WOW!! 66 pictures in the gallery would lead one to believe 6 pictures from each B1G team?? WHY the bias BTN?? Nice job forgetting that there are actually 11 teams in our conference! Unfortunately this is typical protocol for you!
We considered the best photos, regardless of team affiliation. Also, our photo service provides more photos from some teams than others on a weekly basis. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Maybe its time for a new photo service provider. I agree with jjd.
You may as well have not even replied, Brent. People like jjd assume that everything they don’t like about sports is a conspiracy.
Your perfectly logical answer won’t satisfy him/her.
jjd can’t even count how many “teams are in our conference” (news flash) its 12 soon to be 14
TRUE ENOUGH Logan! YES, my huge mistake…12 teams, soon to be 14! Tony, thank you for offering your opinion of my comment and then saving me the task of speaking for myself!! Unfortunately you are incorrect – I can understand and accept the reasoning now that Brent explained how this gallery came to be. A sports conspiracy?? Wow Tony, that comment alone speaks volumes about you! Are you even an alum of a B1G SCHOOL? LOL!!
jjd… dude… there are 12 teams… soon to be 14… who cares, it’s a photo gallery.
Heck, all you needed was Michigan State photos!
