Fourteen SEC teams in one NCAA? Talk about a septic tank! Texas was a First Four flush. Missouri hated the Drake. Georgia got overrun, torched and sent off howling by William Gonzaga Sherman. Mississippi State had to Baylor out. Vandy was no dandy. Okla went homa. Ole Miss almost really did. Even Big Bad Bama got scared by Little Bobby Morris.
And all that mess was just their 8-6 first round, while the Big Ten was going 8-0.
So much for “SEC dominance,” hyped ad nauseum all year. Besides, a major share of the SEC’s current superstructure was built on the shoulders of immense immigrants, the best of whom arrived fully developed from inside the grand ole Big Ten.
Standing tallest was the Nigerian Disconnection, as Rutgers star center Clifford Omoruyi was nabbed by Alabama while Ohio State’s Felix Okpara got hijacked by Tennessee, each taking a veteran post presence while killing their former teams, otherwise laden with star guards.
Texas A&M adopted a big Pharrel cat for its third-leading scorer, go-pher-ing Payne out of his Minnesota homeland, while C.J. Wilcher gave the Aggies a steady Nebraska farm hand. Missouri’s rise from the Misery of a winless SEC season got a lift from Iowa floor general Tony Perkins, an Indy native who became their No. 5 scorer, joining iu castaway and No. 3 scorer Tamar Bates.
And veteran A.J. Hoggard left the green-space security of the Izzone to raise the house that Vander bilt as one of 10 transfers there. No place to be a ball Hogg.
The SEC office belongs on Wall Street, if not Ellis Island. And that inflated junk stock league owes our Big exporters a nice Big tariff.
