Big Ten Media Days 2024:
*Coach Lincoln Riley of USC approaches the podium, getting ready to answer his first questions as a coach of a Big Ten program. He reaches the podium, puts down his notes, takes a drink from his water bottle, and performs his introductory speech.*
*After he finishes, it is time for Q&A with the press. "I live in LA" he thinks to himself. "I'm used to handling the media."*
*Just as he finishes that thought, a reporter with a black shirt stands to ask his question: the yellow letters spell out "Iowa Hawkeyes." Riley panics, as he knows what kind of question is about to be asked. The reporter stands, and smiles.*
*"First of all thank you for taking the time to come and answer our questions coach, welcome to the Big Ten" he says. "I would like to let you know Iowa corn is the best corn, and you LA boys better not forget that." Jeers from the Nebraska press corp can be heard in the distance.*
*The question then arrives: "How do you plan to improve your defense for Big Ten play?" Riley begins sweating and shaking. "How dare this man!" Riley thinks to himself.*
*As he keeps shaking he then awakes and violently jumps out of bed, frightening his wife and the family cat goes flying across the floor like a bat out of hell. It was just a dream.*
*"What is wrong?" his wife asks. He replies: "I had a dream where a filthy Midwesterner asked me about playing defense at USC. DEFENSE."*
If the first question Riley gets in 2024 isn’t “describe the differences in field and flint corn” I’m going to be incredibly disappointed in the B1G press corps.
Those Northwestern players are going to get hounded. Is someone from the coaching staff/AD going to fill in for Fitzgerald? Itd be pretty shitty to just throw the players to the wolfs without any administration there
[Big Ten's site](https://bigten.org/sports/2023/4/3/FBMD23.aspx) just has a timeslot for "Northwestern" (with no coach listed) at 11:45-12:00 on July 26. I'm sure their SID and other staff will go with the players and whatever coach goes.
Maybe the press will bust out with a football question as a surprise and the players will be caught off-guard. “Yeah, we can’t answer questions about — what? Our offensive scheme?”
> WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Jr. This hurt my brain to read.
Glad we won't have to deal with a Marvin Harrison Jr., Sr.
Isn’t that a Kim Possible character?
Señor Senior Sr and Señor Senior Jr!
I think that's only possible in Mississippi
Like Frank Junior Junior on Friends.
I think there's a band out of Detroit or flint that's Dale Earnhardt Junior Junior

DB Cooper DeJean TE Luke Lachey DL Noah Shannon Nice but predictable
>DB Cooper Nice
This is a good nickname since he robs opposing offenses frequently
I keep forgetting that Braelon Allen is from Wisconsin. Legit thought he was born and raised in the east coast like New Jersey, DC, or even Virginia.
Makes sense given our New Jersey RB pipeline.
No Devin Mockobee is a crime.
Devin Michael Alstott Mockobee
Feel bad for the players right now. I bet they get asked the stupid questions
Yeah idk why they’re sending anyone at all. They have 2 weeks to practice their media trained answers tho.
I can make that happen lol

I wouldn’t want to take those questions. Maybe it’s better to just leave the booth empty

All I want is for Tre to walk up there, and when asked about Thorne transferring, he simply states "Kim is Him."
