People are stupid

ladyemmy don't read. This is about football!

One of our oldest and richest clients has the scumbag leech who works for him and claims to be a huge Longhorn fan BUT it seems that he is rooting for OU this weekend in the Tech/OU game. He said that he doesn't want any Okie getting into the championship game or national title game. Dumbass! You call yourself a Longhorn fan?? If you truly were you would be rooting for OU because if OU beats Tech our conference will be thrown into a frenzy and all hell is going to break loose. All three teams - Texas, OU and Tech - will hae a strong and valid argument to play in our conference championship and the national title game. It goes against every grain in my body to root for OU but if it means UT gets into the title game I'm going to. He needs to quit talking like that because I want to politely beat the shit out of him.

For those that don't know much about football our Conference is the Big 12 which has screwed itself and pissed a lot of people off this season because the championship isn't played by the number 1 and 2 teams in the conference as it should be. Instead the number 1 team in the south and the number 1 in the north play each other even if 1 and 2 teams are from the north or the south. Which means 2 of the three best teams in our conference - Tech, OU and UT - will be screwed out of playing in the conference game and the team that does play will end up playing a team that while ranked is nothing compared to those 3. It's stupid and it sucks.

And here is why all hell will break loose - those 3 teams will be in a tie for first place so how it is decided is unclear. Each would have a very, strong reason for being there.

OU - I think OU has the weakest case. While they were ranked #1 for a while they didn't beat a number #1 team to get there - USC screwed themselves by losing to Oregon who is a completely unranked team putting OU in the number #1. OU was then beat by Texas who was a lower ranked team even if we were 5 or 6 at the time.

Texas - We beat the #1 ranked OU on a neutral playing field which moved us up to #1. We then went on to play 3 top ranked teams in a row and beat them. While we did lose to Tech it was at Tech which gave them total home field advantage.

Tech - Beat Texas in Lubbock and moved to number #1.

So it all comes down to the Tech/OU game. And like I said if OU wins the fallout is going to be worse than any fandom wank!
