Hail to the victors

Saturday was sweet.

My college football world was in harmonic convergence with the stars.

First, my two alma maters (almae matri?), Boston College and USC, were televised here in Bozeman, which was a nice treat.

Boston College beat the BYU Mormons in double overtime (speaking of which, the NCAA football overtime system is retarded), taking command of the ACC Atlantic, and proving that God prefers a Jesuit education. OK, so Virginia Tech may eventually have something to say about that later on (ACC Atlantic, not God's preferences- the school has "Tech" in its name... God doesn't care about them), but I will enjoy BC's day in the sun.

Then Dwayne Jarrett and the USC Trojans gut-stomped the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I say "gut-stomped," because they won by 18. And I won two bets on this game, with Charlie and Husker, the latter of whom I gave 17 points.

Oh, but there was icing on the cake of this sweet, sweet day.

The Badgers won, which makes a lot of my friends and family happy... so it makes me happy.

Miami lost. I hate Miami. (Miami's coach is named Larry Coker. That's funny. Enjoy it while you can, he's getting fired.)

But the sweetest of the sweet, sweet icing was Notre Dame getting their sanctimonious, overrated asses handed to them by Michigan. I may hate Miami, but I really hate Notre Dame.

Yay.

Moral of the story?

God is a BC fan, hates Notre Dame and schools with "Tech" in their names.

In other God-related news, it is clear, sunny and 68 degrees today, and the mountains are snow-capped. More snow is expected this week, and Big Sky opens November 23rd.

Thank you.

I'm not feelin' it today, so that's all you get.

In lieu of posting on my blog, I have begun a daily squat-thrust routine designed specifically to beef up my leg muscles for the trip to Big Sky and the assured snow pack that will be waiting. In addition, I have designed an osmotic pump that I can wear while boarding with you that will, on my command, inject a walloping dose of estrogen directly into my carotid arteris when the terrain gets too harrowing. This will give me the courage to bail out onto the smooth green run at the appropriate moment, while also providing me with ample excuse for pulling the rip-cord on the emergency inflatable skirt. "Estrogen bro, shit did me in."

It's a good thing you're not a Bobcat fan (see me rolling my eyes)...And isn't a law somewhere that if you're from Wisconsin you have to be a Packer fan - ergo an Irish fan?
