Alabama Makes Mississippi State Look Silly

I sort of follow college football, it is true, but not seriously, but more ironically as a hold over from earlier times when I did take it seriously. Actually, I don’t give a damn who wins what, but hell it is something to do on Saturday while I’m resting. American football is a dead-stupid game when you get right down to it, and I think exactly the perfect game for Americans. Maybe I’ll write more about that some other time. Today I just want to admit to my failed prediction:

Checking my prediction that Mississippi State would defeat Alabama on October 22, I was wrong. Very wrong. Alabama defeated MSU 30-6 in a defeat that isn’t accurately reflected in this score because at no point was Alabama challenged in this game. It was silly. MSU was impotent, and Alabama was just out there goofing around and having fun toying with the inferior opponent. This outcome was clear early on in the contest when Alabama scored its first touchdown. The Alabama quarterback juked around for something like a minute with no MSU defender getting within 20 yards of him. He jived over here then juked over there, took a minute to comb his hair, then he fired the ball to a wide-open receiver for the easy score. It was silly.

I shut off the game at that point because sometimes you get confronted with your own wishful thinking and you know that’s what is was. In football, you need 350 lb. dudes on the offensive line that have relative quickness for their size. Alabama has those players. This is one of the many reasons why football is such a braindead stupid game, by the way. All the positions are so specialized that only particular types can play. On the lines, you need 350 lbs, minimum. You need these huge dudes who have to wear knee enhancements to keep their weight from blowing out their knees, then later in life they all croak from diabetes but there’s not much aware of the diabetes because the 10,000 little collisions has mushed up their brains. LOL. Anyway, football is an exceedingly fucking stupid game, perfect for an American audience that sees commercials as the point of it anyway. 4 seconds of action. Now two minutes of commercials. Now announcers talking about stupid shit. 4 seconds of action. Now, refs throw a flag. Now, refs review the last play. More commercials. It’s all so mind-numbing.

Suffice it to say, Mississippi state’s pathetic guys must have weighed in the 300 lb. range because they spent more time on their backs than a $10 whore on payday.
