I’m going to the Big Ten kickoff luncheon as a fan. What should I ask the coaches?

Time to get autographs and ask questions!

Last year, I took a day off of work to go to the Big Ten kickoff luncheon as a fan. I had a marvelous day taking over Off Tackle Empire’s Twitter account and live-tweeting pictures and movies.

He said yes, but probably didn’t know what the heck I was talking about.

He happily posed with the chair later that year.
