I don’t know if there is anything that can save it.
Longtime readers, hell short-time readers too since I bring it up all the time, of this site know that I was not born and raised in Big Ten Country. While the definition of what Big Ten Country has changed (again) in the past week, I never considered the greater Delaware Valley region to be included when people talked about the Big Ten.
Sure there are plenty of Penn State fans there, and with the addition of Rutgers and Maryland to the conference more east coasters became “Big Ten,” but when you ask someone to define Big Ten Country they will almost assuredly describe a cold, gray, possibly snowing, November morning in the upper midwest with burly dudes who were raised on a farm running into each other.
