Upset much?

And that's why we watch college football, ladies and gentlemen. Upsets. Underdogs. Watching the mighty fall. But this year has been more exciting than most.

Michigan v. Appalachian State, anyone?

I stayed up late last night watching the LSU v. Florida game, then I finally went to bed when I realized that, since they're both equally distasteful in my book, I really didn't care who won. Were Spurrier still at Florida, that would tip the scales pretty far in the Gators favor on the ick-o-meter, but alas, I'm relegated to rooting against the Gamecocks now.

Speaking of disliked visor-wearing coaches and "big" games that I found it hard to pick someone to root for... I also wasted a few hours watching OU v. Texas. How can any self-respecting Razorback fan cheer for either of these teams? Not only are they vastly overrated (see Colorado and Kansas State), but their fans are fanatical to the point of castration. I'm so sick of hearing SEC v. Big XII comparisons, too. Anyone remember Jason White? I'm pretty sure he's now delivering furniture for his uncle, not playing in the NFL.

And the much-overhyped USC Trojans got beat by Stanford. Stanford... where your SAT score is more important than your 40 time. How many professional football players went to Stanford? How many Heisman trophy winners have they had?

So it will be a case of fruitbasket turnover in the rankings again. And the Hogs will still be left out because they barely got by the lowly Chattanooga Mocs (what the heck is a Moc?). And they suck.

Whose bandwagon should we jump on now?!?

Arkansas SUX - NUTT SUX

I cant believe you haven't had an entry on who the next head Hog will be!

Believe it or not, there are so many I would rather have than NUTTless (AKA Dork) that I can't decide. (we're not going to get Jimmy or any of the big name guys but maybe we can get a good young coach)

Yeah, I cracked that code. I assumed Jen wouldn't say NUTT SUX....

haha. the mystery over what the hell a moc is got me so intrigued that i had to look it up during the game. they were actually the mocassins (yes, the shoes) for a while, but then they adopted a native american mascot that was later deemed discriminatory. now they are named after "scrappy", which is a mockingbird that evidently drives a train and wears an engineers hat for some reason.

ok, now i'm tired.
