Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 Yeah fuck you. Let's just write two very good teams off because some biased writer didn't vote for them while a computer with a very specific unbias formula decided who deserves to be there. Those commentators can kiss my ass. BWAHAHAHAHA. The formula may be a lot of things, but unbiased isn't one of them: - Including the writers' and coaches' polls introduces human bias. - Including the computer polls introduces the bias of each programmer's idea of what constitutes a good football team. - Including strength of schedule is incredibly biased against the smaller conference teams who can never play a good enough schedule to make it into the BCS top 6. The only unbiased (or least biased) solution is to implement a playoff and let the best teams settle it on the field. And then there will be a controversy that the teams chosen for the playoffs aren't deserving. And who belongs there. I'm just waiting for the people to say after the Sugar Bowl "Well here's OU/LSU......THEY AREN'T THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! FUCK BOTH THESE TEAMS! LET ME SUCK USC'S COCK SOME MORE!"

Wouldn't it be funny if the game on Sunday actually ended up meaning nothing? Ummm........no...........the coaches can't vote for #1. The #1 spot on the ballot isn't there on the final ballot........they don't have a choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 But the Sugar Bowl winner is going down in the books. And so is USC. That's the "co" in co-national champions. As for Keith, he's a Pac 10 announcer. It doesn't surprise me a bit that he'd favour USC some in his commentary. I didn't get all the "OMG USC R00LZ OU DR00LZ" in the commentary that you picked up, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was taking shots at Michigan and then he was just basically writing off both OU and LSU as if they were both bottom ranked teams. Now I'm getting pissed for LSU fans. Everyone's writing them off in the process of writing off the Sugar Bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The #9 or #17 team wouldn't have nearly the beef that the #3 team would (DOES, this year and 3 of the past 4). The controversy would be non-existant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 I love how they always say "Bobby Bowden: The Division I-A coach with the most victories," yet they never say "Phillip Fulmer: Division I-A's winningest coach with an .850 winning percentage over the last 10+ years." I think USC is #2 behind whoever wins the Sugar Bowl, to be dead honest. OU and LSU is like Rocky/Drago from Rocky IV now (for those keeping score, Drago is OU) after all the hype and shit-talking, and I really feel the winner of that game will be the best in the country.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 The people's national title huh? Well I'm a person and I'm recognizing the winner of the LSU/OU game the national champion. Man people are going to sound stupid in commentary if they're going "Well OU/LSU isn't really the national champion. USC is!" When we do 2004 Sports Year in Review "And we saw our 2004 National Champions crowned! USC! Oh? OU/LSU? Yeah they supposedly won the title...." I mean come on LSU fans. Aren't you pissed your team is getting written off by everyone here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 Yep. If it had been a Michigan blowout, I wouldn't have put it past the writers to elevate Michigan to #1. Which, as a die-hard fan of the maize and blue, would have made me absolutely sick. There is no way this team, which lost both a downer to Oregon and a stinker to Iowa, and then almost got beat by Minnesota, deserves even a sniff of the national championship as long as there are still other top 5 teams with 1 loss. It would have been rewarding a team who underachieved greatly (Michigan should have gone undefeated with the lineup they fielded this year) so that the writers could play politics.

How many god damn times does he HAVE to miss possible game winning field goals vs Miami before HE STOPS TRYING THEM. Then again, Chris Rix looked like pure crap again. Pathetic, he could be an amazing quarterback if he could pull his head out of his ass in the games vs Miami. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
