I picked up a Lindy's preseason magazine yesterday, and wanted to see where NU was ranked. I flipped to the "26-130" page, or whatever, and scanned the first column (which probably went to like 75 or 80), expecting to be outraged at how poorly rated NU was. Nothing in the first column. I looked again. Not there.
Now I was REALLY outraged. We're ranked over 80? Who would do such a thing? We have Thorson and JJTBC coming back! Clearly the idiots at Lindy's don't know anything. They probably got mixed up with all the Justin Jacksons and thought Clayton Thorson was pitching for the Dodgers or something.
Nothing in the second column either. Now this was weird. Where were they? I scanned both columns again. I couldn't figure it out.
I glanced at the opposite page, where the bottom of the top 25 were listed, with much bigger blurbs, and there we were - #21.
I'm so conditioned to finding us between about 30 and 55 every preseason that it hardly even crossed my mind to look in the top 25.
So yeah, it's only Lindy's and all that, but cool. We're #21!
