BCS

Week nine is now in the books and the discussion in college football turns to one thing and one thing only. It isn't the season reaching the midway point, or the amazing games around the corner, or the ones recently witnessed. Instead, it is dominated by talk of a computer.
USC Fan with Brilliant Sign     The Buckeyes took the national stage once again last Saturday in hopes of redeeming themselves after horrific beat downs to Florida by 45, and LSU by 38 in the two previous BCS National Championship Games. Yet, Ohio State proved once again their incredible knack for embarrassing themselves on the national stage by being run out of the L.A Coliseum by the #1 ranked Trojans of USC. The only thing more embarrassing than the effort put out by the Bucks is the blatant disregard of fashion taste by the Buckeye fans.


      With so many violations witnessed, I will only highlight some of the most egregious fashion faux pas.

John Adams has never won an award for his writing, but he is a former collegiate athlete for a small college where everyone makes the team.  Currently, he is a grad student at the University of Southern California studying the archaic form called, Print Journalism.  John points to Flutie's Hail Mary as the birth of his love for college football, and Lloyd Carr's tenure at Michigan as the beginning of his love of strong drink.

            Even if the Trojans of Southern California went undefeated this football season and survived the mighty Beavers of Oregon State, they still should not be in the National Championship game because the anemic Pac-10 conference.  BUT before you cast stones at the BCS (okay, cast away at that ridiculous system) or the Pac-10, realize the blame lies solely on the shoulders of Pete Carroll for why the conference has deteriorated.
