Nine Big Ten products were named to the NFL Pro Bowl on Tuesday, highlighted by quarterbacks Tom Brady (Michigan) and Drew Brees (Purdue). Brees, of course, broke Dan Marino’s 27-year-old record for passing yards in a season Monday night (read more about the record!). The other former Big Ten players joining the QB’s include: T Joe Thomas (Wisconsin), T Jake Long (Michigan), C Nick Mangold (Ohio State), G Marshal Yanda (Iowa), LB Tamba Hali (Penn State), G Carl Nicks (Nebraska) and DB Charles Woodson (Michigan). See the Pro Bowl rosters.

Oregon is notorious for pushing the envelope when it comes to uniforms, thanks in large part to Phil Knight’s involvement with the school, so it’s no surprise the Ducks will be sporting a head-turning look when they take on Big Ten champ Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2. Nike recently released Oregon’s latest duds, and they are conversation starters, to say the least. There is a Darth Vader-like shiny black helmet, there are black wings on the shoulders of the jerseys, and so much more you must see. See a photo gallery of the uniforms, courtesy of LostLettermen.com.
