The Picker: Punks Rule the Football World
Plenty are pissed about Oklahoma State being passed up in favor of Alabama to play for a national championship and a second shot at LSU, especially The Picker, author of the following.
Led by the ESPN, the merchant of bias, incompetence, evil, and dumbness, Alabama won the popularity contest over Oklahoma State to play in the fake national title game.
After the campaign championed by ESPN, it’s a wonder the final tally was as close as it was.
According to ESPN “exerts,” Alabama won the “eye test.”
These ESPN clowns can’t pick a winner but know who belongs in the final game?
The “eye test” is where ESPN folds under pressure and looks at profits generated by the SEC.
For as disgusting a read as you can ever find, please get USA Today and check out the individual ballots submitted by voting coaches.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, recently picked up for drunk driving, turned in the most disgusting ballot in football history. He put every Big 12 team lower than where it wound up in the final poll. He voted OSU fourth, behind Stanford. Numbskull Air Force coach Troy Calhoun had Oklahoma State fifth behind Arkansas! Homer Stanford coach David Shaw had OSU fourth behind his own team. Non-stop campaigner Nick Saban had OSU fourth. These people should be ashamed of their bias and should be banned from ever voting again.
What’s a fan to do?
The only recourse is to stay away from the pathetic bowls, don’t go, don’t watch on TV, don’t buy the products. Here’s our all-time favorite bowl, the Fired Coaches Bowl, UCLA 6-7 versus Illinios, 6-6, with both coaches having been dumped.
Hardly anything is worst than OU-Iowa in the Humiliation Bowl.
What’s to become of OU?
More of the same. Stoops wins too much to be chastised by the in-state media puppets. He’s too good to be put on notice, not good enough to win another national title. According to the homers, the solution is to fortify the good ‘ol boys coaching club by rehiring Mike Stoops, whose teams haven’t stopped anybody in close to a decade.
And how about Oklahoma State’s field goal call at Iowa State. Nice call ref. Where ever you’re hiding.
Boycott the bowls.
