First you can’t melt steel with fire and now Christianity came before Judaism.  “The View” is full of all sorts of interesting tidbits.

BCS Show

Posted in Current Events, Sports at 2:04 pm by Administrator

I think there should be a boycott of the advertisers who support the selection shows for the BCS and mens basketball tournament.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to listen to three commentators pretend to discuss whether or not Hawaii would be playing in the championship game; none of them actually believed that was going to happen.  I know that they want to sell comercial time, but I don’t want spend a half-hour listening to mind-numbing chit chat. 

The list of those sponsors I can remember is below. 

Pontiac

Allstate

AT&T

DirecTV

Taco Bell

Sharp

Ford

Nissan

In the interest of full disclosure, although I support the idea of the boycott for which I just called, I am contractually obligated to send money to two of the companies on this list for several months in the near future.  Maybe I’ll write them a letter.

I think that Illinois (and OSU) probably came out of that whole thing in a pretty well; good things come to those who don’t play for the last two weeks I guess.  I just hope that USC doesn’t embarass them like they did Michigan last year.
