I know, I should leave it alone, but Tyler sent this to me and I thought it was pretty funny. Special thanks to 1280 the zone for a funny song. Give it a listen.

I know I shouldn't be happy, but...

As a U fan, I know I shouldn't be happy about BYU's spanking at the hands of TCU, but I am having a really hard time getting this smile off of my face. Of course it would have been great to have the Y and the U both be undefeated on November 22. We would have had College Gameday back in town, there would have been huge implications for the game, not just the MWC title at stake, and it would have been a great game. However, the U has been receiving no love in the polls of late, and as a result we have no shot at making the National Championship Game, BYU had a shot, however slim.* As a result, the best the U can hope for is a trip to a BCS game (our second trip), at our current ranking and assuming we do go undefeated, we don't need BYU to be undefeated when we play them. As a result, I am absolutely ecstatic to see BYU's BCS dreams once again go down the crapper. Go Utes!!!


*As for whether a MWC team deserves to be in the National Championship Game I will reserve my tirade, but suffice it to say that as long as there is one undefeated from a real BCS conference (none of this ACC or Big East crap) and a one-loss SEC team, there is no justification for having a MWC team in the game. I don't know, but I might even think that a two loss SEC team would deserve it more, depending upon against whom those two losses were received. I'm not saying the in the future the MWC could not be justified in sending a team, but we need more seasons like this where we beat up on the BCS conferences. It needs to be consistent for us to be taken seriously.
