Things That Continue to Suck

Big 10 football. Please, no more Fuckeyes in the championship game. Let's see, they didn't play one team (before yesterday) with fewer than 4 losses. They played a bunch of cupcakes out of conference (all you need to know is two of them were MAC teams). They lost to Illinois at home. (Like Ohio State, Illinois was crushed in their bowl game.) Seeing as they were blown out last year, it's no surprise (with an even lesser quality team) they were blown out this year.

Speaking of awful... in case you missed it, a MAC team (Blowing Green) lost 63-7 in their bowl game. And they lost to TULSA! It was the largest margin of victory in bowl history, topping Alabama's 61-6 win over Syracuse in the 1953 Orange Bowl (who could forget dat one?).

And you know there are at least twice as many bowl games than there should be when the Big 10 are in eight of them and the MAC are in three of them. And they were a combined 3-8.

How were the Big 10 in 8 bowl games and da 'Cats weren't in one? Not dat they would have helped, I believe they have gone the longest since their last bowl game win (1949 - who could forget dat one?).

Back to da Blow Crappiness Suckfests, so long as there are 100+ teams in Division 1a, oh, sorry, the Bowl Subdivision, there will never, EVER be a foolproof way to pick a national champ. Some team is always gonna phokk it up. So either have playoffs or restore the old Bowl system, and dream matchups be damned.

The MAC couldn't get into a bowl when they were good. Now they suck and everyone gets in.

If I had time, I would amaze you with the stat of the run the MAC went on in the late 90s/early naughts when they used to usually win.

They suck in basketball now too.
