Oh please, spare me the SEC media circus. They get all this hype for talking in a hotel ballroom while we're actually building somethinng real up here. Kiffin loves the microphone more than he loves a balanced playbook, and the whole league eats it up. We don't need a week of press conferences to prove our worth. Our proof comes every Saturday in Kinnick, where we shut down overhyped offenses with a defense that actually tackles. Let them have their dog and pony show down south. We'll be busy putting in the real work, the kind that wins games in November when it's cold and windy. The Big Ten doesn't need a media tour to know who we are. They feel it every time they have to line up across from Phil Parker's unit. All that SEC chatter is just noise to cover up the fact that half those teams can't play a lick of defense. We'll see how loud they are when the pads come on.
