Mr_Bloggy: Mr_B is a firm believer that colleges and university academics exist only to legitimize and support the athletic programs. That success in sports is what America is all about and why we kick the everlovin' ass of any damn country in the world we want. We are the Global Champions of Warball! So, to the degree BSU provides any sort of academic program, and who cares really because they are so awesome in football, folks should be satisfied and happy BSU has not got out of balance like U of Idaho, which is no great shakes on a national level, but has focused way too much of strong academic programs and graduation rates to the disadvantage of their abysmal failure of a football team. A few less PhDs and a few more TDs would be warranted at this point. More below.

Question: Would you rather attend a college that's known for good academics and a so-so football team or one that has a nationally ranked football team and so-so academics?

Who actually gives a damn what the graduation rate is if a graduate has to bear the humiliation and oppressive weight of a degree from a LOSER school?

America didn't get this damn strong and successful at butt kicking the world by being all *smart.* Nope it was because America will bust your chops on fourth and five with a perfectly thrown bomb to the corner.

America is kicking a field goal. YAY! Straight through the uprights, egghead, straight thru. Pad up or go home.
