THE TEN MOMENTS OF PURE MALICIOUS FATE, 2007: ARRRGGGH RYAN
Number four in our ongoing moments of horror from the season. Is your throat scratchy? You know, AIDS doesn’t show symptoms for years. It won’t matter, though, with global warming and all.
4. Eight men versus two. You’ve subdued Matt Ryan for the better part of four quarters and–though you don’t know this at time (you never do, mercifully)–are riding a shot to the national title game down to the wire with undefeated Boston College. I mean, the guy’s looked like cold slices of rat ass the whole game, and you’ve got him throwing into an eight man coverage. This shit is over. Hey, have you ever been to New Orleans? I mean, it’s conceivable that a one-loss team could make the game, right? I mean, not a two loss team, but a one-loss team is certainly possible? I hear there’s this great restaurant over in the CBD–
–oh, fuck.
To be continued. Going on vacation? Why? You’ll just be risking plane travel and road travel, thus doubling your risk of being killed by high-speed trauma. Just stay at home on the internet instead.

The unspoken act of Malicious Phate here is that Jeff Jagodzinski unknowingly did the special “Lose next 2 games to ACC Also-rans” dance after Ryan threw that touchdown.
So sad.

Number 1, 2 and 3 Dept:
Orson Swindle, Stranko Montana, Hannah Montana & Hannah and Her Sisters:
Here is the most horrific moment of the 2007 footbaw season. So horrific it would take the top three places by itself.

The Lighter Side Dept:
Humanity Advanced (Brain Excepted) (McFadden of the Hogs) was handcuffed after piano bar brawl. Heisman runner-up ‘was agitated and was provoking aggressive behavior’, says the headline.
What I do not get is…What is McFadden doing in a piano bar? Charles Nelson Riley-ish to me. Provoking aggresive behavior at the piano bar by doing what?…Taking the few dollars out of the ‘man’s’ gratuity (tips) wine glass?

Matt Ryan had Flutie Magic on his side on that throw.

#2 - I’m sure that’s coming. There’s no reason to revisit it early. It still hurts too damn much.

None of these could ever come close to that Texas high school football game. Talk about a kick in the nuts.

USC guys - I’ll trade you embarrassing upsets. Stanford a Pac-10 team as the greatest upset ever? Please. We all know what it is and forever will be.
The fact that we even had a chance at a game-winning FG just to have it yanked away made that agony that much greater.
