AARGH

So, did we miss anything while the ACTUAL F'ING SEASON WAS GOING ON?

I would like to have a great excuse for not posting, like maybe my arms were torn off in a farming accident or there is no longer internet access in the midwest, but I'm actually just lazy.

Let me recap the past several months in life and football:
(1) Detroit Lions...as awesome as ever
(2) Phil Fulmer...dead
(3) Ron Prince...dead
(4) Ty Willingham...dead
(5) Iowa - gloriously saved the Big 10 from ridicule
(6) Oregon State beat USC...shocking chokejob (not).
(7) there was some sort of election thingy
(8) the new TV season sucks until Lost and 24 come back.
(9) Everyone loves Mike Leach but forgets that is is certifiably insane.

Listen, I don't give a shit who "is playing the best football in the country right now" so go shove that argument straight up your ass. That's a playoff thought. In college, the only thing that matters is who can get through the season without losing so I don't give a crap that Oklahoma is tearing up their opponents or if Florida is destroying everything in its path. You lost, suck it up, come back next year. Oklahoma has a much better argument to the BCS championship game anyway. A loss to Texas at a neutral field is approximately eleventy billion times better than losing to Ole Miss at home. Chomp, Chomp.

Finally, one last rant. The local fishwrap (look, I'm edgy, I used a Jim Rome term) had its "local college basketball preview." Since I am located in Cincinnati, OHIO, I think I have a good handle on what teams would be considered local. Here are the teams they previewed:

(1) University of Cincinnati - obvious, good choice
(2) Xavier - obvious, another good choice
(3) Miami (OH) - very close to Cincinnati, a third good choice
(4) University of Kentucky - ummm...its 81 miles away, but there are a lot of UK fans in the region so I'll let it slide.
(5) Indiana - are you fucking kidding me??? What the fuck is wrong with you jerkwads? Its a 126 miles by car...to INDIANA. Its 105 miles to Columbus, which if you didn't know is in the same state as Cincinnati and home to Ohio State. Screw you, Cincinnati Enquirer.
