SNC and NCAA Football??

I was reading college football when I came across this SNC reference.  I have to admit, I wasn't expecting it!  But, I thought I'd share :)

 

"1. I'm not one to toss bouquets (of roses, in this case) at conference commissioners, but you have to give credit to the Big Ten's Jim Delany. Only last December did we first learn that the Big Ten was looking to expand in 18 months. Now, after a gestation period of half that time, the conference has added a most formidable new member (Nebraska ... this would be akin to a cappella masters Straight No Chaser -- Indiana alums, mind you -- adding Freddie Mercury), a lucrative championship game and a pair of divisions that for the most part preserve the spirit and tradition of the conference. For the most part (see No. 2). It's the type of Trading Spaces-like home renovation that would have perked up an already perky Paige Davis."

    I may not understand the analagy myself as I don't know football....but the way I read it is that the writer of the article in using this analagy, acknowledge that SNC is already amazing and Freddie Mercury thrown in to the mix would be even better.
    Now Freddie Mercury had amazing talent, but MY SNC can stand alone on their own talents and personalities, thank you very much.
    Thanks for sharing this Klancy, it is good to see our guys making it into the spotlight, even if I disagree with how the writers used their name

    Don't really get the analogy, but sure - great to see the guys' names come up in the sports section!

    Yes, a great find! And...don't they open with a Queen tune in the "Live in New York" show?
