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. I even managed to break some news when I asked Nebraska head coach Mike Riley whether or not he would take home Nebraska’s *only* Big Ten trophy, the beloved $5 Bits of Broken Chair trophy, after defeating Minnesota. He said yes, but probably didn’t know what the heck I was talking about.
He happily posed with the chair later that year.
