One of my favorite things that the ESPN Big Ten blog does, is their fantasy football challenge throughout the year. So naturally, the Black Shoe Diaries editors decided that we wanted to do it, also. Rather than trying to challenge ESPN in a winner-takes-their-studio-and-tv-time competition, we figured it would be better to just do this on our own.
Chad, Cari, Jared, Bill and myself went through a draft to pick our teams. All offensive players and team defenses in the Big Ten were eligible to be drafted. The roster calls for two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, one flex that can be either a wide receiver or a tight end, a kicker, a team defense and a bench spot.
