Just read Rick Reilly's column on ESPN.com and I can tell you that the expletives flying through my head have not stopped.

Quote:Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (+40) at No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide -- Western Kentucky is a tremendous team full of stud athletes, many of whom will either be in the NFL next year or in the MIT nuclear science program, or both.
Sure, Alabama has more than 30 players in the NFL right now and Western Kentucky has one, but that's probably because most NFL scouts don't know where the Hilltoppers' dynasty resides (near Russellville, I think). Alabama has never played there.

And, yes, Alabama is coming off a so-called "national championship" and has 13 so-called "returning starters," but with the state of American media being what it is, I bet they don't have any hunger left at all!

And don't forget Western Kentucky has won eight of its last nine, none against BCS teams but many against schools that have yet to drop football.

This one is like Lady Gaga: It could go either way.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Sure, he's trying to be funny, but I do NOT like this, at all. He went on do put down Fresno State, New Mexico, and Savannah State as well... All this because Nick Saban got upset about the media not respecting those schools. And you know what? This type of STUPID write-up is exactly the BULL**** that he's talking about. If you can't tell I am pissed. Very much so.

I love how most people hate the BCS, yet a lot of the media personnel at the national level in one instance talk about how they don't like the BCS, yet love to talk down to all of the non-AQ conferences.

And for Reilly, I'm not sure if he saw but the UA-WKU score was 35-0. Remember the UA-UM game? 41-14. Guess WKU wasn't as bad as you joked - badly - about. lol. Idiot.
