In light of the week's events, I did not have the heart to write the usual snarky comments about our conference brethren. Instead, I'm taking a few moments to consider Jerry Kill's legacy from the perspective of the rest of the Big Ten.
Coach Kill's tenure at Minnesota was short, certainly shorter than most of wished for. His decision to retire from the only way of life he's known rocked the man himself, the Gopher community around him, and many, many people across the sports landscape. As Spencer Hall notes in his own inimitable way, when you give that much of yourself to work, how much of you is really left?
