quote:

For six months of the year, baseball fans who don't live on the Amtrak Northeast Corridor have New York and Boston shoved down their throats. Now, college football fans who don't live on the Gulf Coast must stomach a national championship mandated by the SEC-industrial complex. The rest of the nation hears the Southeastern Conference boast of its five consecutive national championships and fumes. But at least, in each of those five games, the rest of the nation had an opponent on which to pin its hopes. This season, college football did what Major League Baseball hasn't had the stones to do just yet. We still haven't seen the Yankees and the Red Sox in a World Series. But for the first time in modern history, two teams from the same league will play for the national championship. And not just any league, but the SEC, the one that has the evidence to show it's the best league in college football but lacks the discretion not to brag about it. The 99 percent must sit there for the next seven weeks and take it. The 99 percent could Occupy Bourbon Street if they could handle being trapped amid wall-to-wall Tigers and Tide fans. The fan bases that descend upon New Orleans will spew their enthusiasm at each other until their league and its legitimacy is challenged. At which point purple and crimson alike, fueled by Pat O'Brien's, will join in lungstep, chanting "S-E-C! S-E-C!"


He makes it sound as if the vast majority of the country didn't want this rematch. I didn't realize that the majority of the voters in the harris, coaches, and AP polls lived in the gulf south. good to know

He's from Mobile, but he went to school at STANFORD.
He's not an SEC fan at all.

He acts like the SEC made the decision to have two SEC teams play. He better look at his own ESPN for pushing that shite.

I figured Maisel liked having things shoved down his throat.

Well, despite the fact that the vast majority of the country wanted the OSU/LSU game, as shown in many online polls, who cares what this guy says?
