Currently, I’m torn. College Football vs. the NFL. Both seasons had a lackluster start, no statistical explosions from top fantasy football picks in the NFL and the marquee match-ups on national TV for college football haven’t panned out (OSU vs. USC anyone?). With only two top 25 match-ups on the docket for tomorrow, it might be another uneventful day of college football.
However, I would like to go back a week. If you caught the first quarter of the Washington Huskies game versus the Oklahoma Sooners before switching over to OSU/USC, you witnessed a 13-0 margin built by the Sooners. Not bad. But it got worse. 34-0 at halftime worse. And 55-14 final worse. Now, I don’t want to rip on the Huskies too much - they were a banged up and young team - I didn’t expect them to beat the No. 3 team in the country. I would expect them to have a little common sense about the game though.
Evidently not, judging by this shirt and the decision making abilities of someone at the university’s athletic apparel department. Yes, the “Defend Your House!” shirt made specifically for the UW/OU game last week is still on sale. For the low price of $19.99 you can remember this game forever, buy them here. It’s essentially like investing in the Nader/Gonzalez ‘08 campaign, I’m sure they make shirts for that pending failure too.
If I was a oppomistic UW fan and bought this shirt before last week’s game, I would have partaken in a ceremonial burning the moment I left the stadium. And yes, that would have been at halftime. UW is enjoying a bye week, but will take their frustrations out on Stanford next week - down with the Cardinal!

I don’t have a lot of room to talk because my WSU Cougars are having a rough season as well but that shirt is just fucking ridiculous.
Whoever designed and made that thing should be fired.
