Ou Football Jerseys, Before kicking off another season, let us take one last look at the season past to remember the good times. And to put the bad ones to a dignified end. Lessons of the past may be useful in preventing failures in the future. Unfortunately, many of the schools that appeared in the 2006 FirstWorst Futility rankings seem destined to stay there.
There are some perennial powerhouses that live among the FirstWorst. The Bleu Devils of Duke know this place well. Although Army and Navy have a fabulous record turning out people who can blow things up and take things from other people, Army can rarely manage to produce more than a 3-and-out on the gridiron. Perhaps this is because their graduates are expected to achieve things and so the best high school recruits go elsewhere. The Army Mules are still trying to convince each other that a victory over Kent State counts as a win.
Losers deserve respect. Without them, Nebraska\'s Cornhucksters would have no schedule. Eastern, Western, Southern, Central, Lower and Upper Michigans would have no way to fund their sports programs. Troy State (who?) financed a good chunk of its athletic budget by sending eleven poor sods to Lincoln in September to bend over for a 56-0 pasting by the Big Red. Nebraska charged admission for this. Big Red fans actually paid.
Being cannon fodder by playing against a top school has its rewards, although winning isn\'t usually among them. The Sage acknowledges that although Montana State\'s Bobcats whipped up on the Colorado B\'lows in their season opener in Boulder, most underdog schools grit their teeth, take the beating and the paycheck. The underdog players and coaches, though, need to question their self respect. Still, the Sage bets that Montana State had fewer players arrested in the offseason than did CU - unless you can get arrested for shooting rabbits in Bozeman.
Losers deserve respect because they may not always be among the best of the worst. The Sage will miss Rutgers. The Knights destroyed years of school tradition last year by sinking to a dismal 11-2 record. The campus still hasn\'t recovered. The monkey wrench the Knights threw into predictions at the start of last year has prognosticators twirling their Cross pens wondering how they got it so wrong. And now sportswriters from CA have to learn to spell \'Piscataway.\' By building a legitimate program, Rutgers has failed fans nationwide and has relegated their program to respectability. A worse fate the Sage cannot imagine.
Losers have their Ou Football Jerseys place in this world. They balance everything. The Sage loves finding tidbits of wisdom and irony in losing football. To these small bits of fun, this column is officially dedicated.
Presented here are the original picks for the ten worst of College Football. Before proceeding, the Sage points out that this list: · Is devoid Ou Football Jerseys of any scientific process · Focuses on but is not limited to BCS teams · Is developed completely at the whim of the Sage of College Football · May contain inappropriate references for underaged readers · May require literate adults to explain the finer points to children or people who paid to see Troy State play Nebraska · Might not have anything to do with an actual football game
Number One - The Poor Blew Devils of Duke
This one is a no-brainer. Basketball schools shouldn\'t attempt football; dunking the ball over the goal posts doesn\'t score any points. Besides, that ball bounces funny. The BDs rose to lofty status of number one on the FirstWorst list by virtue of it\'s sparkling 0-12 record last season. Capped by a season finale loss to rival powerhouse North Carolina, the Bleu Devils stole defeat from the jaws of defeat by coming back to have an extra point blocked late in the fourth quarter to seal the one-point loss. This solid record and the strong finish sets up the Duke Ou Football Jerseys coach - whomever loses and gets the job. - for another splendid recruiting season.
Included in the head coach job description is: \"Study, evaluate and recommend innovations in football strategy and equipment. Required Qualifications at this Level: Education/Training N/A\"
At least the University is realistic. The Sage wonders if it is possible to produce a winner by designing new pants. In any event, the University capped it\'s celebration of the perfect season by adding new stadium parking for over 500 cars. The occupants of said vehicles can anticipate another spectacularly futile season.
