The Current "Lay of the Land" in College Football

by OGN on Sep 12, 2009 1:10 AM EDT

We're barely into the 2009 college football season, and already there are big storylines developing with some of the major conferences. We sent our reporter to interview each conference and get their take on how this year is shaping up. We boiled down each interview into one salient comment per conference. We present them below:

1) ACC - "we friggin hate the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)"

2) Big Ten - "we friggin love the CAA. I mean, we only usually just get blown out by PAC 10 teams. Please note - App St is NOT a member of the CAA"

3) Big East - " what the Big Eleven eerrrrrr Big 10 just said".

4) WAC - "Will someone please explain how the hell the ACC gets an automatic BCS bid and we don't"

5) Mountian West - "Will someone please explain how the hell the ACC gets an automatic BCS bid and we don't"

and Finally

6) Colonial Athletic Assoc - "Will someone please explain how the hell the ACC gets an automatic BCS bid and we don't - I mean we own the ACC and kick their ass--- uummmm wait a minute ---- we actually do things right and have a playoff - NEVER Mind"

And there you have it sports fans - that's the Lay of the Land in college football 2009. Tune in next week when we'll examine what the ACC needs to do to become more competitive in 1AA football - God knows we play enough of these guys.

This is pretty stupid.

That’s all I could come up with, sorry. I was staring at my computer for like 15 minutes, reading your fanpost over and over again, and my wife was like, “What’s wrong, honey?” And I was like, “Nothing, why?” And she was like, “Well, you’re just staring at the monitor.” So I said, “Well, come over and read this, and tell me what you think.” She read it and didn’t say anything. Five minutes of silence. Well, I knew where that was going, so I started asking questions. “Is it a comedy piece?” “No,” she said, “I don’t think so, because it isn’t funny.” True. So we scratched that off our list. “Is it a hit piece?” I asked. “No, it can’t be,” she answered, “because it’s stupid.” “Stupid?” I asked. “Yes, stupid,” she said, “like the stuff people were saying after Week 1 of last season.” (My wife said that. Sexy, right?) And she was like, “And he uses ‘we’ when it’s obvious he’s not an ACC fan, and it’s just amateurish. It’s just stupid.” So anyway, I was like, “Well, I can’t just post, ‘This is stupid.’” And she was like, “Why not?” And i was like, “I just can’t.” And so she was like, “Then why don’t you just post, ‘This is pretty stupid.’ Not combative and not the least bit untrue.” “Perfect,” I said. And so there you have it. The perfect response to a tool who has yet to figure out that a 7-day free trial to Rivals opens one up to a world of fools who will respond to bull**** like this, while folks at TN simply wonder how many teenage virgins can there possibly be out there that would come here to look up to their king as he types away at a keyboard pretending to be something he’s not: An ACC fan and someone who’s had sex with a partner even once in his life. There can’t be that many. So we let it go. Pretty stupid, aren’t you?

I and everyone else, now knows why you need your wife to do your thinking for you ;-P

This is what you come up with as a rebutal. Go back to your vacant starring and stop killing what little brain cells you have left ;-P

I was just fooling. And I figured you wouldn't care, but trust me, I didn't sense you were up for a rebuttal.

But here’s the thing, this might have been appropriate for a Virginia blog, you know? I could see some UVA fans getting seriously ~~angered~~ amused by it. ~~Rage and anger~~ amusement, that kind of stuff. But why FSU fans? Which you’re… one of? With… a ton of… conference pride? Or are you just…. * blank stare *

“Honey?”

HAHA.

I’m laughing at both of you. Honestly thought this was funny. With how the ACC has done these first two weeks…I’m done defending them.

Just kidding.

Yup that was me

Row 41 seat 14ish. I’ll be there again even if this whole Provo experiment fails. haha. I really left the JSU game because me and my buddy were breaking down into blathering, cussing, muttering cavemen. We started to feel bad for the people that were left around us. I’m hard to miss. Big, fat guy, with an unruly beard. HAHA.
