Do I live in a bubble?

Turned on the radio and heard the Bama homer motherfuckers on WNSP babbling about how this Saturday is the most anticipated college football game in history. That everyone is talking about it non-stop. Nobody can get enough of it. How it overshadows last season's national title game. And the 2009 game, too because that was a lock. Everybody in their right mind knew Alabama was going to dominate Texas. And most expected Auburn to dominate Oregon. Nobody cared about those games like they care about this one. It's all anybody thinks about and maybe that's partly because the state doesn't have the minor distraction of an Auburn game, but still even if there WERE an Auburn game this epic brawl would dwarf anything else in the sporting sphere...

Really?

Other than a few diddly shits on the radio I haven't heard one single thing about it at all. Nobody I know has mentioned it. I've had football conversations about Auburn, about the NFL, about Cam needing a better supporting cast, talked about LaRussa retiring, discussed the painfully obvious fact that Boston needs to cut ties with Papi, talked about Petrino and how much the folks in Arky love him.

Oh sure it's on TV being pimped. And the radio guys are sucking jizz by the gallon I'm sure. But out in the world among the regular people? Nobody seems to care all that much.

What I find amusing is if you subtract Alabama, then add Auburn to the equation, it would be

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED
and anybody in the sports world NOT talking about

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED
would therefore be drizzling douches who didn't know shit about sports, or something to that effect.

Seriously though, the game is definitely being made out to be more than it really is. It's almost ridiculous. But I don't know why you would be surprised that a big game that will be played in Alabama is being talked about by a sports radio station in Alabama. But then again, you had to have SOMETHING to whine about today.

Fuck you.

The whining you hear is the high bleating of the goat as you enter it. You hear it a lot.

That high pitched noise? I thought that was the sound of

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED

flying at our faces at warp speed, until

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED

epically energizes Tuscaloosa with three million gigawatts of pure awesomeness. Scientists have said that

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED

is going to be the biggest event since the Big Bang.

In other news,

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED

is expected to cure AIDS and create 8 billion jobs. No worries about an over-abundance of jobs, though, because

THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED

will impregnate every single female on the planet...twice.

ESPN is reporting that
THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYEDis expected to triple the combined total viewership of The Royal Wedding, The Kardashian Wedding, The Appolo 13 Landing, The 1996 Summer Olympic Games, The Series Finale of M*A*S*H, The Roots Mini-series, The Who Shot JR Episode of Dallas, Princess Diana's funeral, Super Bowls I through XLV, and last year's World Cup...in the first 30 seconds.

There is already a major motion picture scheduled for a theatrical release on November 6, 2011 to be entitled
THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED: The Motion Picture
The film will star Chuck Norris and Epic Beard Man in the roles they were put on this earth to play. Marlon Brando arose from the dead for the opportunity to be a part of this film. The film will be a frame-by-frame recreation of the actual ESPN broadcast, but on a $600 million budget. Not only will the film be universally lauded by critics, but the entire internet message board community will universally agree that it was the greatest film of all time, and not once will it be referred to as "lame", "gay", or "worst...movie...ever". The movie will be a sequel to Snakes on a Plane.

It is theorized that
THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYEDwill spawn a new world religion which will replace Christianity as most popular in the world by 2014. In this religion Saban is analogous to the Christian Satan, and Les Miles is analogous to the personification of Hindu Karma. The game itself is seen as when the world "truly began". November 5, 2012 will be known as Year 1 A.T.G.G.E.T.B.P.

Watch it be a blowout by the 2nd Qtr, then the winner (uat) gets beat by MSU & AU. LSU wins out & goes to the SEC Championship Game only to get beat by UGA or USCe. Then we get to watch Boise State vs Stanford for the BCS National Championship.

Immediately following the THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED, tickets to the game, programs, and plastic cups from the concession stand will become a universal form of currency that will replace gold. An actual game ticket could pay off the national debt, as well as purchase the Coca-Cola Corporation and the People's Republic of China.

NASA has announced that a live broadcast of THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED will be sent out to space as a peace offering to any possible alien lifeforms. However, as no one could have expected, an alien civilization 700 billion lightyears away will harness the power of the game in order to create a vessel in which to travel to Earth for the sole purpose of surrendering itself to our clearly superior race and submitting themselves to slavery.

Playing THE GREATEST GAME EVER TO BE PLAYED backwards will unveil all of life's mysteries, including the location of Jimmy Hoffa's tomb, the true identity of John F Kennedy's assassin, and the meaning of life. It will also trigger a sensory reaction in the brain that simulates exactly the experience of receiving fellatio from Olivia Munn and Jessica Alba simultaneously. However, this will be considered boring compared to watching it normally.

Hey, are you guys aware that LSU plays Alabama this weekend? Is either team ranked? I've been watching CBS and ESPN to see when it's played, but I can't seem to see anything about it.

No way in hell that MSU beats Alabama. Not. Happening.

I won't even guess on the Iron Bowl. Even though the favorite usually wins, it's always a fairly close game and can be unpredictable. Plus, I think it brings bad juju to try and pick the winner.
