BCS’d, and We Like It

It was the famed philosopher and noted overeater Mark Mangino who coined the term, "BCS'd".  In a rant that was not eclipsed until Mike Gundy proclaimed why journalists should come after him, the Kansas football coach took exception to some bad officiating against Texas and surmised that the game had been fixed on behalf of the Longhorns title hopes.  Now the politics of the Bowl Championship Series has penetrated our state, and for today, the people around here couldn't be happier about it.

Personally, I don't get the big deal.  The BCS is supposed to determine a national champion, and going into Bedlam weekend, you would have been informed to believe that the BCS rating was akin to the word of Gary England.  That's rediculous, though.
