BCS drinking game
Here’s a great idea for a drinking game involving last night’s BCS championship game: If you DVRd the game, play it back and take a drink every time the play is stopped for an unknown reason, every time the clock malfunctions, every time the refs look like they don’t know what’s going on, every time the announcers say stuff that doesn’t make sense or completely state the obvious, every time the play is stopped for an injury/penalty/perplexing officials conference and, of course, every time Tim Tebow is regarded as the second coming. On second thought, don’t do that. That would be very dangerous to your health.
Seriously, was that not just about the most disjointed, stop-and-start, hard to watch football game that has ever been played? If I had to rate my annoyance with certain aspects of the game, I would count it down like this:
3. The constant stoppages in play. There were reviews of obvious plays, reviews of mystery plays, referees conferencing after just about every play and a string of injuries. And is it any wonder players get hurt when they go full tilt for three months and then are asked to take a full month away from game action before trying to suddenly turn it back on?
2. The bumbling announcers. They didn’t know if it was third or fourth down. They didn’t know when a guy was clutching his knee that he hadn’t hurt some other body part. They apparently didn’t know that they don’t need to explain things like “they’re
not going to quit in this game,” and “they’d really like to score here.” And my personal non-favorite, the repeated explanation — with four-way split screen — that first, OU’s offensive coordinator calls in the plays, then the coaches signal the play, then the quarterback takes the snap. Is that how it works? Thanks.
1. Tim “Jesus” Tebow. I mean, do I need much more explanation here? I knew the national media loved Tim Tebow, but the Tim Tebow love-in that took place Thursday night was beyond my comprehension levels. Here are some fake quotes I made up to illustrate my point: “Tim Tebow is like a father to me,” “Tim Tebow is a man of unwavering faith and composure who, if necessary, can live without oxygen for more than four days,” and “Tim Tebow: If you don’t think he’s the greatest man to walk the earth, I will hunt you down and beat you.” OK! I GET IT! YOU LOVE TIM TEBOW! Please, Tim Tebow, leave college football now. If for no other reason than I personally CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

So true on every count! Although I can’t remember much of the fourth quarter as I was well into a FD double dog finishing off a session. . . bad mistake.
