    I'll try my best to boycott the San Diego County Credit Union here on the East Coast. It may be tough but I'll get by.

    Great, now Clay is gone. The only time we'll hear about college football is when someone's dong is exposed.

    Frankly, we're not the ones who should boycott.


    Imagine if, after all its whining, Texas actually bailed out and took a non-BCS game with Boise State instead, leaving the Fiesta to court the remote Texas Tech fanbase instead of the huge UT one. You'd get media coverage up the wazoo, lost BCS revenue, a huge new fanbase for UT (everyone who hates the BCS) and probably a few siphoned votes for the National Championship awarded to the Boise-Texas winner.

    @FozzieBear: great idea. I'm sure then the Fiesta Bowl/ BCS out of spite might not have taken another Big 12 team and might have goen with Oregon St. who travels well and is closer to Tempe. by not taking Texas Tech they ewould ddeprive the Big 12 of all the moey from having another team in a BCS game. This moeny gets divided among the 12 schools.

    @HugsFromHarold: Yup. That's the downside. Boycotts are never painless. For example, I love Tostitos.


    Plus Oregon State would pull crap ratings. And the selection of a four-loss team would make the BCS an even bigger farce than it already is.


    Seriously, it's not like they'd have to do this for a decade. Once would be enough to blow things up real good. And it doesn't even have to happen at this stage on the season. All it takes is one fed-up major conference bailing on the system, and it would crumble.

    Tostitos aren't the problem. Frito-Lay is the problem. And you will pry this can of bean dip out of my cold, dead fingers, sir.

    So if FedEx is your employer's package delivery service of choice, you should just refuse to sign for anything, and maybe even beat the delivery guy with his own clipboard for good measure.

    I'm going to assume Trojan, Durex, and LifeStyles are all sponsoring the BCS, and thus am going to stop using their products.
