BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II

US Ranked 4th

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work-including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule-our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner
stated "The US only had two major victories-Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests-they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented
"France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1
ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines .

Excellent, very funny.  And I thought I'd come over here and all I'd read about was ice fishing.

Agreed--- a masterpiece of satire!!!

In their quest for "difference makers", the Johnnies have recruited a couple local players.



I'm going out on a limb and suggest maybe these guys could use some time in the weight room.

Is it true Duffman looked like that as a freshman?

[Klopenhiemer]

Isnt St. Johns recruiting model much different than most of the schools that it competes with.  I was under the impression that St. Johns relied more on kids coming to them vs. beating the bushes and pushing the program on them. 

Klop. You are correct. As J. Esq. pointed out, some of those hotbeds are drying up as most of the kids are multi-sport athletes and some top prospects have gone on to  DI in other sports or in Decker's case FB at U of Minn.

Klop., is it true what I have heard, that you were in the running for the Illinois Senate seat? I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out 

GAC- It appears there may soon be a pipeline of talent from the Minneapolis City Conference to GAC perhaps the sucess and turn around that St. Olaf experienced with the Florida pipeline. Time will tell I guess.

Funny story...I was at the game one of the NLDS this year in Chicago.  Rod comes walking through Wrigley with his entourage.  He is waiving his hands and trying to show how cool he is.  Everyone is booing and screaming at him.  He keeps smiling and walking.  All of the sudden the guy behind be starts screaming at the top of his lungs Rod...Rod...Rod.  He finally get Rod to look his way and he says save the ozone use less hairspray you greasy (explicative)!  I laughed so hard I almost threw up my Old Style. 

Rod's campaign slogan back in 2003 was to rid Illinois of political corruption.  Funny this is he will go down at the most corrupt politician ever in Illinois.  As Mayor Daily would say...That is just sillyness...just plain sillyness!

[Mr. Ypsi]

And being the most corrupt politician in Illinois is not easy!  I grew up there, and in my 60 years (mostly now in Michigan) I think fully half of all governors and secretaries of state have done prison time.  My personal favorite was the S of S (forgotten his name) who died in a motel room in Wisconsin during a tryst with his mistress - something north of $2 million cash was found in shoe boxes in his closet.

Good grief.

[snoop dawg]

I am starting a new bandwagon....Klop for Gov!  

Mr. Y....the best of all time has to be Marion Berry, mayor of D.C.  In the words of Chris Rock,  "man smoke crack, get his job back, can't smoke crack at McDonald's get your job back"

I will go out on a limb and say that Illinois is the most corrupt state in the Union.  Lincoln would roll over in grave if he could see what has become of his homeland.

More tats than the guy on the left, skinnier than the guy on the right.

[snoop dawg]

I think New Jersey makes Illinois look like Camelot.

[retagent]

Klop - Maybe this is all part of Blago's plan. He goes down and rats out all other corrupt politicians in Illinois, thus ridding the state of corruption. Novel idea, but it could work.

Punto signs 2-year deal for $8.5 million.

WTF?

What recession?

The wife is letting me go out for drinks again tonight at Silk Road.  $9 for a pot of Kirin.  There is no recession and Punto is paying.

[OzJohnnie]

And lest you all think that this annual splurge of Christmas partying comes at the expense of my family, reputation and moral well-being, I would like to point out that recognition of my professional efforts made the news in Australia last night.

[tmerton]

Tmerton, I don't believe I have met ROR's Tommie daughter yet. I suppose I should admit that my Badger son is a second year law student at St. Thomas and really likes the school. He was at the Johnnie-Tommie game this fall.

That's where I met ROR's daughter.  She had just come from a moot court type argument (for undergrads).  She should meet your son!
