Indianapolis for the B1G Championship Game

Unfortantely I was only on a 36-hour road trip with over 11 of that driving but here's some of what I saw in Indy.

All I know is that Wisconsin sure kicked the crap out of Nebraska.

I'd love to see OSU make it to Indy for the Championship next year too. It'll be a zoo with 30,000 Buckeye fans in town.

Pretty sure they're the fourth best at worst and they beat the second best by 39 points. Their losses to the other two: two OT losses to the ineligibles so even if Penn State and Ohio State are better it's not by a lot. I know people will say what about Michigan: Michigan and Wisconsin didn't play and Nebraska beat Michigan by more than Nebraska beat Wisconsin by the first time.

I forgot about NW. The Badgers could be better than them.

It's not the Badgers fault that OSU got caught cheating. There is a reason for why OSU was not allowed to play in the game you know. I thought the sanctions against Penn St. were a bit too much but that wasn't UWs fault either. After the mauling the Badgers put on the Cornhuskers a Badgers player was asked whether he thought UW really deserved to be in the Rose Bowl and he said, 'all of that stuff was out of our control and we just tried to make the best out of the opportunity that was given us'. No truer words could have said it better.

Nice pics Atrain!

Great photos! From the looks of the ones taken during the day, it seems like most people didn't get out until night. So what were your overall impressions of Indy?

I'd always liked Indy's downtown and looked for a good reason to come back. The downtown does a great job with these type of sporting events it seems. Most of the day pics are from the morning. Spent some time eating, drinking and in the convention center.

OSU didnt get caught cheating... players recieved tats and certain gifts in exchange for autographs and then tressel failed to report it because there was a federal investigation going on and several of his players could have POSSIBLY been involved with a drug ring (the guy that they traded the autographs for was charged with running a drug ring) Tress didnt wanna cut his players necks off when he didnt know if they were guilty of doing that yet. also 3 players the following year were paid to do a charity event that they all drove their own cars to. so tell me where in all that how they cheated? boosters didnt pay or give gifts to players so they would attend the school.. they didnt change anything about games to interfere with the outcome of any contest.
