You see that shit, Verizon? You have until then to impress me. Otherwise, it gets real.

My reaction to this news is generally reflected in the responses you’ll find here, but beings how I have my own website, I wanted to make my feelings on this matter perfectly clear.

I hate you right now, Verizon. We’re FIGHTING.

You’ve thrown OG Droid owners who have been waiting months for a great phone under the bus yet again.

In regards to the Droid Bionic, you can stick it. I’ll be absolutely floored if that thing isn’t panned by critics.

In closing:

Here is a brief list of things that have happened to me recently:

• I procreated
• I got a snappy new pair of shoes
• I discovered that I still don’t have the courage to ditch my beard for a mustache

How have you been, Internet?

Admit it, Notre Dame was the only logical conclusion for this countdown.You can accuse me of being a fanboy all you’d like, but deep down in your heart of hearts you know just as well as I do that Notre Dame’s fight song is the greatest and best fight song ever. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

Notre Dame’s fight song is the greatest and best fight song ever. Also, BYU can suck it.
- Abraham Lincoln

Try as you might, you just can’t argue with Abraham Lincoln. Though I’ll admit the BYU comment may have been a bit out of line, he gets a pass on the grounds that he saved our nation and freed the slaves. You’d be surprised how much he plays those cards.

Go Irish!

I’m of the opinion that attending a game at Camp Randall Stadium should be on every college football fan’s bucket list because any place that combines a fanatic enthusiasm for House of Pain, a reputation for vulgar chants, and an above-average appreciation for their band is simply too great to pass up. I know every SEC fan would like to make a case for their school, but Wisconsin (both the school and the state) appeals to me for other reasons.

In the interests of brevity, here is a list of things about Wisconsin (again, school and state) that are great:

• Everything

Done. You can try all you want to convince me that the winter weather sucks, but I’d save your breath. Speaking as someone who grew up in the Rockies, cold weather does a number of good things – chief among them being building character and keeping the pussies away. As an added bonus, being cold affords you the opportunity to drink the cold away, which always yields fantastic results.*

Best of luck in the coming season, Badgers; you’re going to need it.

* Not always; results vary widely between transcendent, euphoric experiences and death.

Georgia Tech, simply put, is a great school. It is a public institution that has a fierce reputation when it comes to academics. And don’t even think about asking about the engineering program – it’s way out of your league.

So if you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, sure, it’s a good school but all the football players just major in communications, right?”

Wrong.

Mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering, biology, management, graduate studies; you get the picture. These guys will run the triple option right by your dumb ass and then make Dean’s List just for fun. Speaking of the triple option, your quarterback is nowhere near this hard. And then there’s the coach - Paul Johnson is a badass, and your argument is invalid.

As far as fight songs go – this one is pretty much perfect. Here is an summarized list of its achievements:

• Set to the tune of a drinking song
• Light cussing and references to alcohol/drinking throughout
• Touts the school’s engineering tradition
• Promotes the gentlemanly tradition of drinking whiskey straight
• Instills rivalry in the next generation
• Sung by Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon – seriously

Cheers to you, Georgia Tech, and your damn fine fight song.

Worth pointing out: the Aggies are in a league of their own when it comes to traditions and their fight song (The Aggie War Hymn) deserves an honorable mention in this countdown.

That said – Hook ‘em.

Take heart, Wolverine fans – you’ll always have your academics and your excellent ethical, rule-abiding tradition.
