Big Ten teams as Biblical Figures

Found this on EDSBS. Written by "SpartanGator" so it does have an unveiled and admitted Sparty homerism to it.

http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2011/2/10/1987236/b1g-programs-as-biblical-figures

Michigan - King Saul:  The first real ruler of the B1G.  Became crazy, corrupt and self entitled.  Feared David (Ohio State) taking over, yet was strangely depended upon him for sanity and purpose.  Did not go away easily.  Fuck Michigan.

I also thought the Indiana and Minnesota ones were pretty good. I'd like to see everyone's take on which figures you would select for which teams. His is skewed a little towards the Old Testiment...and his Sparty goggles...

Perfect, just perfect for the past few years.  That makes Tressel one of the plagues that God allows the devil to send to test us, but this also means in the end we come through and win again!

Purdue

It's an Indiana-based clearinghouse for players who could serve better on other rosters. It's like the Big Ten's version of Kelly Services.

Purdue is the older brother

Purdue is the older brother from the parable of the prodigal son.  Always just hung around, never doing anything worth noticing, and complains bitterly when the other brother comes out of nowhere and gets a big party thrown for him.

Also, re: Wisconsin as Noah, same guy who, after the flood, got drunk, stripped naked, and passed out in his tent.  Sounds about right to me.

New Improved Version

mostly the same, except ...

Ohio State = Nebuchadnezzar II: powerful, evil, boastful; soon to be put in their place...

Michigan State = Jehu: had some early success, but tolerated iniquity and eventually was conquered by nomads

Michigan = Moses: "leaders and best" ... "conquering heroes" ... nuff said

Michigan is Joseph

I think the most obvious scenario would have Michigan as Joseph.  He had 11 brothers who were jealous of him because he was the smartest and most favored of all of Jacob's sons.  It also pissed his brothers off because he had the most kick-ass looking coat (there are rumors that it was colored maize and blue).

Oregon = Joseph

I know they're not in the B1G, but I think you have to save Joseph for Oregon due to the multi-colored coat / technicolor uniforms comparison.

I vote for MSU as Judas, who betrayed UM by voting for OSU to go to the Rose Bowl. Although the plague of frogs fits them perfectly as well.

Purdue = Noah, he built an Ark, they have a kick-ass train.

Nebraska being new would have to be some seven-headed demon serpent out of Revelations.

OSU = satan. Obviously.

Minnesota = the 12 apostles. They were fishers of men, Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. Lots of fishing going on there, even if' it's ice fishing.

University of Chicago = John the Baptist. He got beheaded. They beheaded their athletic programs.

Biblical Characters

Abel = Michigan

Cain = Michigan State

Only in this case almost everytime Cain tries to kill Abel, Abel pulls out a kabar and Modern Warfare's his ass

EDIT: Attempted to save myself from looking like a total bonehead for spelling Cain so incredibly wrong... Thanks Tater, lol.

Three points here:

1.  I love TR's WWE spelling of "Kane," even if it was subsequently edited.

2.  There is no way Sparty could be half this funny trying to find biblical analogies for Michigan, if they could even spell "analogy."

3.  My finger is tired from having to pos so many people for making me laugh so hard.  Thanks to all.

Revised List

Sorry but that list was wrong for so many reasons.  Let's try again.

Ohio State: The serpent in the garden of Eden who convinces recruits that if they show up in Columbus they will be like God but instead it leads to total distruction. We later find out that this is none other than the enemy of all that is good and true in the world.

Penn State: Pharaoh and the Egyptians.  While their ways have in the past proved to be successful as they have swelled in power and wealth. Thieir stubborness has lead to be their downfall.  After seeing ten other plagues unleashed on them they still remain hard-hearted and refuse to change.

Purdue: Baalam. The only reason he gets mentioned is sometimes his ass talks for him. 

Minnesota: Laban.  Once rich and proud with beautiful daughters (1950's football).  Jacob (the rest of the big ten) has come and taken his daughters and all their best goats.  Now they are left a shell of what they used to be.

Indiana:  The lepers.  They are harmless and in need of healing. Often not considered part of the community.

Iowa:  Haman.  The king's right hand man in the book of Esther.  This guy has the typical, "little-man syndrome."  He stakes his life and actualization on the backhanded anhilation of others instead of cementing an identity for himself.  Ultimatly, he has to accept a fate he thought he was giving the ones he was trying to kill.

Michigan State: Ahab.  Usually bossed around and spineless, however also has a flair for  crime like stealing vinyards, and murdering prophets.  Secretly wishes he had God's favor like Elijah.

Nebraska: Ruth.  Has no one to legitimize her and take care of her when those around her die (most of the big 12).  Then she finds a new land, a new people, and a new sense of self.

Wisconsin:  Goliath.  Also a Philistine but deserves a catagory all his own.  A big lumbering bully who ravages the region for a time then is put in his place by a kid with a slingshot (TCU anyone).

Illinois:  Harod Agrippa. He can't hold together the bit of the kingdom he has been given by his father and now, even though he has resources at his fingertips (decent recruits) finds himself being eaten alive by worms. 

Northwestern: The Philistines. A sea-fearing, troublesome people who cause a bit of ruckus here and there but mostly find themselves beaten by other regional powers.

Michigan: Elijah.  Often convinced they are the only one left with morals and logic, they press on to help the wayward kingdom restore justice and goodness to the land in the name of the LORD.

Figures that "MGoReverend" would have the final say on the topic.  After I read the Michigan description of the OP as well as the phrase "Sparty homer bias" my will to click on the link evaporated into thin air.  But you sir have broken the code, and told the true story of the Promised Land the way it was meant to be told.  +1, Rev.  +1!

Amen, brother

Although I'm partial to Michigan State as Moses, who never reaches the Promised Land; Ohio State as the plague of locusts, Moloch, and the Romans who destroyed the Temple (combined); and Michigan as the people of the book--the Torah of rabbis Crisler, Yost, and Schembechler--as the Vengeance of the Lord, and as as the Resurrection and the Light.

(we really need Tom Lehrer for this thread)
