The Only Colors: Our Long Conference-Wide Nightmare Is Over

Michigan State didn’t hold up their end of the bargain but the other Big Ten schools picked up the slack and the conference won the Big Ten/ACC Challenge for the first time. MSU blog The Only Colors is filled with conference pride.

Tell your Sagarin-based odds to shut up. The Big Ten pulls it out by going 3-2 on the road—with perhaps the biggest win resulting from a 23-point Illini comeback in Clemson, South Carolina.

It’s mildly ironic that the conference finally took down the ACC without a win from MSU, the only Big Ten team that doesn’t have an all-time losing record in the challenge (5-5 now). But what’s good for the Big Ten is good for MSU.

In other words: WOOOOO!!!!

Congrats to the Big Ten. Now you can go back to hating each other.
