Can it really be true?
April, over at Gofahne Road, one of my most favoritest people in the whole universe sent me THIS ARTICLE yesterday. And my day was made.
I’m going to assume you’ve clicked and read it and are now ready to discuss. Discuss!
Oh wait. This is my blog. I get to discuss. You have to wait for the comments section. Hahahahahahaha! I’m drunk with power.
First, I’m going to entertain you with my feelings about politicians. Don’t worry. It won’t take long. Politicians suck. Got it? So while I did like listening to Obama during the campaign and all that, I was well aware that at the end of the day, no matter how great he made things sound, he was still a politician. Which means that it doesn’t really matter if he wants to change the world because there will be some NASTY road blocks in his way and he has to try to make everyone as happy as possible, blah blah blah.
Suffice to say, I’m realistic about this kind of thing, even if I often sound more idealistic and wish for easy change.
My favorite thing that Obama said throughout the campaign? That he thought there should be a playoff system in place in college football.
Now, realistically, I could give a SHIT about college football. I went to a college where football once ruled the school; in the years I was there, it was more of a joke. I grew up in Tennessee, so most of my family either bleeds (hideously bright) orange or is sadly disappointed by Vanderbilt every year. And while I do love me some (REAL) UT football, I never really much got into the whole thing.
Here’s what I do know: I hate University of Texas football (sorry Mary, but it’s truth), pretty much anyone from Texas A&M can kiss my ass (that includes their football team), and I’m from Tennessee. This means I can’t really like Arkansas (because really…who would? Sorry April), Georgia, or Alabama. But I will always root for the SEC over anyone else…even Alabama.
Oh, and on the off-chance they ever cross my path, USC can suck it.
Not that I’m opinionated or whatever. Obviously. But mostly, I can’t get into college football because What. The. FUCK. BCS? Now, instead of football, college football has been reduced to style points and votes and is…complete bullshit. No one can ever really know who the best team is because everything is so fucked the fuck up.
And now…the BCS is possibly going under investigation for violating anti-trust laws?!? That is GENIUS. I still think things are going to be complicated and messy, but it seems that FINALLY enough of America has gotten pissed off to actually force some action. It’s ABOUT TIME.
College football, I can tell you this. You get me a 16 team playoff, or some form of playoff that doesn’t leave out the little guy, and you will have yourself another fan. I will watch. I will not laugh at you. I will no longer claim that you’re full of shit.

I agree with this post in it’s entirety, even the part when you said the crap about Arkansas. I’m still ashamed myself sometimes. This is some politicking I could get behind!

Which USC? South Carolina or Southern Cal? Just wondering. The BCS deserves whatever it gets. Oh, and Texas does indeed suck. Real big ones.

SoCal. There’s no reason to ever say South Caroline when I could say “Cocks!”

I would really like to share a comment but I know nothing about football, the collegiate football playoff system or, really, sports. But I like the whole “include the little guy!” thing.
Oh hey, look at that!

The BCS should be placed on Double Secret Probation.
