Oh God No

Two of the worst artists of all time have made a song together, let the Armageddon count down begin. 50 Cent and Soulja Boy have teamed up on a diss track against...anyone. I don't think it goes at anyone in particular so it appears to be a generic "I'm better than you" track. According to a tweet from 50 he believes that this track will " f**k the club up" and he referred to it as "riot music." Far be it for me to attack someone elses music critique, but 50's statements are patently false. The rapping is incredibly weak (it sounds like someone else wrote it and they are reading it for the first time) and the beat is nothing to crazy over. Take a listen below and voice your opinion in the comments.

The NFL is BACK!!!!!!!!!

And you know what that means....NFL picks of the week!!!!!

For those of you who don't know, I do my picks a little differently, so here you go:

Ben's Week 1 NFL Picks!!!!

WTF?

No commentary needed:

And The Winner Is......

THE UNIVERISTY OF GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though there were plenty of reasons to support both Georgia and South Carolina, but ultimately it came down to this:

versus this:

Are you kidding me South Carolina? The chicken (now that I'm against them it's time to start the disses) on your logo is actually kinda trill, but this is how you translate into mascot form? Dude looks like it's wearing a skirt, and those feet, chickens have talons and you give it toeless feet? Weakest sauce ever.

A few of the other reasons that Georgia won out: I don't have to do any actual research to learn about this team, all I have to do is ask Alex about them and he'll drone on for hours, it's perfect! Young Jeezy made a song referencing the Bulldogs which automatically gives them street cred, I was not able to find a similar song for South Carolina. Similar to that, a review of notable alumni revelead the following:

South Carolina: Hootie and the Blowfish (not sure if this is even a good thing)

Georgia: Kim Basinger (nuetral), Alton Brown (awesome), Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse (cool), Wayne Knight aka Newman (...awesome, I guess...), R.E.M. (better than Hootie), Ryan Seacrest (negative, probably cancels out Kim Basinger), a NASCAR driver named Buckshot Jones which is the most baller name ever (awesome)

Buckshot himself, I really pictured him as a grizzly old man, I think it would have been a lot cooler if he was.

Bottom line, Georgia wins that by a landslide. I avoided sports stars (other than Buckshot, but his star power is debatable) intentionally since they both have big sports programs, this was more about the intangibles.

In addition to the reasons above this also gives me more reasons to wear things with an English Bulldog on them since it's probably my favorite breed of dog. I can also wear Georgia clothing and when people ask if I went there I can say "nah, I'm just letting you know I'm a G"

Maybe they have UGA gear for the elderly so I can wear it and say I'm an OG.....

And Another One Bites The Dust

With the college football season starting on Thursday my time to commit to a team is running out so I guess another contender needs to go. In case you've forgotten, the remaing teams are: Oklahoma State, Georgia, and South Carolina. In basketball I like to support mid-majors, but clearly in football I'm BCS all the way, don't really have an explanation for that.

Without further ado, this sucka is outta here (highlight as always):

Oklahoma State University

Who am I kidding, everyone knew it was going to come down to a battle of the Kresovich's with the elder pushing for SC and the ignorant younger one shilling GA. Hoenstly, there wasn't much of a reason to root for OK State in the first place. Yeah there's a family connection, but I don't think they really pay that much attention to the team anyways. Plus Oklahoma is called the Show Me State, what's up with that? As a slogan goes, that's pretty weak sauce.


A format change to note, now that it's down to just two teams remaining the next post will be announcing the winner. There will be no blackout, so whatever logo or indication you see is the team that has received my committment (for 1 year at least, as Tennessee painfully found out).

A New Contender!!

A dark horse has entered the race for my college football support! Eastern Washington University has emerged out of nowhere with their absolutely ridonkulous bright red field!


No, a certain booster of another team in this competition has pointed out that they are not a D1 team, however I never said I was looking for D1. Some people may say that this is a rip off of Boise State's blue turf, and it may be, but it has much bigger implications. This now gives a clear distinction as to who the Bloods and Crips should be rooting for (I think the Crips lucked out on that one) and it will also appeal the gamers desperately searching for a college football team (probably not many). Bottom line, this throws a big kink into the competition.




Pysch, I can't root for them, if I ever saw one of their games I would probably go blind and I'm not really down with that.

Another elimination tomorrow folks!

National Signing Week Update 2

Another day, another loser! It's elimination time again and one of the aforementioned teams will not be getting a rose tonight. What they will be getting however, is a lifetime of ineptitude since they will not be receiving the good luck that comes with my support (just ask the past two world series winners).


And the loser is (once again, highlight to reveal):

SYRACUSE ORANGEMEN

Syracuse is already the team I support through March Madness, and I'm just not ready to commit to them full time (gotta play the field a little). Additionally, as a football school they don't have much to offer. One of the main benefits of rooting for them would be going to the Dinosaur BBQ if I were to ever see a game of theirs, but I can go to the Dinosaur anyways, so who cares.

Additionally, Syracuse's most recent notable alumni is Donovan McNabb who has only played for teams that I cannot support in any way, shape, or form. That doesn't play a major role in my decision, but it certainly doesn't help.

Sorry Syracuse, but I still love your BBQ.
