Herbie then picks Traitor Tech to win the Big East, thus proving that nobody’s perfect (Why do ESPN analysts always pick Virginia Tech? Does Disney own Blacksburg or something?).
Meanwhile, Trev Alberts continues his reign of idiocy and Big XII worship with this piece.
First and foremost, there will be the excitement generated by Kansas State and Oklahoma, two legitimate national championship contenders. Those are the two best teams in the nation in my mind, and it’s just too bad they will likely have to meet in the Big 12 championship game rather than the national championship game.
Sure, Oklahoma is for real. But Kansas State? Are you serious? Nothing — not Ford Mustangs, sloppy wet kisses, Bush’s pre-war intelligence on Iraq, the observation windows at the top of the Cathedral of Learning, or even Virginia Tech — is as perennially overrated as Kansas State. Every freakin’ year, they play nobody for the first half of the season, and then get promptly decapitated by either Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, or Texas A&M. Whose leg does K-State rub up against to keep getting in the top five?
No team in America is as overrated as Kansas State, no conference in America is as overrated as the Big XII, and no analyst in America has gotten so far on pretty-boy looks alone as Trev Alberts.
