I love the BCS

This will be the most controversial thing I ever post here, but I love the BCS. There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth that Texas has passed USC in the BCS this week. I love it.

First, I have to say that I generally do not like college sports. Anyone who tells you that there is more passion or honesty or genuine-ness in college sports is full of shit. Unless they are talking about Division III women’s archery. And even then, half of them are probably wacked out on roids. College sports is based on cheating. The fact that everyone cheats does not make it all better, it makes it 1,000 times worse. The best part are the ESPN asshats who go on and on about this coach and that program (who are all cheating). They never end fellating these coaches. Then once a year, SI will put something out showing how this great coach graduates like 5% of his players. College sports is just pro sports, but the players get paid less.

The big reason why I love the BCS is that everyone hates it. And if everyone hates it, there must be something good about it. I love how everyone’s panties get in a bunch because “there needs to be a national champion” or “the champion needs to be determined on the field” Why? What the fuck does it matter? Who won the Super Bowl in 2002? Does it matter? Players smacking around their wives – that matters, players killing people driving drunk – that matters, douchebag owners extorting money from the local communities for stadiums – that matters. Who won some championship – makes no difference to anyone but the participants. So why so much ink on the BCS and nothing on all this other stuff?

More to come.
