Once again, it was a profitable time here in this ponks column for college football as my two futures to win the conference faced off against each other. It solidified my season in the black, which is a solid result for my side job’s side job. Such is life.
The offseason has been a weird one for me though. While optimism swirls in Iowa City, I just can’t help myself with the pessimism and lack of joy the lead up to this season has brought me. But with Big Ten football less than a week away, the excitement writ large is starting to seep through my pores as I cram for the season.
