2. Which pac-10 team are you selectively being a fan of this year?
Wasn't it one of the Washington teams last year, and an oregon team the year before. I'm surprised your not a Colorado fan.

3. I've explained this to you in the past
nevertheless, I'll try again. I grew up about 10 miles south of Palo Alto, so naturally I'm partial to Stanford. However, now that I live in SW Washington state, I like the Huskies and Ducks too. And, I will root for any Pac-10 team in a bowl game, since they are carrying the banner of the conference.

All of this makes perfect geographical sense to me. Certainly much more so than, for example, some dude living in Maryland rooting for a college team from Ohio and a pro team located in Texas..

4. And I have explained to you my reasons for the teams I support.
Unlike you, I do not have to call up cboy to figure who I should be routing for.

5. "geographical sense"?
How about alma mater or even school tie sense?

I lived in Texas for a long time and attended UT, but I hate UT's conference rivals. TCU is the lone exception.

6. Sure...this from the guy
who last year had a TCU avatar up, until they lost in the Fiesta Bowl, at which time you promptly replaced it with an avatar of TCU's conquerors, Boise State..

Yeah, I can see you've got the kind of ties that can't be broken....

10. When Mallett is forced to move, ...
... he becomes totally ineffective.

Low and outside.

11. As I've stated before...
...congrats to tOSU for the win, but anyone who believes this was an easy win is only fooling themselves. Pick up the blocked punt, run it in, and Arkansas wins the Sugar Bowl. Mallett uses a little more discretion, and doesn't throw the interception, chances are Arkansas wins. Dropped passes from our receivers, and chances are Arkansas wins. We lost, and tOSU came out on top. Again, congrats from an Arkansas fan, but it could have gone the other way easily. Thanks.
