I'm big on lists. Top 10 this, Top Ten that. Especially in sports, you need a list.
So I get this link from a friend about two fat white guys twirling their shirts after their college teams had won a big game. First of all the video footage is a whole lot funnier than anything I could type. And the fact that 5,000 some people voted for their favorite Fat Guy Twirling his shirt is even funnier.
The point of this blog hit me as I was watching the Fat Guy from NC State twirl his shirt. That guy climbed up on a wall to twirl his shirt after NC State beat Florida State. Attention all pollsters, it is not the 1990's and Florida State is not a Top 10 team. They don't have Warick Dunn or Peter Warick anymore. Heck, there are only 12 NFL players ever named Peter - that oughta be your first clue. Florida State is the new Notre Dame. Remember how Notre Dame would be rated 8th every year. Like from 1995 to 2010. Then they'd get beat by Boston College or Stanford at home? Well, Florida State loses to some ACC team every year while rated somewhere in the T25. This year was worse, they were in the (haha) T5!!!!
Florida State is a fraud.
Speaking of frauds, Penn State simply hasn't been good since 1994 when they finished second in the year end poll. Sorry, PSU, the environment at your stadium is the best in the nation...but your team is living in the (checkered) past. Good luck in the rebuilding process. I am truly cheering for a revival.
Texas A and M, the 12th man? These guys could play with 13 for all I care...they'd still find a way to lose to mediocre teams. Sheesh, to make matters worse, they mortgaged their hatred for Texas to play in the SEC. Not only are they bad, but now they are stupid, too.
UCLA - holy smokes, if I had to rank these teams, the Bruins would be at or near the top. If UCLA beats a BCS team in the first 3 games of the year - it is the pollsters duty to rank them in the T25. I swear, they sneak in there about every other year and then they finish .500 or below in the PAC10/12.
VA Tech – An over rated list wouldn't be complete without an ACC team (or two) being listed. If I hear "Beamer Ball" one more time, I may list the WNBA as my favorite past time. Blocking a punt was not invented by Frank Beamer. VA Tech consistently under achieves.
NOTRE DAME - the time has come for our annual "this coach has turned them around" moment. The domers, or as I like to call them the "Dumbers" have beaten exactly no one. Oh wait, they beat Michigan. Michigan got beat by 167 by Alabama (well I assume they lost by that much because they allowed 40 some points in the first 3 minutes of regulation). As stated above, this house of cards will crumble - at Oklahoma, at BC and at USC equals more of the same from the Dumbers.
