I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
Fuck Florida, fuck Fox, and fuck the BCS. That selection show of theirs was like watching QVC cover the presidential election. Don't worry though, Fox has its best men on the job to announce the games, including Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, Pat Haden, Barry Alvarez, and Thom Brennaman, who described it as "an odd situation." CAN YOU FEEL THE PASSION!?!?!?!
I'd like to quickly show you a sample Top 5 ranking from one Harris Poll voter.
Larry Keech:
No. 1: Ohio State
No. 2: Boise State
No. 3: Michigan
No. 4: Wisconsin
No. 5: Florida
MR. BRAND MR. BRAND, LARRY DIDN'T SHARE HIS HYDRO!
or did he.....
Tim Neverett:
No. 1: Ohio State
No. 2: Florida
No. 3: USC
No. 4: Michigan
Gene Ponti:
No. 1: Ohio State
No. 2: Florida
No. 3: LSU
No. 4: Michigan
Paul Zeise:
No. 1: Ohio State
No. 2: Louisville
No. 3: Florida
No. 4: Michigan
I should point out that Tim Neverett is a sports broadcaster who has done women's boxing in the past, and the phrases "Gene Ponti" and "football" return a grand total of 12 hits on Google. All of that would have been confusing, were they not part of a system that gives this man a vote.
Of course, none of it really matters considering I recently received a confirmation e-mail containing the words "Rose Bowl" and "tickets."

Quit. Crying. The best route to a title game is to beat Ohio State.....wait, you guys can't, and thats why it is so funny to hear Michigan fans cry like little girls.
Johnny,
I'm sure you know it, but this site is amazing. The football season has been beyond my highest expectations, and your site has constantly highlighted what it is I love about Michigan football. I see that an OSU (college educated?) fan has left an "insult" as a comment, and I find it ironic that an OSU fan would post such a low-brow and pathetic insult on a site whic has year-long been a showcase of the very pinnacle of sports writing. Is it overreaching to point to this as proof of which team embodies the better virtues? Perhaps, but the conclusion wouldn't be far off.
It certainly does suck the Michigan once again got screwed, but at least we can all be proud that ole' Lloyd kept Michigan out of the dredges of BCS propaganda. We are Michigan men, and we are certainly made of sterner stuff.
Brentson Buckner voted for Florida over Michigan because Florida lost to LSU. I'm absolutely stunned. I don't even have a joke.
But I do have a great story, so answer your damn phone.
Man, I love a blog that uses a good Dylan lyric - though the one the one that precedes your blog title may be my all time favorite: I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose
