I know this will never pass, but the fact that it even was proposed got my blood pressure up for a moment. I'll fully admit I'm not a huge fan of the game. Once the Championship game stopped being played at Soldier Field and it was bounced around between the teams home field that's when I felt a huge incentive for the players was gone and the game was going to die out.....but it hasn't. It's continued on because of tradition. While some schools bow out because their season was State or Bust, that's their right, but enough schools have always stepped up and used this game as an advantage for players to develop, some to get more film for College, teams to continue playing and practicing together, especially if their playoff run was unexpectedly short, and for some schools, as a recruiting tool. Some stary eyed grade school student sees you celebrating a Championship on Thanksgiving weekend and hoisting a trophy they see a winning program they may want to be a part of. This game should not be bothering anyone. It's tradition between two of the oldest conferences in the State. I hope this Sycamore person who proposed it email box is flooded with disapproving emails.
