The BCS 'losing early is not as bad' debate.

/bitter fan rant engage!

Can I put it out there that if OU beats tech this weekend, and Florida ultimately ends up beating Alabama in the SEC championship, and niether lose any other games then that is your National Championship?

That seems the most likely scenario with the talking heads anyway.

In my scenario, Texas is snubbed out of the Big 12 championship and the national champions over a team they beat. This is because of the dumb Big 12 tie breaker rules. Lets use the BCS rankings to determine our Big 12 South champion... shall we have that computer from War Games make decisions about our military too?

How about something in the games, that we can all look at and agree upon and say 'ok, this sucks but they are the rule and atleast I can point to it and say blah blah blah' instead of 'the computer ranked me lower, and I don't know why /punches clown'

Lane's awesome idea that will never happen: How about point differential between the 3 head to head games of the 3 tied teams. Ex:
(I don't remember the OU UT score but i think the differential was like 10 points?)
UT beats OU by 10
Tech beats UT by 1
say Tech gets beat by 4 by OU

with my math, Texas is +9 Tech is +3 and OU is -6
atleast that gives credit to Texas's 1 point 'omg throw it to Crabtree' loss. (I did say bitter fan rant)

This also puts no emphasis on when the team losses. Why should that be a deciding factor? A team should be ranked higher because they lose early and get their shit together instead of losing late when everyone has been planning for them all year and gunning for their seat? There is no need for this debate because there are better ways of deciding the tiebreaker rules. Don't use the BCS.

Hell I would rather see a coin flip, beer pong toss off between team captains, or maybe even settled by that human sacrifice basketball game those South American indians played.

Hey, I don't spell check, proof read, check for grammar, or even care about punctuation. So.... I'm pushing publish now.

OH ITS FUCKING RANT TIME BABY

Title of link I clicked on: "Jets win, but not vs real Pats"

Now let me preface my ranting by saying that while I don't consider myself by any means a Jets fan (and I fucking hate Brett Farve's wranglers), I would rather see the Patriots' plane crash than watch them play football. Wonderful.

>Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see Tom Brady or Rodney Harrison on the field in New York's 34-31 victory on Thursday night. The Patriots were also missing their star linebacker, Adalius Thomas, who went down with what appeared to be a season-ending forearm injury last week, and starting defensive end Ty Warren, who sat out the loss to the Jets with a groin injury.

>The running corps had become such a mess that undrafted rookie BenJarvus Green-Ellis was thrust into the starting job for the last few weeks.

Nice. America really wants to read about how the Patriots couldn't overcome adversity. Get over it, every team has injuries. I'm pretty sure the 'real' Patriots lost in the superbowl to a (at the time) ridiculous underdog.

>The Patriots won't use excuses, but I'm going to do it for them.

Why? Don't we try to push out the 'No Excuses' message to the masses? The Patriots won't use excuses. G---FUCKING-Good (like Gahhh-Fucking-Good). No one wants to hear the excuses. My future children are going to grow up, read this assholes article, and come to me with something like "Daddy, I couldn't win my spelling contest because I didn't have a liver at the time." No excuses, cock!

... (article goes on breaking down the game, making the Patriots seem like an underdog) ...

>"This one ranks right up there," Favre said. "In the moment it's easy to say, but it may be at the top."
Are you serious?
In an 18-year career filled with more than 40 4th-quarter comebacks, this victory ranks at the top? No chance.

Are you serious? Taking a quote you see somewhere out of context? No chance.
He did say "In the moment it's easy to say." This is what he meant:

Guy hasn't had sex in a year.
*sex*
Girl: That was good baby
Guy: That was the best damn sex I have ever had.

I'm ending this post right now. I'm listening to Creeping Death by Metallica and the bridge is going on. DIE! BY MY HAND! I CREEP ACROSS THE LAND! KILLING FIRST BORN MAN!

I got another rant about Mel Kieper later... maybe

Embed it!

I mentioned this before to Donovan.
Great metallica song? Check.
Mastodon covering? Check.
Bad ass cover? Fuck yes.

I can only imagine how long it took them to get all the great tones they get in this song...

Unforgivably bad post about nothing of any importance

I want to start/join a classic rock band.

Here's my reasoning behind this:

• My first love is the metals probably. But I hardly ever play it because a) I've never spent the time to develop fast tempo guitar playing. b) I find rhythm playing extremely boring to practice, and metal rhythm chops aren't exactly something you just pick up. c) I love playing leads, and metal lead players.... man those guys are ACCOMPLISHED fucking guitar players. I got years to go.
  
• Most everyone likes classic rock. Or at least enough to enjoy it in a live setting. Metal is not the most popular genre around. This is a fact. It scares a lot of people.
  
• The music isn't taxing on anyone in the band really. I.E. you don't need a band full of virtuoso players.

Yeah. That is what I want to do.

Houston

God I love being a Houston fan.
Let us see what happened over the weekend for my fair city of sports domination.

Texans: L, badly
Rockets: L, badly
Dynamo: Ousted from the playoffs
Aeros: L

(we could have the Lions)
