Now that everyone else has their mediocre, replacement-level college football awards out of the way, it’s time for the important ones to commence.
Dear reader, I give you: the 2021 Off Tackle Empire General Sherman Awards For Big Ten Football Excellence, delivered in mid-December to ensure that our highly meticulous writing staff is able to fully digest the season before delivering judgment.
That’s right, this venerable publication decided to subvert its long history of being accused of Not Even Watching The Games and do some extra film study.
We’re using the same format we used two years ago, so if you want to see just how accurate we were, feel free to revisit.
What do I ask of you? Why, simply that you take to the comments and make your final pleas, nominations, arguments, defenses, attacks, or irrelevant observations. Nominations and voting are still in progress even as you read this. Let your voice be heard!
No guarantee exists that we will use the information delivered by your voice.
