Barack Bumps uglies with the BCS


Well in case you have missed it although I don't know how you could. BARACK OBAMA HATES THE BCS!

Yes kids that is right. Our president elect is ready to throw his weight around and get some real changes done! Screw the economy! Forget global warming! Go club a baby seal!

But all jokes aside I love it. I really do.

What makes me laugh is all the haters out there that complain he is wasting our time talking about the BCS and was just trying to embezzle a few extra votes. The guy is a fan and nothing more. He is in a unique position to actually do something about it; more so than any lowly blogger. Anyone who has ever hated on the BCS should be praising this move. While I doubt that anything will come of it, because sooner or later Obama will start to tackle real problems and the post-election honeymoon will fade away, he just might provide the shot in the arm that anti-BCS guerrillas needed.

Granted, the BCS commissioner has already basically told Barack to back off I hope Obama does not just drop the issue. I hope he keeps pressing and gets a serious dialogue going because lets be honest the BCS is not around to preserve the sanctity of the regular season. You are bullshitting yourself if you believe that and if you believe the nonsense that comes out of John Swofford mouth. The reason we have the BCS, and all subsequent bowls for that matter, is the benjamins baby (money, bucks, dollars or whatever you want to call it). Schools don't just have to make it to the national championship or an exclusive playoff to cash in on their success. A trip to the Orange Bowl or even the Texas Bowl means major dollars for schools that don't exploit their athletes enough.

No I really don't think Barack will bring about the change necessary. Although he does have that catchy slogan about the glove not fitting... I do enjoy seeing our President showing some passion and some heart in a job that might rob him of both. He has at least four and possibly eight years to try and get everything under the sun done for our country. Why not bully the BCS a little?
