"Fiesta" -- Espanol for "Shouldn't Have Lost to Colorado"

So it's Ohio State and LSU. Whatever. Congratulations to the winner, I suppose.

Here's the deal -- OU was beyond spectacular last night in absolutely destroying the #1 (ranked) Missouri Tigers. It was an absolute joy to watch the Crimson and Cream (note the color change -- who reminded the Lions that they were the Lions?) take home another Big XII Championship. Wohoo! And then a little disappointing to come up short in terms of playing for the national championship. But do you know what? They don't deserve to play for the championship because they lost . . . twice. Of course LSU lost twice too, so do THEY deserve it? Nope. But that's what happens when you lose (TWICE) in college football -- close your eyes, clench your fists, and hope for the best. Who DOES deserve it, by the way? Pshhhhhhhh. Nobody, really. Just don't whine about your fate if you lost, that's all I'm saying.

A Big XII Championship, and maybe a Fiesta Bowl, too. That's pretty good. Next year might be even better. And in the meantime, there's still those Celtics . . . .

Am I the only one that thinks "Taco Bell" when they read/see/hear "Fiesta Bowl"?

Ross said...

Fun fact -- Tostito's is actually the official corporate sponsor of the Fiesta Bowl. So close Nick!

Ok, so that fact wasn't all that fun. Whatever.

Luwinkle said...

But Tostito's don't make bowls out of taco-stuff!

Don't be a hater toward LSU man! It is not their fault your team did not make the cut - it is all about respect and LSU has it - sorry for your loss

Anonymous -- I wasn't trying to hate LSU or anybody else, nor did I blame anybody for OU "not making the cut" other than OU! Just saying that, in my mind, a college football team hasn't really "earned" a shot at the championship after losing to Kentucky and Arkansas (or Colorado and TTech, or LSU and S Fla, or Stanford and Oregon, or not beating a single top 25 team [Kansas and Hawaii], or . . .).

Anyway, I loved your work on Hellig Usvart.

(NOBODY is going to get that, but trust me, it's HILARIOUS!!!)

(still trying to think of any LSU fans that I know . . .)

Well hate to disappoint you, but I am not black and don't care much for heavy metal and please no death-threats! And I will continue to remain anonymous unlike Jayson Sherlock, for awhile anyway.

I'm . . . speechless. Is this a joke? Or did you take the time to google Hellig Usvart? Wha? Do I know you? Speechless . . . .
