    You guys had a nice run when you had 120 man rosters. Back in the "olden days." Which is why I don't go scoreboard on the 1939 Tall Firs, the very first NCAA BB champs. Because NOC. And that trophy isn't shared. I checked.
    Scholarship limits started in 1973 but still

    1973 brought about the first limitations on football scholarships in order to free up money for women's sports after Title IX was passed by Congress in 1972 as part of the Equal Opportunity in Education Act. This caused the NCAA schools' presidents and athletic directors to push through a limit of 105 football scholarships. Additional reductions were made in 1978 (95) and again in 1992 which brought the limit to its present number of 85 and 63 for Division I-AA.

    You know they stacked non-scholarship guys like cordwood. UW had dozens. SC did the same. But still.

    and Nebraska fans, Florida fans, Florida State fans, Miami fans, Notre Dame fans, Michigan fans, Bama fans, Tennessee fans, A&M fans, Colorado fans...

    I wonder if there's a power 5 program who has a lower appreciation for the history of college football than ducks

    I guess for fans of some of these schools being able to cuddle up with their glory days at bedtime is nice.

    No. Just the tallest midget in the Pac-12 over the last dozen years at least. Unless there's a schools that has had a better run in the conference that I'm unaware of?

    But the key is being able to watch their network

    What a concept

    I like the history shows. Can't wait for Big 10 legend John McKay
    Such a brilliant move to wipe out most of the B1G's abominable Rose Bowel history by acquiring the primary culprit.

    My whole perspective and bias on the Big 10 (and a lot of other things) was shaped by what I saw growing up. I was too young to have ever been in awe of Michigan ... all I saw Big 10 team after team come out west and underwhelm in the RB. I grew up thinking the Pac 10 owned that game. And based on my time in Miami and following the Orange Bowl, which was tied on end to the Big 8 and open on the other, I used to legit say out loud "why doesn't the Rose Bowl do the same thing as the Orange? Pac 10 champ vs. best team available?" Hubris, right? But fuck, it was true. That bias was so strong in me that it took me a while to really accept Buck as the real thing. They were OK but not elite for years, and belonging to the Big 10, again, was not going to impress me.

    I know now it's a tough league. I get it. But it is not in the same galaxy as the SEC.

    One peaked 31 years ago. As I was saying.

    188-70 since 2000.

    Best in the Conference

    No need to climb into the way back machine either.

    I know.

    Still no 1/2 title to cuddle with.

    Yet.
