His football savvy alone makes him legendary. The man has basically turned a dozen nobodies at QB into throwing machines. His air-raid offense and coaching tree are also noteworthy.  

Now, pair his offensive mind/football genius with his persona, and I think “national treasure” is not out of the question.

The man is a pirate fergodsakes.

This made me replay Leach blowing on his coffee while Dantonio was at the podium. Classic disrespect.

An interesting question about the Big Ten. Who would win?

- Automatically out: Buckeye, Badger, Gopher, Hawkeye, Terrapin

- Only in specific circumstances: Boiler (if it ran you over)

- If the animal could surprise attack maybe: Nittany Lion, Wildcat, Wolverine 

- Human battle with primitive weapons: Spartan, Illini, Scarlet Knight (no the cannon does not count)

- Human battle with what I am assuming would be shotguns: Hoosier, Corn Husker

Who would have thunk it? The battle of the Big Ten mascots would come down to a shotgun fight between Indiana and Nebraska.

So, today I learned that Purdue's official mascot is not in fact Purdue Pete, but is instead the Boilermaker Special train.  That's probably a good thing for Purdue because Purdue Pete is definitely getting slaughtered by a Spartan, Scarlet Knight and likely an Illini.  Despite that sledge hammer, I'm also betting that the Nittany Lion, Wildcat and Wolverine would all get the better of old Pete as well.
