Evil Finds Evil

Seems fitting that the BCS would hire Ari Fleischer to promote it:

They hired former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer for a reason, and it wasn't because they enjoyed watching his work on CNN in the early days of the Bush 43 administration. So far, Fleischer and his minions have served only to enrage fans further by creating a Facebook page and a Twitter feed that severely underestimate the customers' intelligence. Now, they're going to earn their money. The BCS hired Fleischer because he can navigate the halls of power in Washington, not because he makes a mean Facebook page.

What, Karl Rove and G. Gordon Liddy not available?

Buckeyes Lose......Oh Well

Certainly, the thought of another Buckeyes run at the national championship was fun. However, this isn't nearly as disappointing as the Indians' collapse against the Red Sox, for a few reasons:

-this team wasn't supposed to be this lights-out to start with. It is common wisdom that teams in the National Championship never make a return the following year, simply because of the graduation of most major players and the need to "rebuild". That Ohio State has proven itself this good after the "game" (stupid Florida) in January of this year is encouraging, both for what next year may look like and for the proven worth of Tressel-ball.

-Great as Tressel-ball is, THE Ohio State University is less than good against the SEC (0-9 I believe), and as desperately as I wanted a Bucks-Ducks title game (which would have been OK to lose), I was absolutely dreading getting our butts handed to us by LSU. Now that OSU is seemingly eliminated from the BCS title game, GO DUCKS!!!

-Finally, if Ohio State can just do its business against the hated Wolverines next week, a BCS bowl is locked up (I remember hanging out with Erik a few years ago watching Montana-Montana State and WaSu-Washington playing for the Apple cup and joking, "you know, Ohio State and Michigan play for something too - it's called the Big 10 title").
