As the saying goes: “Don’t go negative first, but when it happens, go hard.” These guys must have had this one in the can, because the Big East has responded to the SEC’s attack ad with a smear campaign of their own.
To quote the venerable Admiral Josh Painter:”This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

These ads are hilarious.
They’re also one more reason to eliminate the BCS and any talk of a playoff. Return to the system before the BCS.
Why? For the same reason we should eliminate instant replay. Neither development has solved the issue they were intended to solve and both put take the focus off the game and put the focus on media and non-football related sportsertainment issues.

F the SEC. I don’t see how playing 1-AA teams like it’s going out of style then beating up on each other counts as “The best football in the country”
Don’t you need to average more than 12 points a game to claim that?

Apropos of nothing, Don friggin Knotts is a native of Morgantown, West Va. and there’s a street named after him there. Any conference that includes the West Virginian tribe of semi-sentient hillbillies shouldn’t exactly be calling others rednecks.

Fuck off MBW. I don’t see anyone claiming that a team from the ACC belongs in the title game. Or any BCS game for that matter. ESPECIALLY not Miami.
Way to jump conferences, take on the ACC’s self-perceived superiority, revive that oh-so-classic rep, and lose (BIG) to the replacement team in the you conference abandoned. Go ‘Canes.
Ya sure dun showed us “semi sentient hillbillies”.

Odell, Sinn Fein is on our side.
26+6 = 1, bitches.
and CBG, I think you need to edumicate them po’ folk in the south about your state a little bit.
for instance, AUAlum, WVa is most certainly NOT a Red state. they wanted nothing to do with the South, and they were so eager to drop their association with it that they RE-SECEDED back to the North in 1863. Now seriously, how is the South ever gonna rise again when the hillbilliest of the hillbilly states can see the writing on the wall and jumps ship?
Although they may secretly be geniuses for seeing the economic value of selling that there coal to factories that weren’t getting burned to the ground by Uncle Billy Sherman.

RE #2:
As opposed to beating up an I-AA (6-0) and MAC/service academy level teams (10-1) and rolling over to anyone with a pulse in conference or out?
Any time an entire conference counts Maryland as their marquee win, they should probably do all they can to make sure SOS is ignored by all outside parties.

Wooderson,
The relative ease with which Bush won the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections would lead one to believe they are a red state.
And I didn’t mean to go far enough to bring in the IRA, I was just hoping for some T-shirts along the lines of “Convicts vs Catholics.”

AUALum, it’s ok
The IRA disarmed, and took up politics. Which, if W. has taught us anything, usually leads to a whole lot more deaths.
I kid though. Sinn Fein is at least tryign to go about it the peaceable way, and for that their leaders should be applauded.
also, as much as it pains to say it, there’s no way in hell NI is ever going to be evacuated by the british gov’t as long as they’re a constitutional monarchy.

That’s comedy… I think you meant that they discovered that they could make more money with drug running and extortion than appealing to the sentiment of Northeastern Irish-Americans…
also, as much as it pains to say it, there’s no way in hell NI is ever going to be evacuated by the british gov’t as long as they’re a constitutional monarchy.
Hey, they stole it fair and square hundreds of years ago. Plus, they then created the proto-redneck with Scottish settlers who subsequently went to America so they could fight with one another over ACC and SEC rankings. That’s a real record of historical achievement and I think a small corner of the Emerald Isle is due compensation.
Seriously though, the smart option for the British Government would have been, after the 1916 uprising, to have shot Eamonn DeValera when they had the chance, told the Ulstermen that they were getting free passage to Scotland, and turned the whole of Ireland loose at once. That would have at least given the Irish a chance of not being a third world country gripped by the priests until the 70s — what a waste of talent and potential.

CouchBurnin'Girl says:
I believe the BE/SEC mockery a 2-way street. UF has jorts. WVU has hillbillies and moonshine. Auburn backwoods rednecks fall in love. Rutgers is in Jersey. These are not personal attacks, but generalizations based on stereotypes that we can all find amusing without truly being offended. Like most people on this site, I am an equal opportunity mocker.
And, MBW, I am in fact from WV and you’ve just slammed my state twice in 2 posts using gross generalizations and stereotypes that are incredibly unoriginal. Naughty, naughty…
Moving on, AUAlum is correct. West Virginia voted red in both 2000 and 2004. That said, WV has 2 dem. senators and traditionally elect a dem governor.
It is also interesting to note that WV is the only state in the nation that was not officially made a state by normal constitutional procedures (i.e., ratification by 2/3 of the states). WV applied to Congress for statehood – a request which was granted and approved by Abe Lincoln provided the state constitution abolished slavery.
Which worked out for the best b/c black people want to live in WV anyway.

Of course, the discourse here makes everything better. Northern Ireland politics, Civil War smack talk and Don Knotts? You can’t beat that.
Oh, and the more I think about things, the more I tend to agree with OhioDawg’s sentiments in #1. Bring back the good ol’ days of Big 10 vs. Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl, etc. College football is about way more than trying to crown a MNC, so why should we pretend otherwise? Clearly, we have enough good things to debate about as it is.
