[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1690489, member: 747217"] The Braggin Rights game is there for the rivalry, and less so the resume building. Though it is nice when it does actually build our resume (which would also mean Miznoz is pretty good…which means a big crowd and good tv spot). I think what could scratch your itch is if we become so good we start to get invited to the Champions Classic (or whatever it’s called) in Chicago each year. THAT checks your boxes I believe and also has (usually) consistent teams in it. It seems MSU is always in it. If Illinois could be the one to replace MSU as the B1G rep and we still had BR, I think all would be happy. I’m with those that don’t think it feasible for another High Major team to risk a neutral site game every year to play us. The reason we can do it with Miznoz is because that rivalry is so potent. It would be difficult to manifest that sort of potency with another team. Anyway, I know you’ve already talked your points to death but figured I’d throw in one more time! 👍🏻 [/QUOTE]
