On Saturday, December 31st history will be made. Yes, the calendar will click over to a brand new year; apparently CNN’s coverage will be alcohol free; and I will strive to avoid embarrassing myself in my first family focused New Year’s Eve in a….long time. All historic for sure. As a sports fan, and a Big Ten team fan, none of those matter. The achievement that matters is TWO Big Ten teams will play in the College Football National Championship Playoffs.
This may be run of the mill for our SEC colleagues, but for the Big Ten it’s a first.
