Cormac McCarthy's Bix XII Preview

quote:

---

Hello. My name is Cormac McCarthy. I'm a writer of some renown. I'm also a football fan.

I now live in the American southwest in the high chaparral hills of the desert. Because of this, or perhaps in spite of this fact; I've adopted the Big XII as my league. It is a good league. Teams engaged in centuries old combat. Spilling blood and viscera across the hard-scrabble plains of the Midwest and Texas and Oklahoma territories. Singular men who sling the ball to tall sculpted creatures who catch and immediately flee upfield. It is a league after my own heart.

I'm writing this preview to give you a sense of the Big XII this year. Which teams will triumph. Which teams will fall into the mud. Trampled by other worthier than them. Left to die in the ditch, alone and forgotten. Let us look.
