Are you offended or happy by the two 'underdogs' playing eachother?

I am a little offended, they just killed two birds with one stone by making them play eachother. Stop side-stepping the future BCS! Your choices are outdated, and satisfying alum is living in the past. I think TCU/ALABAMA was the logical choice this season for the BCS.

The lesser conferences deserve some love, especially when they dominate the tough games on their schedules as TCU and BOISE both did this year. Texas, this year however, does not deserve their BCS bid. Their defense is improved but they barely squeaked by too many 'bad' games and while they won, they did not win with any conviction or do anything this season to impress or justify to me their BCS championship bid. After a lot of thinking TCU Vs. 'BAMA is the logical choice. The underdog conferences and the PAC-10 deserve some more love in the future.

to reiterate, it is a cheap way of avoiding the implications of Boise beating Texas and TCU beating 'Bama.

Offended. TCU deserves to be in that title game more than Texas.

I could be bias because TCU is less than 5 miles from here, but pretty much everyone else agrees with me so maybe not?

You are biased. Texas deserves it more than TCU. Teams sometimes pull out close wins. Thats life.
That being said, having Boise State play TCU most definitely is garbage.

That's debatable, and should not be left to a computer system to decide, nor should it be left up to anyone but the players.

What is not debatable is that the Fiesta Bowl is a quintessential cop-out by the BCS. Instead of giving both schools a chance to be a legitimate BCS buster as Utah did last season, they let them duke it out amongst each other, almost as if to say, "Here's the game for the non-BCS teams that don't deserve to be here but made it on qualification anyway. Have a nice day."

I hope Texas and Alabama have a horrid game while TCU kicks ass. And hey, what about Cincinnati? They have a claim to the title if they beat Florida as well.

I meant Florida, not Texas. I'd like to see TCU in the BCS, but they deserve to be playing Florida. Not Boise St (again).

Wow I dont know where my head was. Should have been TCU vs. Florida NOT in the title game, and would have liked to see TCU vs. Alabama in title game.

Jeez.

TCU fans need a reality check. Guess what? Cincinnati PASSED YOU in the BCS standings so if Texas lost, you still weren't going to Pasadena.

Fiesta Bowl, aka, the Tallest Midget Competition.

It's like they relegated BSU and TCU to the kids table. Bull ****. Nobody, NOBODY, wanted to see this matchup. Yes, it will be an intriguing matchup, and probably better than any of the other BCS bowls (except the MNC), but as SteVo pretty much said; the BCS has eliminated the possibility of a BCS buster. TCU vs. Florida would have been a great matchup as would Cincinnati vs. Boise State. I don't see it happening with the "Brian Kelly to Notre Dame" headlines, but let us hope Cincinnati somehow takes down UF and Texas can beat Bama in a controversial game by 1. I'd love to see a split NC.

BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:18 AM) Ban for calling me "guy"
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:19 AM) Wait....I can't ban you....
Matt Ryan  : (09 September 2010 - 03:19 AM) Come on guy, you can't do that. lol
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:19 AM) SteVo, do the deed.
Favre4Ever  : (09 September 2010 - 03:20 AM) You want Stevo to have sex with you?
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:20 AM) Actually, Mathias deserves points for the mere fact that he was the reason PSU went into emo mode, and fell on his sword
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:21 AM) *attention whoring sword
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:22 AM) PSU thought people would feel bad for him....lmao
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:22 AM) Biggest retard in the history of the internet.....
Favre4Ever  : (09 September 2010 - 03:23 AM) Where does Clay Matthews rank?
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:23 AM) Maybe only ClayMatthews is on his level
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:23 AM) lmao j-dizzle
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:23 AM) beat me to it
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:23 AM) :rofl:
Favre4Ever  : (09 September 2010 - 03:25 AM) ;)
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:28 AM) Clay might actually be worse....
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:28 AM) because he is apparently a LOT older
Favre4Ever  : (09 September 2010 - 03:30 AM) Do we know this for a fact?
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:34 AM) No, hence why I said "apparently".
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:36 AM) But some of the jersey threads he's made, along with (I think it was him) some of the old video clips of NFL games threads he made last year lead me to believe so....
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:37 AM) Like NaTaS was saying the other night......he sounds like an old dude that doesn't know how to post......
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:38 AM) Either that, or he's a troll.
BLUE  : (09 September 2010 - 03:40 AM) He's dumb and annoying, either way.
Vindifference  : (09 September 2010 - 05:50 AM) lolcollege
PurpleHaze  : (09 September 2010 - 05:56 AM) hey vin
Vindifference  : (09 September 2010 - 06:09 AM) Hey
PurpleHaze  : (09 September 2010 - 06:18 AM) hows it going
RazorStar  : (09 September 2010 - 08:37 AM) The Jets gave playcalling duties to Mark Sanchez for parts of their final preseason game. On their first drive with Nacho making calls, the offense scored a touchdown, prompting Sanchez to tell Brian Schottenheimer that his job is easy and he sucks. Merely light teasing, sure, but I appreciate the mockery of any Schottenheimer.

Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:19 AM) Tom Brady was in a wreck?
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:22 AM) http://www.thegridir...adys-car-crash/
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:25 AM) Yea I responded in your thread...
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:25 AM) but apparently he's completely fine...
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:26 AM) I don't think it says, but was he driving?
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:27 AM) I edited my post and added the PFT article I read earlier...
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:27 AM) Yea he was driving...
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:28 AM) He could still feel that "post-crash" effect Sunday.
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:29 AM) Maybe. It's definitely possible.
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:29 AM) It's possible but I doubt it...
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:30 AM) We'll really never know though, because if he does play bad or mediocre people will say it was because of that and of course he will say it wasn't.
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:30 AM) Do they think the wreck was his fault?
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:31 AM) I dunno, I have not read anything more about it.
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:32 AM) The other driver had to be taken out with the jaws of life, maybe he t-boned her...
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:32 AM) Yea, maybe. Well I gotta get ready and go to class. See ya.
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:33 AM) Or he rear ended her really ****ing hard...or even a head to head collision.
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:33 AM) Later.
Sarge  : (09 September 2010 - 09:33 AM) Mav just IM'd me and said the other driver ran a red light.
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:34 AM) oh ok...
BucD  : (09 September 2010 - 09:35 AM) lolminivan
