Bill Hancock Craps the Bed, Again

As if we, the oppressed college football fans of the United States of America, weren't sick enough of the heinous BCS system and its atrocities, Bill Hancock (the chosen "protector" of the BCS) has opened up a HUGE can of worms and fueled the anti-BCS fire into a blaze of brimstone-like hate for his recent comments. Go ahead and read it for yourself here and draw your own conclusions and ideas from the pile of garbage that it is.

Before I read this, what I perceived as the pageantry and excitement of a bowl game was what made me not want to give up the BCS system. In fact, I absolutely loved it more than any normal person should (read this post and see for yourself). Now I find myself back-peddling faster than a cornerback trying to cover Titus Young. This has made me realize that being able to travel to Mobile, Alabama to see your team play the Ohio Bobcats in the papajohns.com bowl does not make up for them missing out on the chance to prove themselves on the field. Call me a flip-flopper if you want, but a guy is allowed to change his mind when new evidence finds its way to the forefront.

The thing that upsets me the most and is beyond ridiculous is Hancock's tone. "TCU is lucky that they were even able to play in the Rose Bowl" is what he is saying.

If a playoff was in college football, who would be the George Mason? What 12 seed would upset a 5 and find themselves face to face with an Oklahoma or an Auburn? The athletes would tell stories for years and glory in the sack they got on Cam Newton, the interception of a Darron Thomas pass, scoring a TD on LSU, or almost upsetting Ohio State. That is what makes college sports so great. We see it every year in basketball, but not in football. It's not even an arguable point that the BCS is screwing us out of the chance to find a true national champion. But beyond that, it's screwing these players out of chance to make memories and stories that will last in their family lore forever. Miami (OH) vs. Middle Tennessee State does not do it for them like Miami (OH) vs. MIami (FL) would.

The main reason why I like college football better than the NFL is the fact that most of these kids play for the love of the game, for the chance to make the big play, pull the upset, have a chance to compete for something of value and worth, and to have something to enjoy during the stressful college years. Unfortunately, Bill Hancock makes them play his way because he loves money.

The fact that he has to justify himself over and over again in such adamant, condescending ways clearly proves that the system is broken. Our complaints make for a good start, but it's not enough. Eventually the uprising will be too much that not even a few out-of-context and possibly fake quotes from coaches and players that Bill Hancock throws at us will save his money-grubbing system.

It makes me think of Family Guy when during role call at the signing of the Declaration of Independence we learn that John Hancock's name used to be John Footpenis. Thus we see that in fact, Bill Hancock is a giant dick, regardless of the term for male anatomy that is used in his name.
