Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue Boilermakers, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Michigan Wolverines these are just some of the 14 teams in the Big Ten. There are a lot of rivals like Ohio State vs. Penn State and Iowa vs. Nebraska and Indiana vs. Purdue. Also have you noticed that some of the teachers have things like flags in their room or they wear jerseys? Lots of teachers have strong opinions about their favorite teams. So what are some of the teachers favorite teams?
Mrs. Grubb says that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are the best team. She said the reason she thinks they are the best is because “I was raised a Cornhusker!” She also went to college at the University of Nebraska. What about Mrs. Erickson? She says that Indiana Hoosiers are the best. The reason is “I married into an IU family- my husband's family are big IU fans. But I ended up going to IU for my Master's degree, so I'm also an alumnus.”
Lots of teachers have connections to IU through sports. For example Mrs. Musselwhite. She said, “The reason that IU is my favorite is because I like to go to IU women's basketball games with my family and friends.”
These are where the Big Ten states are.
Now for Indiana's biggest rivals, the Purdue Boilermakers, that's what Mrs. Hanson thinks the best team is. She says, “They have a really good sports team in all of their athletics like their basketball is great and I think their football is great I don't actually watch it.” She also mentioned “My oldest daughter wants to go to Purdue so it is a little more on our radar than other places.” Even though Mrs. Hanson is a Purdue fan she went to Indiana. Mr. Woodcock also thinks that Purdue is the best. “I believe they will win March Madness.”
It is no surprise that Indiana Hoosiers are what people think the best team is. It is also no surprise that Purdue Boilermakers has the second most votes. As you can see Indiana and Purdue have pretty close Undergrad Enrollment. Indiana has 33,429 and Purdue 32,132. Ohio State has the most Undergrad Enrollment with 45,946. Northwestern has the lowest Undergrad Enrollment with 8,700 students. A majority of the teachers at EJHS went to Indiana University for college.
Based on the results of the College Questionnaire, 17 of the 25 teachers that responded went to Indiana University (IU).
So, we have come to the conclusion that IU is the best Big Ten Team. (At least according to EJHS staff!)
