I so seldom get to do this that it's liberating! And for the record, they are lucky as shit to have their record. The only reason they are #4 in the BCS is because of the record itself, certainly not the quality of the wins. My worst fear is that they'll get past Ohio State and go undefeated, yet still be out of the national championship game. Most likely with Texas, Florida and Alabama in front of them they'll end up playing Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl, which will be a fucking blowout.
I will say this; remember 2002? The national champion Ohio State Buckeyes? Yeah, they weren't a great or national championship-worthy team either. Yet they lucked their way straight to the title, even beating a nearly unstoppable Miami thanks to those lucky ass breaks. So it's certainly happened before in history that a team running on luck gets to the championship. What you have to hope for is LSU to beat Alabama this weekend, then Florida losing in the SEC Championship.
And just to further drive home the point that this was the absolute worst weekend in sports ever, during the worst year in sports ever, here are some choice quotes from today's sport radio show here in the Motor City:
Minnesota's Adam Weber is standing back there, not moving, just asking who wants to make a big play this time. ZIP, there's 80 yards to some white guy. Hey you, random JuCo transfer whose name I don't know, ZIP! 40 yards! Lets not forget about my tight ends, even though I slept with his girlfriend, ZIP! 30 yards!
Minnesota couldn't score in a whorehouse, but don't worry here comes Michigan State! And they're wearing thigh-highs! Legs in the air, gentlemen!
Marcus Hide, I hope you didn't drop your purse trying to make that tackle! Were you trying to give Minnesota's Bennett a thigh massage?
Is there something in the recruiting staffs for both schools that keeps them from recognizing safeties who know what the hell they're doing?
Backed up on your own 1, on the road, at night, Cousins just threw a touchdown pass....IN GOES NICHOL!!! I don't care what promises were made to his family, if any, GET OUT OF MY SCHOOL!!! GET OFF THE FIELD!!! You want an earpiece, hold a clipboard, hop on. Cousins is our quarterback!
Oh yes you are a genius
Richard, please diagram another offensive play for us
Richard. HOW ABOUT DIAGRAMMING A DEFENSE?!
Our whole weekend was shot! There wasn't a single down of good football played all weekend, and it doesn't matter which team you root for or if you root for them all.
I have never in my life seen someone throw a Hail Mary pass into the STANDS.
Hell who needs a Hail Mary if you're playing Michigan, just run the read option with a running QB.
If fans were heckling Stafford with a few blankety-blanks, then it makes sense for Dominic to stand up for him; but for Raiola to open his fat mouth and run down the fans for saying "I was open too" after that confusing Hail Mary pass is a joke. And this comes after him flipping fans the bird and many other times he's talked smack to them in interviews? Get out of town Dom!
Central Michigan had a chance this week to escape the Pizza-Pizza Bowl, and just laid down.
What Lions fans have had to deal with, Sunday in and Sunday out, is unmatched in sports. Clippers fans may lay a claim, but Lions fandom and crapping the bed goes beyond the formation of the Clippers by 30+ years.
When I see players like Percy Harvin and Jeremy Maclin making an impact, Michael Orr starting on his offensive line, and our pick was Tight End Brandon Pettigrew?? He's going to have to be a combination of Calvin and Tony Gonzalez.
"Everything was just about over and we didn't want a blocked punt, so we lined up for the hail mary. But they had 5 men all the way across on the line so we just told Matt to throw it out of bounds. We just didn't want to run the risk of a blocked punt." What?! The only thing missing from this quote was a Wayne Fontes snowflake sweater. Of course the Rams had 5 guys all across the goal line, YOU WERE THROWING A HAIL MARY PASS!
:explode: 
I'd say Ohio and Michigan are our true big rivals.
