Ole Memphis`

I have been so busy these past couple of weeks that i haven't had time to post a blog but here is one because im sure that people are waiting for this one. I stayed out all night Friday waiting for the game to get here. Knowing in my mind that the chances of us winning were like the chances of me putting a 42" lift kit on my 1999 saturn sl1 and replacing my system in the trunk with a large cooler filled with imitation crab meat. But i keep remembering in my heart that our average wide receiver height is around 6'3" which is pretty tall. Plus we have this guy we call slim that we should call the freak of nature (6'8", 4.29 40 yard dash!!) plus we fired the only downside of our team the last 3 years Jo Lee Freakin Dunn. So my mind clearly says no but my heart keeps yelling we've got a chance. I'm not gonna go over the problems that i have with the game both in the game and the Liberty Bowl and certain Student organizations...but i will say this we played horrible, Martin Hankins is overrated, Joseph Doss is not Deangelo Williams, and Tommy West is not the greatest coach ever. But what makes me more angry than anything in the entire world is UT fans....well except for Ole Miss fans....but by beating Memphis all that they say is what now, we proved that you are a second rate football program blah blah blah blah....the only problem that i have with college football is this: the BCS creates the most unfair advantage in any sports association ever created. The budget of Memphis compared to Knoxville is like 1 million times more (not really but it is like 10 times more) so schools like Memphis are put at a competitive disadvantage based on conference. If i were a lawyer i would take this to court because the BCS is most obviously a monopoly. This seems outlandish and maybe i am speaking out of frustration and i refuse to go back to my old Memphis ways and wait til basketball season so i can watch our great team with the Tennessee fans that were at the football game as they wear the Tiger Blue. But i feel sorry for schools like TCU, Utah, and Boise State that are not perennial powerhouses but also will never be allowed to be because of the BCS and their maniacal, money hungry, egotistical, numbskulls eliminate them from competition all-together. Anyway good luck Deangelo i hope you break more records than you did here and you join our other future Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce.
