The Victors
I am belatedly catching up on the "Countdown to Kickoff" videos: Go Blue!-link. Three weeks & a day 'til the most wonderful time of the year, the college football season. Woo hoo!

I'm having difficulty keeping straight which half-dozen of the Big Ten (Twelve) are "Leaders" & which half-dozen are "Legends," (Horrible, horrible divisional names, those.) but methinks it will be easier once we get into the meat of conference play. I remain outraged that Nebraska was added as the twelfth school in the increasingly inaccurately named Big Ten; a twelfth member is fine, but did it have to be Nebraska? Nebraska?! Those blackguards cheat as a matter of course. The verdammt Cornhuskers wouldn't recognize sportsmanship if they brained an old lady with it so as to steal her Social Security cheque. Nebraska? Nebraska?! The same Nebraska that openly cheats? Yes, that Nebraska. What's the matter, Big Ten commissioners, the S.M.U. teams of the '80s weren't available to be the twelfth team in the Big Ten? *grumble grumble*

Go Blue!
