WTF? Name the trophy after an active coach? Hell, how long has PSU been in the Big 10? That's just wrong.

Well, I suspect you're satisfied now, as the trophy is named for a coach of the University of Chicago, which left the Big Ten in 1946 and hasn't played major college football since 1939.

are you insinuating the Big 10 isnt major college football/
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

They dropped football in '39 but were still in the Big Ten for other sports until that final exit. They eventually brought back football and play in DIII in a conference of fellow schools that focus more on, you know, schoolin', like Case-West, Brandeis, and such.

i think you have it backwards, BBB. He's more recruiter than he is coach.

His Offensive Coordinator, on the other hand, is making lemonade out of lemons. The defensive coordinator, jury is still out, due to the transition from 3-4 to 4-3....first year was horrific, second year has been average to above-average....
