ESPN's Rick Reily writes a primer for Nebraska ,  introducing Cornhusker fans on the ins-and-outs of their school's new home:  the Big Ten.  One of those rare pieces where everybody gets abused.  He goes through the conference team-by-team.  Great fun to be out of the line of fire.

Q: Why do Penn State players wear black shoes?
A: Reportedly, coach Joe Paterno believes it makes his players look slower, which is not true. Bowl games do.

Q: How is the health of the 84-year-old Paterno?
A: His ears still hurt a little from The Big Bang.

And this:

You know what might impress them, though? Your bowl record. You're 24-23 all time. You better knock that crap off.

In the Big Ten, that's just showing off.

Who's Reilly to make fun of anybody? He went to UC-1959.

That I had to check out.  I found that hard to believe.  The bio of Rick Reilly says he started writing a column as a sophomore at another U of C, the University of Colorado.
