If the NCAA Rules Committee is going to fucking put a goddamn rule affecting the---pardon us. We have a problem with authority, especially when it comes to things we can't possibly control. Better to let the split personalities of this website speak on their own than clutter the channel with both. In turn, gentlemen.
VOLTAIRE: Let the small man climb a staircase of petty rules to rule from the shoulders of giants, for this is what he must do. Let competition should be perverted by etiquette; let the sprinter pause and let the mob catch him for a moment's exuberance.
If one should take a rule that alters the outcome of a game, a thousand flowers bloom in the fields of reinvention. A punt could be too arrogantly lofty, and so better to call it back ten yards and have the gentleman kick with dignity and reserve rather than boastfully booting his team across the field in a braggart's pantaloons. A score to put a team up by a margin of thirty-five could be penalized. What better example of unsportsmanlike arrogance is there? Is that not worth penalizing, too, as it amounts to legalized taunting in cloaked form?
Let us be total in this matter. No oranges, reds, or other jarring colors on uniforms, as they are too bright and brash. Ban passes over 30 yards, since they clearly mock the cornerback lacking speed to keep up with them. Field goals over fifty yards would be reduced to two points for their insolence.
Finally, let us give the referees of college football, all long craving the opportunity to demonstrate their keen appreciation for subtle mime and dance, the opportunity to randomly interpret new rules under great duress and at high speed and alter the outcomes of games. If college foot-ball, as you colonists call it, is to be successful, one should make sure the officiating and rule of law is applied as fairly and frequently as it is in other successful sports like the NBA.
Now if you will excuse me, I must flee to Switzerland for fifteen years, as the Royal Security Forces have thrown a flag on my latest quip about the king, religion, and a metaphorical donkey. Au revoir.
FIREHORSE (after the jump) (because if we're going to channel all-caps, @ZODIAC_MF rage, we might as well give you the option of not seeing it where tender eyes could be offended by the other side of EDSBS' personality.)

IT'LL BE LIKE WATCHING TWO SLOTHS FUCK WITH THE GRAVITY SET ON HIGH AFTER THEY ATE FIVE COURSES OF ASSDESTROYING GOLDEN CORRAL FOOD INCLUDING THEIR FAMOUS RIBLETS SHIT THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD. IT'LL BE LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY IN MIAMI IN JULY. IT WILL MAKE THE CORPSE OF BOBA FETT PASSING THROUGH THE GEOLOGICALLY SLOW DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF THE SARLAAC WAKE UP AND SAY "HOLY SHIT ARE THEY EVER GOING TO FINISH THIS GAME AND BY THE WAY IT SUCKED THAT I DIED IN SUCH A SHIT MANNER AFTER BEING SUCH A BADASS SECONDARY CHARACTER."
