It only took a Big Ten player transferring to an SEC school, and an SEC player transferring to a Big Ten school to bring the North and South together again. Well, maybe just the SEC and Big Ten, but you catch my drift.
Perhaps no conferences like to fight for football supremacy more than the Big Ten and SEC. There are barbs in the media, stereotypes that have gone wild, and my SEC dad can beat up your Big Ten dad type of hot takes almost yearly that are a little over the top. Some might even say uneducated and a bit ridiculous.
But don’t tell that to Joe Burrow and Justin Fields. Both have been very gracious to each other through this whole Heisman parade, and just last night, after Burrow won the Heisman as expected, Fields took the time to congratulate him publicly.

Maybe there’s hope for the country yet. Maybe these two can now work on the Democrats and Republicans. Now go win that Heisman in 2020.
