OH BOY LET'S HAVE SOME FUN

The BCS has a Facebook page and a Twitter feed, too. They can block you on the Facebook side, but making the tweets private is a dicey proposition for someone who is supposed to be engaging the public in forming positive framings of the BCS and reinforcing the necessity of the system in the public sphere to oh my fucking god let's just shoot all the PR people before they can breed.

There is no need for a playoff OBEY.

We've already had some fun with them, and suggest you do the same without following them, because, you know...it would de-emphasize the already important daily updates and cheat the tradition of the bowl system or something like that.

Kudos to you for dragging out “They Live” for a new audience. Isn’t it about time that flick was swept up in the remake fever that’s gripping Hollywood? Er, oh yeah. Go Gators, and stuff.

Thanks to Twitter’s Lists feature, now you can inject your own commentary on @INSIDEtheBCS own page, like Tim Cary:

@TimCary/monopolies In any other sport, teams control own destiny. Win every game all year=national champ. Not here.

I’ve come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum…..and I’m all out of bubblegum.

Wow, did anyone else click through and follow the link to the “Fairness Index” essay? What a horribly reasoned metric and argument.

Wow….lots of space in here….I guess everyone is still over at the KKK posting…

@PDXGoneGator, FUCK NO IT’S NOT! I’d like there to be at least one cult film that Hollywood doesn’t screw up with a high budget, flashy special effects, and a script just slightly dumber than the people staffing the BCS’ PR department.

“oh my fucking god let’s just shoot all the PR people before they can breed.”

Douglas Adams was a bit more subtle with the Golgafrichans.

So the privilege of being this year’s “BCS buster” will be decided by Gary Patterson and Chris Petersen fighting in a back alley for five minutes solid over a pair of sunglasses instead of a football game?

It’d be better if the PR people didn’t consider it their job to insult everyone’s intelligence.

I’m an anti-playoff guy, but I also realize the various ways in which the BCS sucks. My argument—and, I think, the argument of most other sentient anti-playoff guys—is simply that playoffs would suck more, in worse ways. (And that their benefits are oversold, and rely on questionable and oft-unexamined presumptions.) But acknowledging that would be at the same time too subtle and too straightforward for a Golgafrichan.

(Cocktails for bringing up the Douglas Adams shoutout, Counter Trap. Sometimes I think the number of Golgafrichans in our society is much greater than a third…and in some professions, surely much closer to two-thirds.)

My turn: Hey @INSIDEtheBCS, does the fact that I’m not a big time Twitter user mean you would shut me out of the National Title Game?

I’m confused. What does a picture of Joe Cox in a wig and blueface have to do with the BCS?

Can we have a moment of silence for the passing of UGA VII, please? The shortest tenure of any UGA.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence….

expected Twitter entry at the BCS twitter feed any second…

“we’ve asked the 12 people in the office if they want a playoff… and NOBODY said yes…. so we are sticking with what the people want”

i’m not cool enough for twitter. btw, who tweeted from the highlander, in midtown, atl, last saturday? i play the part of “surly kitchen monkey” there.

Example: Say Georgia Tech doesn’t screw the pooch during the Miami game and is currently 11-0. Do we play for the title if we win out? No, of course not. Texas, Florida and Alabama are far more worthy………………….because of the Shut Up That’s Why.

I mean 3/4 of our OOC is the SEC. With that ESSS EEE CEEE speed.

I see the picture and I want to post a “Kick ass and chew bubblegum” comment, but it’s already been done!

Remaking They Live would be a crime. How old is Rowdy Roddy Piper now, anyway? You couldn’t do it without him.

So here’s what they’re up to: asking innocent sounding questions about playoff format, to prove that the lack of consensus on playoff format is just as controversial as their atrocity. Cf. http://adage.com/adages/post?article_id=140655
