A relevant Big 10 Championship!
Tonight the #1 team in the country, Ohio State, will play the #2 team in the country, Indiana, in the Big Ten Championship. It's a lot of red and white. It's also bonkers that Indiana is where it is.
In 129 years of play, Indiana has won the Big Ten Championship twice: in 1945 (during World War II) and in 1967. That's... not very often. In the past several decades, they have been the hapless team that others tried to schedule for their own homecoming games.
Suddenly-- quite suddenly-- that has changed, with the arrival of a new coach from James Madison. Curt Cignetti has worked some kind of miracle, and tonight may be the high point. And even if they lose, Indiana, undefeated up to this point, is going to be in the playoffs.
You can probably tell who I will be rooting for...
