Don't listen to ESPN

I'm tired of the garbage that ESPN/ABC is spitting out about the BCS. I saw the Game Day crew going on about how this was such a great set of bowl matchups, and Musberger saying how great the Paterno/Bowden matchup is (FSU is 8-4 remember). They're obviously doing everything they can to entice viewers to watch. Now Pat Forde adds this column about how the "retro look" of the bowls:
Notre Dame-Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl offers an embarrassment of tradition and an enticing matchup of irresistible force against immovable object. We feel Oregon's pain -- and, by extension, the Pacific-10's, which was muscled out of a second BCS bid for a second straight year -- but any chance to put these two Cadillac programs together is good for college football.
"embarrasment of tradition," "good for college football?" Are you kidding me??!! Why can't things be decided on the field like every other level of college football and most other sports. The BCS and bowl system turns football into figure skating where judges already know who they're going to pick before the performance is over (I'm not much of a figure skating fan if you can tell).

I just saw this site. Man the BCS is horrible!

It looks like you gave up the fight against the Bad 'B' 2 years ago. You should pick it back up, we need fighters against this system.

The BCS system is a tragedy. I am not a Hawaii fan, but any so called championship game that does not include the only undefeated team has no credibility. Did we not learn anything from Boise State last year? BCS, Stop stealing from our young men.

You really should keep this site up, only once a year you'd have to maintain, and it's a guarantee every year you'd have something to talk about...Like how TCU beat the same head-to-head competitor (Wyoming) by 4 more points than Texas did, and the only other comparison was BYU-Oklahoma-Texas...the decisions between these two teams came down to 4 points (both BYU and Texas barely beat OU), but TCU beat BYU embarassingly 41-7. This is one of the biggest blunders in the history of BCS madness.
