Hearing Poor Poor Pitiful Me -- Warren Zevon
Go Vols!
When love of college football goes too far. Say, to Iraq.
I have to admit I'm just not one of those people who cares in the slightest about college football. And why should I? I went to a Division III school. Local high school teams could have kicked the stuffing out of our football team. The most notable event ever to happen at our football stadium involved not football but fission. And then later we tore down the stadium to make way for (gasp!) a library. And yet the very first Heisman Trophy winner went to my school, so there. Be that as it may, when people get all sweaty about college football, I just have to give them polite yet blank stare.
Being utterly agnostic about college football is exceptionally difficult at the moment, as I live in Ohio, home of the current defending national champions, whose current style of winning games (i.e., blow a big lead, have to scrape by at the very last possible second) has been aggravating heart conditions across the state. Yet I manage, although I do have to say I find this to be exceptionally amusing.
Yes, I'll be going into hiding now.

football really has no interest for me- but as an Ohioan I do watch the Michigan OSU rivalry-if I know when it's on, and the superbowl- thats enough football for me. Go Buckeyesssssssssssss

A friend commented to me about how OSU always plays down to their opponent's level. They never really smash anyone around, they just win a lot by small margins. I wouldn't be suprised if they played my high school team and only won by a touchdown, but at least they'd win.
