And another thing...

We've got to get into a BCS conference. Overall our program has done very well with the talent that's left over after the BCS teams take their pick. But yesterday's game is an example of how superior the talent is even on a run of the mill BCS conference team versus our mid-major championship team. The Kentucky bowl game also proves that point.


That's been the most disappointing thing about being a pirate fan these last 25 years. I've watched teams like VT, South Carolina, South Florida and Cincinnati join BCS conferences and improve. The irony is our fan base is and always has been way more supportive than a shitload of BCS teams. Our facilities are more impressive, the football atmosphere more intense, the mascot is totally awesome, and purple and gold are God's favorite colors. Given access to better recruits, I'm convinced we'd be a perennial top 25 team. I mean, Cincinnati put 70 points on the board yesterday. Does anyone in Cincinnati or anywhere else give a %@!# about the &$!@ing Bearcats, $%!@ no!!!!

I am more bitter than Robb.

ps..I love the Pirates. They will beat UNC.
