A Public Service Announcement from DoJ

DoJ tries to head off further racial strife with clever PSA

Eric the wad Holder’s DoJ is out investigating every situation where a black man was killed by a white guy for “civil rights violations.”  White Hispanic George Zimmerman is, as far as I know and I’m too lazy to Google it, still under DoJ investigation for shooting petty thug, thief and drug user Trayvon Martin.  Darren Wilson and the entire Ferguson police department are under DoJ investigation for the shooting death of petty thug, thief and drug user Michael Brown.  The NY City police department and Officer Pantalono are under DoJ investigation for the death of Eric Garner. 

Investigators are getting thin at DoJ.  44 FBI agents were sent to Ferguson alone to dig up dirt on Wilson and the Ferguson PD.  So in an effort to get a handle on these kinds of cases and head them off at the pass, the wad Holder’s public affairs office surprisingly has released this public service message.  It’s so simple, it might just work.  

College football

I are a gradeeate of The Ohio State University, so I’m glad that they were placed in the 4 team bracket for the national championship of college football.  That said, their rise to #4 and TCU’s fall to #6 are a bit baffling.  Last week the committee vaulted TCU from #4 to #3 past undefeated FSU.  This week having beaten Houston handily, TCU falls from #3 to #6?  Many say the fall is justified if The OSU is going to #4 because Baylor beat TCU 61-58 during the season.  OK fine.  I agree, but the committee had that evidence last week.  What changed this week?

If The OSU’s masterful beat down of Wisconsin with a third string QB was enough to get them into the bracket, shouldn’t they have jumped #4 FSU and #3 TCU been left pretty much alone?  No.  You can’t disqualify the defending and still undefeated national champs – even if you desperately want to.  So shouldn’t The OSU have been placed in the bracket at #3?

The committee and the 4 team playoff scheme were supposed to take the drama out of the college national football championship.  It added to the mess.  There’s already talk of an 8 team playoff system. 

It’s all BS.  The system should revert to traditional the inter conference matchups in bowl games.  Had they not messed with the system, Oregon would be playing The OSU in the Rose Bowl and Alabama could match up with FSU in the Orange Bowl.  Baylor and TCU could get top tier opponents in the Cotton and Fiesta Bowls.  Then after New Year’s Day games the committee could meet and make a BS decision as to which two teams will meet for the national championship - a decision that is still going to PO a team or two who won bowl games against worthy opponents but are not selected.  Lex’s method would at least give the committee another game against a quality out of conference opponent to base its decision upon.

One thing we know for sure, if you’re making predictions for 2015, put that “The Big 12 will have a conference championship game in 2015” at the top of your list – it’s probably as sure a thing as anything else you might come up with.  If not a championship game at least a system of tie breakers that assures that there will be no more “co-conference champs” in the Big 12.  It seems to me a no-brainer that everything else being equal, the team that won the head to head match up would be declared conference champ.  But we live in a time were everyone gets a trophy, so the Big 12 probably thought it best to hand out as many of them as possible.  It killed them during Sunday’s selection process.  And neither Baylor nor TCU is happy today about a co-conference championship.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Baylor put the trophy on the campus quad and allowed students to pee on it for $5 a shot.  It’d be great fund raiser for a worthy cause.   Then they could allow Baylor coach Art Briles to tie a rope to it and drag it behind his car for a year.  But hey coach you gave up 58 points and 600 yards against TCU…so.
