Yay football

If you're not into college football, you might just want to skip this one. :) Or read it and start watching, 'cause you're missing out!
  • Weirdest season ever. Who would have thought H@waii would be the only undefeated team at the end of the regular season?!
  • Courtney, I am so glad Le$ Mi.les is staying at L$U instead of leaving to coach at Michigan. My repulsion for him makes it all too perfect that he's staying at L$U for a second year, since I like the school about as much as I like him. Since he's not going to Michigan, I can still pull for the Wolverines and see your cute game day pictures with Kyle and still enjoy them!
  • The Big XII cha.mpionship game last weekend? Awesome.
  • The bowl choices? Thumbs down. See, it all goes back to the fact that the BCS hates the Big XII. Proof? Here you go:
    • When we played Okl@homa St@te Thanksgiving weekend, we were ranked 10. Yes, they were unranked, but rivalries are literally a whole different ballgame, no matter what rankings the teams enter with. Three teams ranked ahead of us (#1 L$U, #2 Kansas, #9 Oregon) lost that weekend. We killed Okl@homa St@te that Saturday. We moved up one measly ranking. Yeah.
    • If we had entered the Big XII Cha.mpionship with a more appropriate ranking, we would have gone into the bowl selections ranked No. 3 or even 2. (I realize No. 4 is still an awesome ranking, but I think we're better than WVU.)
    • Then, we would get to go to the national championship and play Oh!o State. That would have been so much fun! I wouldn't have even cared if we won. Just going and playing them would have been a blast.
  • This writer is a genius.
  • The Georg!a coach is stupid. Seriously stupid. If you watched the bowl selections, surely you agree with me. The BCS has Georg!a ranked 5, which is a really generous ranking. When the coach found out they had been "passed up" for the national championship, the interviewer asked the coach his thoughts. He said he thought that if the BCS was going to require that you win your division to play in the national championship, then the rules should be changed to clearly state that.
    • OK, that would be swell if Georg!a had actually been invited to play in their conference championship!!! The Bulldog$ were the third-ranked team in its conference. A team that can't even make it to its own conference championship has no right to play in the national championship.
    • The sports reporter said at the end of his interview that the Georg!a coach had voted Ohio St@te No. 1 and Georg!a No. 2 in his coach's poll. That alone is proof he needs his head examined.
  • Even though I wish things had worked out a little differently for OU, the team to really get the shaft was Missouri. They finished the season ranked No. 6, and they're the only team in the top 10 not going to a bowl game. Kansas, who finished No. 8, is playing in the Cotton Bowl.
The BCS sure can get frustrating, but it's still a blast to watch the games and keep up with my team!

No wait, MU did get a bowl game....they are playing in the Cotton Bowl. KU is playing in the Orange Bowl, a BCS bowl, even though they were ranked lower than MU. This system just sucks.

The BCS is everything that is wrong with the world.

I hate them. They ruined everything to make a quick buck. Yuck! (Did you notice that OK is #3 in every other poll in ESPN.com!)

And yes! I agree about Les Miles. Double Yuck!!!

And this season? I'm just gonna pretend it didn't happen.
