Max Hall is Horrible
...and I apologize if I ever praised him at any point.
He'd better drastically improve during the off-season, get healthy, or something. Because this "most competitive person I've ever met" description about him we always hear needs to be qualified with "most competitive person I've ever met against teams that are no good."
There...I said it.

BCS decides outcome of WWII
I'm going to take credit for this humerous article since I can't find the rightful owner. Finders keepers right?
BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II... US Finishes Ranked 4th
After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.
"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."
Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories--Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."
German Chancellor Adolph Hitler said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional
forces."
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented "France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

Fans We Don't Want
Casey's seen, and the guy copied a guy who did it for Hitler as a Cowboys' fan, but still amusing

MWC dominates the BCS
This has got to be a telling stat. The Mountain West Conference is 9 -4 against BCS conference teams this season.
The wins came against: Washington, Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State, Tennessee, Iowa State, Arizona State, Michigan, Arizona
The losses came from: Cal, Okalahoma, Texas A&M, Colorado
Now I'll admit that none of the wins came against any of the premier BCS teams; however, just to think that UNLV, who is 2-0 versus the BCS and 0-5 versus MWC teams, would have a better season playing in the Big XII or the Pac 10 is interesting. Also note that many of these wins were from the bottom dwellers of the MWC, which tells me that the MWC is definitely more balanced than many of the BCS conferences, and this year is superior to several of the conferences.
Of the Pac 10, ACC, and Big East there is only ONE team, one team from those 3 power conferences that has a team ranked higher than the top THREE MWC teams. Simply put, of the 30 teams that make up the Pac 10, ACC, and Big East; USC is the only team ranked ahead of BYU which is the THIRD highest ranked MWC team.
If the MWC doesn't deserve an automatic bid in the BCS when they have 3 teams ranked in the top 15 of the BCS, while ONLY the Big XII has more teams ranked in the top 15 than the MWC; then the BCS is an absolute joke. Okay, that's a foregone conclusion. But seriously, with statistics like this, how does the media conveniently and constantly forget about this conference?
