For those of you that moan when you see a sports post... this probably isn't for you.

First of all, ESPN.com has released the projected top 25 NCAA Football standings (according to Pat Forde) for the 2005-2006 season. Who may you ask sits atop this mountain of talent? What mighty team could be in line to wreak havoc on the college game next season, eventually taking home that horrible looking glass football?


You guessed it, the West Virginia Mountaineers. Seems like an easy pick to me. Slaton and White dominated the Big East in their positions and then waxed Georgia in their own backyard. With the Big East weakened and VA Tech off the schedule for the first time since man walked upright, an undefeated season really should be a gimmie. The question then becomes, "Will West Virginia play for the title or be left sitting on the sidelines, Auburn-style?" That will, of course, depend on pre-season rankings... which sucks.

On another note, as I'm sure you're all aware, the SuperBowl teams have been assigned. It will be an historic matchup, a battle for the ages, quite possibly the greatest SuperBowl in the history of the game... of course, to be honest it'll probably be the most boring thing to ever hit television.

But there are the top 7 reasons to be excited (and to cheer for the Seahakws).

1. After this season we probably won't have to look at Jerome Bettis any longer. The talented and oh, so hungry Bettis will probably be looking to get out of the game after this season, so just look at it as one more game and he's gone forever... which brings me to number two.

2. Ruin Jerome's day. The 2nd half of the season and playoff ride has been something of a storybook finish for Pittsburgh. They had to win every game at the end of the season to make the playoffs, they did. They had to beat the #1, 2, and 3 teams in the AFC on the road to make it to the Superbowl, they did. And now they get to play for the title in Jerome's home town of Detroit. Damn, I just get teary-eyed thinking about it... jackass.

I found this picture while searching for a Bettis pic. It's from a guy that sell original paintings of Martin Luther King, Kramer and Jerome Bettis. That may be the strangest thing I'll see today.

3. The Steelers suck, and I hear that they commit violent crimes in the off-season.

4. Bill Cowher worships the devil.

5. Troy Polamalu once refused to give up three inches of his hair to knit a wig for a young cancer patient. He then kicked the girl in the stomach and ran off chanting something about Satan.

6. Ben Roethlisberger sells Chinese Babies on the black market.

7. Shaun Alexander, baby! Just imagine, Shaun wins the SuperBowl MVP trophy and gives shout outs to his homies back in the K-Y!


So anyway, let's go Seahawks! It's hard to get excited, I know, but try. Really, give it a shot. You can do it, I swear.

Worst SuperBowl Ever.

One last thing. I got this in an email from Kevin over the weekend, I found it to exceptionally funny, so I'll share:

The Jim Ross Award for Best Moment that Could Have Been Made into a
Fantastic Story Line

To Mike Vanderjagt for shanking that season-ending field goal, which looked
like one of Ali Haji Sheikh's efforts if you were playing the 1982 Giants at
the All-Madden Level and completely screwed up the kicking wheel. After all
of Vanderjagt's problems with Manning over the years, I kept waiting for the
postgame press conference when Vanderjagt pretended to be upset, answered a
few questions, and then suddenly Bill Cowher's music started playing (with
Cowher dressed as Sergeant Slaughter), followed by Vanderjagt breaking into
a big smile, and then the two of them hugging as Jim Ross screamed "No! No!
No! My God, no!" Then Vanderjagt would rip off his Colts jersey to reveal a
Steelers jersey underneath. This would have been one of the five greatest
moments in sports history. And you know what? There's still time.
