in his absence! Who would believe him?
28th October. The nephew has all but confessed, they have badgered him so. Ah! ah! justice!
15th November. There are overwhelming proofs against the nephew, who was his uncle’s heir. I shall preside at the sessions.
25th January. To death! to death! to death! I have had him condemned to death! Ah! ah! The advocate-general spoke like an angel! Ah! ah! Yet another! I shall go to see him executed!
10th March. It is done. They guillotined him this morning. He died very well! very well! That gave me pleasure! How fine it is to see a man’s head cut off

Sweet, the B10 made a rivalry for me
Grew up in Iowa rooting for the Hawks, went to school at Purdue, now I hate you.
Oh and next year, if we manage to beat OSU again, could you not lose to jNW (for once), I’d like to see us beat the shit out of the defending B10 champs in Ross-Ade in 2011 to start this rivalry out right.
i think the Hawkeye website has an error for the 2012 Iowa/Nebraska game.
there is, however, no error that MSU comes to Kinnick in 2010 & 2011.

yep; still not fixed on hawkeye future schedules webpage, maybe a Purdue grad
is the webmaster?

I'm sick, but I'm pretty...

Ah, ha!
That settles it. Conference Red and Conference Blue. Battling for the right to be America’s Team – sponsored by Pepsi!
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.
