underperforming team in the postseason, which is just another way of saying they are the most consistently overrated team when being placed in the postseason.

Also, they have such cultural power that a future criminal who played one down for them has his own major hollywood movie. I like the movie fine, but having the professional mythmakers jump on really amps up the hype.

Love the troll by your friend about SMU. I know sometimes people don't pay attention, but I think these big-time football fans sometimes deliberately mess up conferences and facts to get a rise out of you. (We had the story of a Tennessee fan earlier who said something about BYU being in the Big Sky Conference — yet another perfect troll, possibly unintentional.) Probably we need to improve public awareness of our brand, but watch for trolls.

I am trying to think of a good return troll. Maybe confuse them with Indiana. "Amazing to have your first undefeated season in years. I wonder if you can keep it up when you play Ohio State. Is that one in Bloomington or Columbus this year?"

Maybe there is something about Manti T'eo? (I don't want to be mean: I think the situation was sensitive and he is one of our own in some way.)
