How exhilarating were those two BCS games last night, huh? It sure was awesome to see top notch teams playing such high caliber football against one another, wasn’t it?

For our money it just doesn’t get any better than a Pete Carroll / Ron Zook coaching matchup. Or a JV offensive line versus a SEC defense for that matter. Another sweeping victory for the BCS.

Look, even your grandmother bitches and moans about the BCS. Everyone knows it sucks. Google the subject and you’ll find a million sites offering their opinion on the system’s ineptitude. But it’s not changing, so whatever. We’re not going to bitch and moan about it.

What we are going to bitch and moan about are the crotchety old bastards that run the Rose Bowl. These blazer-wearing, cigar-smoking, old money assholes are killing our bowl watching experience by continually pitting Pac 10 and Big 10 teams against each other in the Rose Bowl. They blatantly care more about staging a kick ass parade than a kick ass football game. And as far as we’re concerned there is no room for that mentality in America. Move to Europe if you want to prioritize like that.

Not only did satisfying their homer quota by inviting a team a Big 10 team coached by Ron Zook completely fuck up the Rose Bowl, it also resulted in a wave of crappy matchups that turned what could have been a tremendous Bowl Season into a mediocre one. Just imagine nursing your New Year’s Eve hangover to the tune of a USC/Georgia matchup. Marvelous, huh?

And wouldn’t you have felt much better about the whole thing if Hawaii and a team like Kansas or Missouri just went and played each other at a time and place you didn’t have to concern yourself with? But hey, you’re just the fan, what does your opinion matter?

We guess what we’re essentially saying is that if you see one of the wrinkly, cranky Rose Bowl delegates walking the streets or visiting their cardiologist, feel free to kick them in the balls or screw with their pacemaker. It’s really the only option at this point.
