So who’s a Cinderella team, and who isn’t? Can we decide on what “Cinderella team” actually means? I humbly submit my list of criteria. Constructive criticism is welcome.
What Is A Cinderella Team, Exactly?
↵- Butler is a Cinderella team.
- Tennessee is a Cinderella team.
- Kansas State is a Cinderella team.
- Every team is a Cinderella team.
- You are a Cinderella team; I am a Cinderella team.
- Everyone you have ever met, with the possible exception of your mailman, is a Cinderella team.
- Your mailman is a Cinderella team if he/she is not Kansas.
- HKG-4366, a meteor that NASA reports is within 100 light-years of object (119951) 2002 KX14*, is a Cinderella team.
- Your roommate is not a Cinderella team until he gets his stupid drum kit out of the living room!
- Per the law of identity, a Cinderella team is a Cinderella team.
↵Of course, this list is not exhaustive. Here’s a handy formula: the number of teams you should name Cinderella is n +1, in which n represents the number of teams you have already named Cinderella.
