Game On! Here's to rooting for chaos in the BCS uggsuggboots.com

RC: Normally, I'd have no dog in the hunt when it comes to Arkansas-LSU and Alabama-Auburn. But I'm rooting for chaos.

Could Virginia Tech, Stanford, Oklahoma State, ugg houston ugg edmonton ugg boots in chicagoHouston and Boise State compete in the Southeastern Conference? Who cares? I've got no truck with the SEC being declared a superior conference, but shouldn't they prove it on the field?

England wasn't ruled out of the Battle of Agincourt because they couldn't get a high enough computer ranking. You never know when you're going to get a muddy field.

TW: First off, let's all acknowledge that the SEC West is worthy of being the NFL's ninth division.

But it's troubling that Alabama's clearest path to the national championship game would be provided by LSU or Arkansas going to the SEC championship game and losing to Georgia. Having a system that benefits an idle team is one more chunk of proof that the BCS is as dysfunctional as the Kardashians.

Sidney Crosby

RC: The two goals and two assists were brilliant, but the best thing was him taking two bone-rattling hits. Sidney Crosby is surely a treasure, but opponentsuggs outlet in ny uggs in texas uggs in houston won't be treating him like fine china. Each time he's hit in the mouth and keeps skating, the closer we get to the real "Sid the Kid."

TW: So Crosby took several months off, doing absolutely nothing, and then jumps back on the ice and is an instant sensation. That's what we have come to expect from him. But who would have ever thought he could provide more action in one night than the NBA is going to give us in an entire season?

Penn State to bowl game

TW: It's obvious that a huge part of the problems at Penn State stems from people choosing to look the other way.

But if there's one saving grace to that scandal, it's that every adult has been forced to think about what they would do if they were suddenly in a similar situation. So, I say, keep Penn State at center stage and make everyone examine the elephant in the room. Keep the light shining on the fungus, and kill it once and for all.

RC: Certainly everyone wants justice. But how does keeping a football team from crowning its season and its students from enjoying the success of its team accomplish that? Justice happens with precision in punishment, not the numbers taken down in collateral damage.

Jay Cutler

TW: For many Chicago Bears followers, it probably seems like Jay Cutler's broken thumb might as well be a raised middle digit. But it's really a rallying point forugg texas ugg philadelphia ugg boots los angeles a team whose defense has a marvelous history of scoring points. And that the Bears once went to a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman running the huddle is proof that this season isn't over for them.

RC: Here is hoping the Bears take the shackles off of Caleb Hanie and let Cutler's replacement be a big-boy quarterback. Trying not to lose is a recipe for losing.

Not to be too Pacino-esque, but "you hold this boy's future in your hands. … It's a valuable future. Believe me. Don't destroy it. Protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you." Whoo-ah.
