a sure sign of spring getting closer is the annual rite of 'the big ten is dominant' and teams x, y, and z are frontrunners for the title. except that's bogus. what are we now, 2 decades from that hypefest winning it all? count me as unimpressed, or even paying serious attention, until they actually win something. anything. now, if we were in that league, then their prospects would be real, cuz, you know, 3 time winners in that 2 decade span beats hype everytime.
i like to think of them as the 'feet of clay' league, or mebbe the 'oscar mayer' league, or the 'best teams on paper' league.
