Thoughts on Yesterday’s Games
I’m done listening to people say “Hawaii didn’t belong in a BCS game” because they got ravaged by Georgia. Really? So you’re telling me that a team goes undefeated doesn’t belong in one of the BCS games because they aren’t from a major conference? Really? Especially after what Boise State did last year? Give me a break. Hawaii probably couldn’t beat Georgia regardless of whether the Bulldogs were having a good game or a bad game. But the fact of the matter is that Georgia was thought by MANY to be the best team in the country at this point in the season. Georgia would have punished the majority of teams who played in any of the bowls. You can’t sit here today and say that Hawaii didn’t belong because they lost to a powerhouse. If you believe that, then say flat out that you don’t want any teams that are not from the SEC, Big Ten or Big 12 in the BCS games. Don’t be a hypocrite and say “Wow, Boise St. was a great story last year” and turnaround and say “Hawaii doesn’t belong”. You have got to give these smaller schools an opportunity to prove themselves when they earn it. Hawaii earned their right to an opportunity by winning all of their games. What more could they have done? Stop holding the smaller schools that DESERVE a chance down.
Urban Meyer is a prick. I can’t stand him, never could, never will. Letting his Florida boys jump around midfield before the game was not only disrespectful to the opponent, but disrespectful to the game. Act like you’ve been there before and show a little class. And if you’re going to act like a Terrell Owens-like-jerk, at least back it up with a win. I’m glad Michigan beat that ass.
USC is NOT the best team in the country. I am so disgusted with the love USC is getting by everyone. Yes, they may be playing the best football RIGHT NOW. I agree with that. That doesn’t mean you should be in the national title game. The football season doesn’t start in the last week of November. You have to play the best football for the entire season to be a national title candidate. Losing to Stanford means that you were not that. End of story. I don’t give a rat’s ass how good they’re playing right now. You know who else is playing really good right now? Georgia. Virginia Tech. Even Michigan. They’re not in the title game and don’t deserve to be because they didn’t do it consistently over the entire season. Just because its USC and Pete Carroll is a loveable guy doesn’t mean you hold them to a different standard.
