Reading the ajc.com tonight, and came across a story that the Georgia House of Representatives today pushed a resolution to the floor that stated the BCS (Bowl Championship Series for college football) was 'the greatest disappointment of the 2007 college football season.'...... House Resolution 1066.
Are you freaking serious???????????????

What in the name of anything sacred is the state House pushing a resolution about college football for? I am beyond pissed off about this, and I am completely embarassed right now to call GA my home state.
There are dozens of key issues right now facing the state of Georgia that need to be dealt with... drought problems, economic growth, housing issues, just to name a few. And our lawmakers choose to put this up for discussion? Go to a damn bar and have a few drinks debating this with your buddies, as me and my pals do. But do not under any circumstances use my tax dollars to put this up for resolution. House members who sponsored this resolution should be permanently barred from attending any sessions of the Congress and get the hell out of the Capitol building.
Just so you know, it was sponsored by Reps Steve Davis (R-McDonough), Matt Ramsey (R-P'tree City), Doug McKillip(D-ATHENS), Clay Cox(R-Lilburn), John Heard (R-Lawrenceville), Tommy Benton (R-Jefferson), and others. 5 Republicans!!! I thought we believed in less government interference, not more!!
This is absolutely, 100% infuriating to me.
And what makes matters worse, it is simply a case of sour grapes for these buffoons. I have no doubt that if UGA had not been partially in the national championship picture, this would never have come up. Well guess what UGA fans (state lawmakers especially), you shouldn't have lost to South Carolina and gotten destroyed by Tennessee. You didn't even win your division of the SEC, so shut the crap up. Great team, but you blew your chances. And these lawmakers making this a political issue???? I think I am going to vomit.
This just goes to show what power and authority in the wrong hands can lead to. If these idiots were concerned with fixing real problems, we wouldn't be facing a lot of the issues that the state government is trying to address. But heaven forbid that UGA get left out (due to their performance during the season, but I digress) of the national championship picture. That obviously means that the system is broken, not that the team should have played better. Typical group-think from the morons that are taking over our republic: Instead of working to achieve, let's fix the system to come down to where our constituency is.... Nobody is bitching to Coach Richt about why they played so poorly against Tennesee or South Carolina (2 average teams for you non-football fans), but our lawmakers (now that is hard to say and be proud) find it in the state taxpayers' best interest to waste time for a resolution like this. I propose a resolution that UGA should have had their A-game ready for all opponents, and that the reps responsible for this crap be banned for life from public office.

did you know on everything you post it says its posted by stewie griffin...haha...funny! i enjoy reading your blog bc i get new info daily...im always interested to hear what you have to say!
No rule that says you have to win your league (see previous years with Oklahoma and Nebraska)to play for all the marbles.
UGA DID win the East...we just co-won it with UT.
Don't let your sour grapes over the whole 7 year streak make you angry Josh.
Thanks for the insight Harvey. In case you missed it, the point of the post was that it is no business of the GA state gov't to worry about the BCS. Just ask Ron Paul and he'd tell you the same thing... But you are right about one thing. I am bitter over the seven year streak.
