College Football....

I'm now actively rooting against the team that I was raised to love.  We need some major shake ups and I'm afraid winning 9 games a year isn't bad enough to make them happen.

Just be thankful that your team is one of the 15-20 teams that is relevant every year. It's kind of cool seeing fans rallying around the Gophers, but it's sad at the same time that 4 wins against nobodies is enough to regenerate interest in a team that hasn't been truly relevant in my lifetime. It shows just how bad the program has been, and we'll see if they can hold that fan interest when they lose games against the Big Ten. I have faith that Kill is on the right track though, and they may win a couple more games to squeak into a bowl.

The accidental sunglasses smiley made me freak out. I'm kind of dumb.

You bring up a good point.  It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.  I still  think I'd rather be a fan of a team that is decent and jumps up to have a magical season every once in a while, rather than a perennial under-performer who is ranked too high at the beginning of every year. But then again, the grass is always greener.  Also, these kind of losses make for fun sports radio around here.

I'll never understand the BCS system but I really don't understand how Georgia's loss yesterday knocks them completely out of the BCS bowl equation. How does Oklahoma jump them, and more importantly, how does Florida jump them by not playing in the championship game?

Why isn't Notre Dame penalized for taking a break when all the real teams are playing tough opponents?
