Re: SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- NOTE -- 3p.m ET Monday ballot deadline

Damn, SOMEONE is living on this thread. I think that post was up for something like 30 seconds.

I didn't want to start a fight and get this thread killed, so I thought better of the gratuitous childhood insult and deleted it immediately.

Others might live for the fights here; I don't.

SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- Week 3

By SLAPPY 4428
SportsJournalists.com POLLMEISTER

"OK, my son. Go ahead."
Forgive me father for I have sinned. It's been -- hell, I have no idea how long it's been since my last confession.
"Only I can say Hell in here."
Sorry Father. But I’ve said a lot worse lately. And done a lot worse lately. I can't help it.
See I'm in this poll for college football. A bunch of other guys and girls are in it and I'm trying to be my own person but it's so hard. I mean not hard in a demonstrably, proveably hard way. But difficult. You know, like watching "Notre Dame try to pass block kinda hard."
"Notre Dame... I see"
That's the problem. I see too. I mean, I really liked the way Michigan played and wanted to rank them but I couldn't.
And then I look at my picks and see that I've ranked Kentucky? In football? A team with a coach so befuddled that he kicked the extra point up five against Louisville instead of going for two? And Louisville? Don't get me started on them!
"It."
What?
"Louisville is an 'it,' Cardinals are a 'they'."
Are you sure?
"I know a little something about Cardinals. Go on."
Anyway. I keep getting suckered in to these stupid picks in this poll. Last week, I took Tennessee and blammo -- they get beat at Florida by Urban Meyer. I take UCLA -- I mean. You See El Aye against Utah. Bunch a Mormons. Can't play football. Passive and meek, right? And You See El Aye falls faster than Brittney Spears boobies after childbirth. Wait. Can I say boobies?
"Better to talk about hers than man boobies, I suppose. But you've confused the Amish with the Mormons. Amish are easy going."
Damn skippy they are. Fighting Amish of Notre Dame my wide, white butt.
"That's Irish, not Amish. Fighting Irish of Notre Dame."
My ass. There's nothing fighting about that team. Maybe they need to make a deal with Satan.
"Saban. Don’t you mean Nick Saban?"
Satan. Saban. Tomato, toemato. That's what really frosts my nuggets, Father. I felt I had to put Alabama in the poll. I mean, the guy jumps ship quicker than Jeebus leaves the tomb. It was like watching Spartacus in Crimson instead of leather or Ben-Hur with elephants instead of horses. I tried to put it off as long as I could, but I gave in to the peer pressure and voted for them in the top 25.
"Who 'them?'"
Alabama. Sorry. What's the difference? He, the, she, it?
"You said it, my son. He the she-it."

OK, I know they beat UCLA (well, UCLA pretty much beat UCLA in that game, but that's another story) but how do the Utes get any votes? They're 1-2 with losses to the Beavers (the I-get-clobbered-by-Cincinnati-Beavers) and Air Force. 13 votes? 1 more than Cincinnati?

 

Re: SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- NEW RESULTS -- WEEK 3 -- PAGE 12

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Kentucky bandwagon. I'm your driver, AgatePage (I figure since I was the only person to give them votes before this week that I have to lead the way).

By the way, there's free kool-aid in the back. Enjoy the ride, and the complimentary Andre Woodson for Heisman gear you'll find in your seats. The in-ride movie choices are "Glory Road" and Ashley Judd's greatest hit, "A Time To Kill."

However, I must warn you that this bus stops for no one; the only way off is to stagger away from the wreckage once we go over the cliff.

 

Re: SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- NEW RESULTS -- WEEK 3 -- PAGE 12

Actually, that's not true. Someone else gave them a vote in the preseason, then abandoned them once it started.
