PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: 2009 FBS National Championship
ONE DAY UNTIL KICKOFF! Anyone see the sign in the Boise State crowd advertising this Web site last night? I'd probably take them more seriously if they could spell Orrin Hatch's name correctly. Oh, well. If you have enjoyed this project of mine at all, you might as well wander over there and vote...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: Final Four
TWO DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Wow, the Big 12 flops are getting kind of old. Especially Oklahoma's perpetual underachieving over the last six playoff years. Today's Games Game 1: No. 3 Texas Longhorns (13-1) VS. No. 2 Florida Gators (14-1) Tostitos Fiesta BowlUniversity of Phoenix Stadium - Glendale,...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: Elite Eight
THREE DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Rose Bowl: With both Penn State and USC advancing to the Elite Eight, the north side of the bracket was the obvious pick for the "Granddaddy of 'em All." Fiesta Bowl: That left the "taco chip bowl" with a shot at Ohio State and Texas - just like in real life. Today's...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: Sweet Sixteen (Day 2)
FOUR DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Sugar Bowl: Although No. 1 seed Oklahoma's region was available with the first pick, the Sugar Bowl stuck with its SEC affiliations in taking Florida's region. Holiday Bowl: The Holiday Bowl got a rare treat - if Texas advances, it would mark one of the few times that bowl...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: Sweet Sixteen (Day 1)
FIVE DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Cotton Bowl: With the second pick, the Cotton Bowl took Oklahoma's region, nabbing the overall No. 1 seed and the top-ranked Big 12 team. Capital One Bowl: The Capital One Bowl then took the remaining SEC team, Alabama, after the Sugar Bowl took Florida off the board. ...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '08: Selection Sunday
SIX DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Well, we've almost caught up to the real world in the Protest Playoff, and with the 2009 kickoff only six days away, it's not a moment too soon. Last week's media drama derailed my plans to finish this cumbersome project then, but I feel confident I can wrap this thing up in...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '07: 2008 FBS National Championship
15 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Disaster averted. Narrowly. I swear that was the first result. Good thing, too, or would have re-simmed the damn thing. :-) Let's hope this is a good omen that augurs the end of Lewcifer's dark tyranny over our fair state. No. 8 USC Trojans (13-2) VS. No. 7 Kansas...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '07: Final Four
16 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Words fail me. I seem to remember some accusations of homer-ism from other fan bases the first two weeks I did this, when K-State won it all both times. Well, I think it's safe to say my objectivity is no longer in question. Allowing The Team That Shall Not Be Named to...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '07: Elite Eight
17 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Orange Bowl: The Orange Bowl chose the north side of the bracket in order to be guaranteed either its tie-in, ACC champion Virginia Tech, or home-state team Florida. Rose Bowl: Of course, this pissed off the Rose Bowl immensely because it cost them a guaranteed shot at...
PROTEST PLAYOFF '07: Sweet Sixteen (Day 2)
18 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF! Fiesta Bowl: Oh, like the Fiesta was going to take a chance on Kansas and Missouri's Johnny-come-lately fan bases? (Good call in Mizzou's case, since they got "upset" already.) Please - Oklahoma all the way for the guys in the yellow blazers. And if Arizona State pulls off...
