Obama could have done even better in the South if he had amplified his anti-BCS stance during the election. The SEC is by far the best conference in College football and gets cheated each year.
I think many members of Team Bear believe they are infallible.
does the catholic churcch still reckon that the pope is infallible or did they drop that theory?
“Better to marry than to burn.”
War, famine, Aids, H1N1, terrorism, global warming, North Korea, Iran and at the top of President Obama’s agenda ……. College Football!!!

AP NewsBreak: Obama Urged to Investigate BCS

Washington (AP) — Sen. Orrin Hatch is asking President Barack Obama to launch a Justice Department investigation into college football’s Bowl Championship Series over antitrust laws.
Hatch tells the president in a letter Wednesday that a “strong case” can be made that the BCS violates antitrust laws.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.
Under the BCS system, some conferences get automatic bids to participate in top-tier bowls while others don’t, and the automatic bid conferences also get far more of the revenue.
Hatch represents Utah, and he says the current system unfairly discriminates against some conferences. The BCS has said it simply recognizes the teams people want to watch. Neither the White House nor the Justice Department has an immediate comment.
IJ- I think you’re right about that. ALthough being single and childless hasn’t helped me much in my radical self-reinvention attempt to get rich 🙂
“the magic chalk mark has been obliterated ”
What does that mean, Arkady?
I suspect that it certainly means that the Pope is going to take an even more conservative stance on things in the future.
The church should try and get that great restaurant at St. Bart’s!!!!
“don’t impose it on those of us who don’t believe in the same things.”
Especially at my front door on Sunday mornings. This is the 3rd time I’ve had my iron work on the stoop refurbished & the magic chalk mark has been obliterated – cue the evangelists! Never fails. I’m going to lacquer over it next time.
