Utah and Boise State ruined everything.
Once upon a time, it was manly to stay up at night and wonder if the BCS Buster was a myth or something we’d actually witness in our lifetimes. Then Utah had to burst our bubble while Boise State came along shortly after to rub it in our face. Quite frankly, the very thought of another midmajor making it into the BCS this year sounds like a total yawnfest.
Unfortunately, with Colt Brennan’s announcement to return for his senior season, the Hawaii Rainbows seem to have a chance at doing it all over again this year. With a schedule like their’s, the question isn’t “Can they go undefeated?”, it’s “How will they celebrate?” After all, they’re currently planning on building a shrine to immortalize their glorious team of 1999 that went 9-4 with “an Iwo Jima-style memorial” to ensure “that Hawaii would never be forgotten in the history of NCAA football.”
We imagine they’ll immortalize an undefeated 2007 team somewhat like this:

At Hell2DaNaw, we strongly believe in equality in college football. Upsets are what make the game great, so we like to pay tribute to the little guys. It can’t all be about traditional powerhouses like Notre Dame, Miami, Oklahoma, and Duke. As a result, our 2007 previews will go beyond the BCS conferences to include the rest of D-1A. And not just popular ones like Boise State and Rutgers. All of them. Every last shitty school.
On that note, this post will profile those Titans from Tiretown, the Akron Zips. It is a very difficult existence for the handful of MAC schools that operate in the shadow of Ohio State. Still, some manage to collect the leftovers and put together a somewhat competitive team. Usually one will crack the “other votes” section of the Top 25 polls or pull off a big upset like almost beating Michigan. Akron isn’t there yet, but I went undefeated with them in NCAA 07, so that’s enough reason for me to be optimistic about their prospects for this season.
Fear the Roo, Bitches!

Now that you’ve got an idea on how to act with contempt should the glorious SEC choose your school, and how to have a marching band that won’t get you sanctions from the NCAA, now you have to choose a team name and mascot. Its tedious and very difficult, as there are probably people pushing you every which way. Here’s some tips to keep in mind:

Every year, someone starts worrying about the death of college football and how the sport is being killed by someone or something. One year it’s the referees, the next it’s the new clock rules, then it’s TV timeouts, or possibly it’s sponsorship. However, the problem with the people making these arguments is that they’re idiots. None of these are the true problem with college football. The true problem has been sneaking up on the horizon for years, and suddenly burst upon the scene with great force last season. Not unlike Pennywise from Stephen King’s It, it lies in wait for the unsuspecting public, and then rises from its lurking place to lay the death blow to the sport that we’ve come to know and love. Of course, the only threat I could possibly be talking about are mid-majors. Read the rest of this entry »
