Vindication, sort of ...
Yahoo! Sports published a fantastic investigation this week showing officials blew at least two critical calls in the 2006 Rose Bowl National Championship Game presented by Citi.
"The biggest fumble in last season's epic national championship game between Texas and Southern California didn't occur on the field. It happened in the instant replay booth," Yahoo! Sports Josh Peter wrote.
"The error at the Rose Bowl was not mechanical, as the supervisor of officials told ABC broadcaster Keith Jackson. It was a human blunder, one that might have impacted the outcome of Texas' 41-38 victory, a game decided in the final seconds."
Check out the rest of the article and two others. Rush to Judgement
Which leads my to today's word: I knew it. OK, that's three words, but I still feel a sense of vindication because I knew there was shennanagins afoot.
However, it does little good to point out the shennanagins now seeing as how the game is over and has been over for 10 months.
A BIG wag of the finger to The Big Ten for stealing a National Championship from the Trojans.
So how do we obtain sweet justice for January's crime against humanity? A two-point plan that starts with Trojans winning out this season, and going to the 2007 Tostitos BCS National Championship Game.
The second part of my plan is burning down every Big-Ten University so they get the picture not to fuck up another team's mojo. The second part will also include making 1970 Kent State look like MTV's Spring Break in Cabo.
What does everyone think? Who's with me?

On a separate note, football season hasn't been the same this year. Every Saturday I don Cardinal and Gold and root for the old Alma Mater, but since there's no one else around me who knows there's a football other than that Gay sport soccer, it's not the same.
There's a good side to that as I didn't want to cry or kill anything when SC lost to Oregon State.
This weekend, however, I will be back in my obsessed gameday mode listening to the big game, USC versus Notre Dame, over the internet at 3:30 a.m., Sunday, my local time for the game.
I will fry up some snacks and of courses, have plenty of ice cold beer ready as the Trojans hopefully rout the Fighting Irish. Hopefully it will be Bloody Sunday Part II.

You grab the matches, I'll grab the map and enough gasoline to make the Big Ten schools look at flaming as San Francisco!!!
I knew you would be there with me.
