The Square Life

Sorry I have been slacking lately. I just wanted to let you know that I am working on the most comprehensive article about the BYU/Utah rivalry that has ever been dreamt possible. Well, it won’t be that good. But I will actually try.

But for now . . . 

Top Ten Things Overheard from College Football Fans Relating to the BCS: 

10) “I think the Bull Crap Series, er, I mean Busted Championship Series, er, I mean Broken Corporate Scheme—what is it called?”

 

9) “At least it is more fair than the elections held in Nazi Germany.”

 

8) “If they actually get a playoff, can we burn all semblance of the BCS so that, generations from now, they don’t look back at the BCS and assume we were all a bunch of idiots for ever allowing it.”

 

7) “I hope the computers noticed how charged up our opponent was for that game. Is there a program for that?”

 

6) “Run up the score! No! No! Don’t take a knee! You’re only up thirty!”

 

5) “Wait—you’re being serious? The Big East really has an automatic bid?”

 

4) “It’s too bad the Mountain West isn’t as strong as we thought they were. Once they started playing each other, they started losing games.”

 

3) “Did you hear they’re going to hire George Bush to run the BCS after his term ends? Yeah, they’re dying to get the approval ratings he has.”

 

2) “Frankly, any system that forces you to cheer for your archrival is messed up. That’s like being happy that a Socialist just became the leader of your democratic nation . . . (we don’t have the rest of this quote since the fan that gave it mysteriously disappeared midsentence)

 1) “College football playoffs? No way that would work! Look at March Madness. It’s as boring as it gets. This system works.”
