[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1962365, member: 590800"] I will say right off the bat that I REALLY want to win the West. I have gone to the Big Ten Championship Game twice with my Iowa friends, and let me tell you that the experience and environment is SO worth it, regardless of the result of the game. Besides, at least up until that kickoff, anything is possible! The environment in Downtown Indy is so fun - Big Ten fans everywhere, the bar scene is great, there is a very noticeable buzz, etc. So, I am really trying to be optimistic. :cool: With that said, I have this terrible feeling that #3 and #4 will happen in an infuriatingly "wrong" order (like Wisconsin winning at Minnesota but losing to Nebraska). 1. Illini win out. No problem! I am not saying it is likely, but this one is pretty easy to swallow - you either win the two games you have to, or you had no business winning the West. I am also cautiously optimistic we can win both games. 2. Iowa losing out. Also not that nervous about this! One would obviously be to the Illini, and I could see the Huskers being really up for that final game in Lincoln. Then I get a little nervous. It would be SO nice to have that Wisconsin game back. :cry: [/QUOTE]
