no one cares about Ohio State, quit trying to brag. It's all about Northwestern and Boise this year

LOL you think I'm bragging?

If I wanted to brag I would've posted much better shit than this. I posted it because I thought it was pretty neat, and a helluva lot more research than I ever would've cared to do.
