BCS Championship tonight

Well..  One of the big games is on tonight.  And tonight, I'll be in my Gator Gear at Buffalo Wild Wings cheerin' for my... Reptiles..  And until they come up with a playoff, there is no "co-champion," b*tch!  Shoulda been in the big damn game.  

-Texas you have no case, you almost lost to Ohio State.

-USC, you have no case, you play in the Pac-10, and played a Big 10 team in the Rose bowl.

-Utah, you also play in a weak division, and you DID NOT PLAY a MOTIVATED 'Bama team.

Any more questions?!  Go GATORS!...  Muthaf*cka...

BCS Madness

Well, before I dive into the madness known as the BCS, I'ma brag abit.

For Four years straight now, ya boy has been spot on with the BCS championships and the Champions.  Here's what I predicted at the beginnin' of each season.

USC v. Texas - Texas

Florida v. Ohio St. - Florida

LSU v. Oklahoma - LSU  ( Ok, ok, I wasn't 100% on this one.)

Florida v. Oklahoma - Florida (And we're gonna see if my Gators pull through.)

How do I do this you say?  Well, because the scale of competition is so unbalanced now, so you can safely assume that the SEC are the beasts in college football, with the Big 12 behind them.  Everything after that is pretty much a toss-up, but I'd make a case for the ACC, but that's a different argument.  The best conference has been a long goin' argument for years now.  And since this BCS (which was suppose to fix these problems) thing has surfaced, alotta teams got screwed, and some have been put in places they weren't suppose to.  

The most recent screw up was the Texas Oklahoma thing.  Yes, I picked Oklahoma in the beginnin' of the season, but it still doesn't negate the fact that Texas beat them on a neutral field by 10 points.  You'd think that'd be the tie-breaker huh?  Well, it's college football ladys n gents, so NO!!  That won't be the case.  I can remember a more obvious screw up, I think it was in '03, when Auborn went undefeated, Oklahoma lost  the Big 12 Championship, but Oklahoma got to go to the National Championship game against USC.  And Auborn had to settle for some schoo' they pounded to death.   And for the past few years, we've seen to many teams get spots they weren't suppose to have.  Ohio State last year, Notre Dame gettin the bid against LSU in '06.  And there have been down-right INSULTS to teams who just end up gettin' the short end of the stick in their conference.  For example, this year...  Alabama gets to play the mighty Utah, after poundin' people all year, poor Texas gets to play Ohio St (lmao).  Last year Georgia had to play Hawaii.  And it's alot of others.

My question is, why can't they make more intriguing match-ups?

How come these can't be the match ups for deserving teams?

Texas v. Alabama.

and  Utah will play Ohio St instead.

Texas Tech v. Ole Miss is gonna be a good game, don't sleep so no complaints on that one.

GIVE US PLAYOFFS!!!  COME ON PAC-10 PRESIDENTS!!

But anyway.  I leave on this note.

GO GATORS!!

Air Heads: Jordan Six Rings - 1996 Colorway

1996 Title was vs the Seattle Super Sonics (Rip) but these are fucking gross. I'm not a fan of the Six Rings to start with though so I thought I'd post them in case anyone was in to em.

Emerald City Journeys to Oklahoma (booo Thunder!)

Henry McComas (director of the critically acclaimed film, Emerald City) has posted his blog about the trip on Crookedlp.com.

Stay tuned for more information on his newest project Pheonix Falling:

With that being said, Crookedlp.com, I cannot let this feeling escape; I have started pre-production for my next budgeted film “PHOENIX FALLING.” The film has had me interviewing geneticists, doctors, and piles of books for my latest dramatic, Science Fiction project. But that story is for another day. I will tell you all about it next time.

Schultz Drops Sonics Lawsuit

Last April, Schultz sued to regain ownership, contending Bennett failed to carry through on a promise to negotiate in good faith for a new arena in Seattle for one full year. Schultz had hoped to undo the sale so he could initiate a transfer of the team to a buyer who would keep it in Seattle.

"Seattle’s best chance for a professional basketball franchise is to end this litigation and allow the city, state Legislature and other parties to begin the necessary fence mending with the NBA.”

MSNBC

Sonics & Seattle SETTLE LAWSUIT!

WTF MAN. Everything was going good. They were about to announce the decision today... We were about to keep the team probably, or if we lost, we lost in the heat of battle. You don't just fucking GIVE IN! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! (c)Galaxy Quest

FUCK!

I guess this is what it feels like to have an abortion.

I hate the fact even more that it's on some bullshit. Like, if they tried to build a new stadium or tried to work with us on something besides a brand new ultra spectacular $500 million thing for a playoff team that the new owners PURPOSLY BLEW THE FUCK UP!

When the Bulls stole Pippen from us they didn't get rid of Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley too. It takes more than one person to make a championship team.

The City of Seattle and the Sonics have reached a settlement in their lawsuit, according to a report in The Seattle Times.

According to the report, the team will be allowed to leave for Oklahoma City for a payment of $75 million. The team will not have to pay the entire amount if the city is awarded another NBA team.

A judge was set to rule on Wednesday whether the team could buy its way out of its lease and move to Oklahoma City immediately, or if it had to play out the remaining two years of its lease in Seattle. But Judge Marsha Pechman confirmed Wednesday that a settlement had been reached. She told The Times that she would let the parties involved announced the terms of the settlement.

Well, I hope they take the $75 Million and fix the god damn traffic situation out here. Shit. It's starting to look like L.A. in this bitch. I wouldn't mind if it was 75 every day like this week but it's not. And fix the viaduct before it breaks and falls, and fix the 520 before it breaks and sinks.
