Written from the deck whilst (yes, I said whilst) smoking a brisket and an Opus X:
Well, i’m back down to $1000/1000. If this were real money, I would have quit at being +600., as I said.
But, this aint real money and it is Championship Week.
I am smoking a Fuente Opus X. Insane expensive, I didn’t buy it, it was gifted by an MD I work with. I helped him through his rotation in the ER (a rare resident MD who actually asked the RNs questions, more on that later). Tabacalera A. Fuente make some insane excellent cigars. This one is just…It might be the best cigar that I have ever had.
10 minutes later…yep. Good God. Ok, I get it.
Lets mess with some ball:
At the time of writing, USC is losing the PACwhatever to Utah. This kills any chance of a team in west making it to the playoffs. Keep playing fagbollsoccer westies! Participation trophies to all yins. Like i said at the beginning of the year, the PAC? is gonna be over rated again…Oregon…just like every year. I remember the days where the UCLA v USC game was the gateway to Rose Bowl, and glory heaped upon the victors by Keith Jackson aka Plini the Elder).
It’s desolate in the football west. Sad hunks of metal of what were proud, dominating football machines are meandering in mediocrity and can’t quite get their footing, any footing, something. It’s a sad as hell day when USC or UCLA aren’t part of the End Of Year ‘Who’s the best?’
So who is the best? After what M just did to ohIo….go dot an i osu. I can’t say that I was upset by this because, to be really honest, the only people who I know who are more obnoxious and single minded than PSU fans are the Ohio State faithful. I’m a PITT guy and live half way between the two nut farms. O or M….well, I know folks who graduated from both. BUT…my great uncle was M Law…so that trumps it. Now, M has to get on the horse. They will most likely have to play SEC…GEORGIA if they get that far.
There are no participation trophies today, who gets to the playoffs is done after tonight:
9-3 Utah just crushed 11-1 USC at the time of writing, maybe USC makes the playoffs as the sad gimp from the hinterland. Probably not.
None of the Championship games matter this year because the big divisions got so big so fast the they cut them up in to two, east west, north south… Watch these inter-divisions go away after this abysmal showing.
Michigan and Ohio State are in the same group of the Big10…M gets to play some team from another group…Perdue, i think, to win the big 10. Maybe M and OSU might have to play twice, throw PSU in there…Purdue??? Purdue.
Same thing in the other groups. I can see where this divisions in leagues goes away real fast.
This is the worst Championship Saturday that I have ever seen and I have no interest in any of the games. Let’s look:
 10 Kansas State |
@
 3 TCU |
12:00 PM |
Blowout
Woops…..the line is 1.5 against the frogs? TCU covers x$600!!!
 14 LSU |
@
 1 Georgia |
4:00 PM |
18 points? this is supposed to be AN SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!
bite me
EFFF OFFF.
|
@
 2 Michigan |
8:00 PM |
8-4 Boilermakers V 12-0 Michigan for the Big 10 Championship??? the line is 17. so what.
There are other games, but what matters is the playoff picture.
Georgia, Michigan…and the also rans. I must admit, I do love watching Ohio State implode over and over again.
Maybe recruit some better people with a modicum character instead of fast hood rats. Woody Hayes would have done this differently.
College football is a wonderful thing, a day out supporting my Beloved Panthers as an undergraduate, graduate, and then as a dad with my kids and wife (also a grad) is something special. It’s the Alma Mater, the comradery, and the knowledge in your heart that those people from that other school are under educated neanderthal scum! But I digress, It’s OK that there is almost zero interest in my college football rantings here. Yinz put up with me. And that makes this all worth it.
