The SB Nation All-Big Ten Teams are here. Before we go any farther, I’d like to tip my cap to Travis Miller of Hammer & Rails for taking the time to pull the whole thing together. It’s a thankless task that involves chasing down really tall bloggers who got the votes from two of their blog team members a week ago and then forgot to send them in. /looks sheepish
Anywho, go Travis!
I’d love to announce the teams with excitement because a lot of Gophers are on it. But the team shat the bed on their way to (probably) getting Pitino fired so you know you’re not going to see a lot of maroon and gold on this list.
First, let’s take a look at the 24 yahoos who voted in this thing.
