If you would make even the slightest mention of college football, I am primed to raise the ever-offensive issue of the biggest fantasy of them all, the polls, and how overrated are my own beloved Texas Longhorns: 4-0, yes, and ranked #7 in several fake polls, but just a couple of timely interceptions from being 2-2, and showing no signs of a defense worthy of a top 10 team. They are a strong bet to finish 8-4, by my reckoning, in spite of having their first clean outing of the season (against Rice!) Yet there they sit at #7. The question I would love to ask you is, how does this Texas team get a #7 ranking, when effing TCU gave them all they could handle through most of three quarters and the University of Central Florida (who?) all but christened their new stadium with Colt McCoy?
But you won't mention college football, so I guess I'm going to have save this rant for another day.
