Yay, sports! Do the thing, win the points!

I bought a pretty cool tent there that sets up in 1 minute.
Packs back up in a minute as well.

Also the "Double High Queen" Coleman air mattress is a complete life changer if you camp on the regular flocked queen.

I love well crafted logos. This is a good one.

I'm juuuust old enough to remember when the Big 10 used to be a thing!

I'm from Iowa City..."Big 10," there refers to a group of college sports teams.

I'm not from Iowa City..."Big 10," here refers to a group of slow, over-rated college sports teams that used to be relevant.

;)

I just like the logo. Did I inadvertently step into something?

oh it's an ingenious logo. they've been good at logos lately for sure! when they expanded to 11 teams they incorporated a number 11 into the words Big 10 :)

...they're just an over-rated, top-heavy conference for football :)

I have to weigh in. I'm a Nebraska boy (much older than "boy" now), and the good old days of big eight football, with Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska, were legendary. When Nebraska moved to the Big 10 from the Big 12, which was the Big 8 (anyone still following along?), they lost something, and are guaranteed to be a mediocre football school for a long time. The good news is, the Big 10 is a wonderful conference for women's volleyball, with Penn State, Ohio State and Nebraska all strong nationally.

Nebraska has certainly fielded some great teams. Weren't they called the Big Red or something like that at one time?
I attended ASU at a time when if your team didn't belong to the Big 10 they were nothing. Our biggest claim to fame when I attended was a player by the name of Wilford White. Who? You ask. He had a very brief career in the NFL but more importantly he was father of Danny White who also attended ASU and then had a successful career with the Dallas Cowboys.

Lol...I don't follow sports much, but I was aware of all the confusion over the years as the "Big 10" and the "Big 8" expanded (and contracted?) What do you mean by "top-heavy" conference?...and why are the the conferences over-rated? I'm not being sassy, I really want to know.

Fun logo puzzle, Brian.

All I have to say is... Go Arizona Wildcats (Pac-12 Conference)!!!

So the Big 10 men's basketball conference has 14 teams. Ha!

Since I am also not much of a sports fan, I also am curious to hear JoDeen's questions answered.
