Not f****** Kansas!

Okay, last week I was like, cool, Ohio State isn't going to be in the National Championship again, where they would be throttled by LSU or Oregon or Oklahoma. Then Oregon lost to Arizona. Fine, now USC has a chance for the Pac-10 championship, and a Sugar Bowl rematch between Oklahoma and LSU for the National Championship would be fine by me. Then Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech. Fuck this shit. Not Kansas. Not fucking Kansas. Not with this guy:











No, not with Kansas as the Cinderella story. Hell, not even with Missouri as a potential Cinderella story. I wouldn't mind West Virginia being there, but it looks like the winner of next week's Kansas/Missouri game has the inside track to the BCS National Championship game. WTF!!! I like parity and upsets like the next guy, but see what happens when you root for too many upsets! You get fucked up shit like Kansas/Missouri in the title game. I just hope that LSU wins out, cause there is no way that Kansas/Missouri beats the Tigers in New Orleans. Damn, who knew, the game of the year is Kansas vs. Missouri. And coaching the Jayhawks is this guy:











Aw shit.

And even the best of teams fall when they lose their leader, the quarterback. USC lost to Oregon (that Stanford loss was inexcusable) with their backup Mark Sanchez at the helm. It happened twice this week. Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech after Sam Bradford went out with a concussion, as the Sooners fell behind 34-13 and couldn't climb out of that hole. Oregon lost to Arizona (again) after Dennis Dixon went down with a gruesome knee injury. Speaking of Arizona, third straight year the Wildcats have been mediocre to average in the season but pulls of a monumental upset. Here's Mike Stoops' work in recent years:

11/26/04 - Arizona (3-8) 34, #20 Arizona State (8-3) 27

11/05/05 - Arizona (3-6) 52, #7 UCLA (9-1) 14

11/11/06 - Arizona (5-5) 24, #8 California (8-2) 20

11/15/07 - Arizona (5-6) 34, #2 Oregon (8-2) 27

And in the last two wins, Arizona has helped USC win a share of the Pac-10 championship (assuming USC wins out this year). With Thanksgiving coming up, the Trojans should be very thankful that the Fighting Stoops beat Cal last year and Oregon this year, keeping USC's Rose Bowl hopes alive. Oh well.
