I'm not sure if our football team scored more than 30 points last season

Tell that one to the Astronomy people.

It's funny because I'm missing out on the eclipse, but I'm not feeling super disappointed...hopefully I'm not getting too into theory...never! Luckily, the astro community is big and lots of involved/not involved people can come together. I'm happy at least it's for a solar eclipse and not another supermoon...

Disclaimer: I guess I am not some da-star-dly, lunatic Astronomy person, surprise!

Way simpler to just rank them here rather than trying to navigate that site. I'm ranking based on team strength and length of time, with more recent strength weighted more.

Div B:
1. Solon
2. JC Booth
3. Thomas Jefferson
4. Daniel Wright
5. Winston Churchill
6. WW-P Community
7. Meads Mill
8. Arden
9. Beckendorff
10. Marie Murphy
11. Magsig
12. Paul J .Gelinas
13. Muscatel
14. Piedmont
15. Longfellow
16. Springhouse
17. Ladue

Actually a tough call. Irmo C has one of the best runs in SO history (top 3 in 8 straight years) but it's hard to compare the early days to now. I'd probably rank them somewhere in the top 20, but probably short of the top 10. Still an intriguing sort of question.
