11.26.08 BALL STATE IS STILL UNDEFEATED, UN-SEXY
The Ball State wrapped up their regular season with a win against Western Michigan last night, pushing their record to 12-0 on the year. The Cardinals were paced by 5-foot-6-inch MiQuale Lewis, who ran for 120 yards and three TDs on 30 carries. Ball State’s season was dually notable for the program’s willingness to move their games around for television, having played games on Thursday, Friday, two Wednesdays and two Tuesdays, and I think I read somewhere that they also traveled back in time to play a game in 1956.
Ball State will play in the MAC Championship on Friday, December 3rd 5TH, after which their program will become college football’s latest Hey, What About Us team when the big bowls ignore them. But consider this: with wins against Navy (7-4), Central Michigan (8-3), Western Michigan (9-3), and having only one game where they scored fewer than 31 points (and, you know, being undefeated and all), Ball State is only ranked 15th in both polls. That means that even with you-know-who’s proposed top-eight playoff system, Ball State would still be denied a chance to play for the national title. How does your so-called system of fairness sound now?

When reached for comment, Obama replied, “Shit man, that honky mus’ be messin’ my old lady… got to be runnin’ cold upside down his head. You know?”
Hey, they beat Western last night, not Central. As a WMU alum, I demand that they receive full credit for this loss.
Whoops. I caught that and then didn’t save the change. Thanks.
December 3rd is a Wednesday. Friday is the 5th.
Sorry to be Captain Calendar but just wanted to point that out.
Feel free to discuss the post whenever you’re ready. Dicks.
Oddly enough, my ball state is also “wrapped up.”
