AND TO HELL WITH WAR EAGLES!
Glory glory bitches. I don't know how Richt used his witchcraft to squeeze the 72' dolphins into those red and white uniforms, and I don't give a shit. Just when you thought the dawgs had nothing left and we were on pace for a 6 out of 7 loseout which included Vanderbilt and Kentucky, we actually acted like a real football team, playing 4 quarters of oldschool ball that kept one of the best quarterbacks in the league to 41 yards passing and 4 count em' 4 interceptions. Stafford's finally acting like a leader and besides his two cough-ups, one of which he really couldn't have helped, played a flawless game. Tra Battle has earned himself a big juicy filet mignon on my dime as well for making Brandon Cox have a game that will more than likely haunt him for the rest of his collegiate career. 37 to 15?! thirty fucking seven to fifteen?!?! That's not a loss, Tommy...that's a cry for help.
It seemed like the weekend for underdogs, with Rutgers pulling an amazing 2nd half comeback on the 3rd ranked Louisville Cardinals, and then within minutes being told that the conference they were a part of, the same conference where Miami was never questioned for their national championship capabilities not too long ago, AND where two possible national champions were being groomed in Louisville and West Virginia, wasn't strong enough and therefore they didn't deserve to be in the big dance. If Mark May and Corso could remove their air tight lips from the balls of Pete Carroll and Bobby Bowden then they might notice that Rutgers has played out of conference teams that were just as terrible as those of their counterparts in WV and Louisville (Yeah I know Louisville laid the wood to Miami but even our italian colleague would agree that Miami is looking more and more like they could get their ass handed to them by the team from Little Giants), two teams that they both said fully deserved the shot at that ridiculous football/punchbowl trophy, AND are in the process (with a win in the coming weeks) of laying to rest the National Championship hopes of two top 10 teams. I'd put my money on the boys from New Jersey against Texas (the team everyone was batting their eyelashes at and then proceeded to get their ass kicked by Kent State I think it was), Florida (a team that pulled a victory over South Carolina at the swamp by the skin of their teeth), and Cal (another team everyone was singing the praises of that got upset by a nobody).
But, if i had to choose anyone team that looks like they deserve a bid with the way their playing, it would have to be Arkansas. OF COURSE i'm biased here and no amount of arguing could ever convince me that there's a conference out there that even closely resembles the absolute bloodbath that the SEC becomes year in and year out. Arkansas proved they can win without their freshman QB phenom and McFadden is looking like what Adrian Peterson was supposed to be for the last 12 years. Not to mention Mr. McFadden put on a CLINIC against a legit Tennessee squad (hold on...i think i just vomited in my mouth a little...). I think this team takes it to LSU, and then beats the piss out of that brainfreeze of a team that is Florida right now. Let's be real, USC doesn't beat Cal, Notre Dame doesn't beat USC, Cal-Texas-Auburn-Louisville are out of the race, what the hell. It's time teams like Arkansas and Rutgers got a little respect. And hell it's not like it really matters anyway. The way Michigan and Ohio State are playing right now noone's going to beat whoever walks away from that shootout. This seems to ring very similar to the talk in the NCAA Basketball Tourney last year where everyone stomped all over George Mason until they made it into the Final Four at which time they all started getting giggly like little school girl bitches about the prospect that they might actually make it. You know chances are that Rutgers wouldn't stand a shot in hell in the championship but that's not the point. The point here is that I'm sick of cocky little fucks like Mark May always finding a way to piss on any feel-good story that happens in college football. I wish Lou Holtz would jam those fruity glasses of Mark's right down his smug little throat. Now I'm aware old glory teams like Texas and Florida pull in more money for the powers that be in the BCS but it's about time that we started recognizing a good team when we see one, and Rutgers deserves AT LEAST that much respect this year fellas. Go Scarlet Knights!
And I'm out...bitches.
