Home on the range

Howdy folks and welcome to another edition of Home on the Range. In this weeks edition I am gonna give yall a little run down on what is going on with good ole Bama. I can hear yall now asking man what the hell do yall do over there and whats the weather like. Well I will tell ya, the real work ie cool shit to do is wearing thin so thus increases the bullshit work. An well the weather you ask, its damned cold over here, I am just waiting on the first snow fall because I know its coming.

Whats that ahh whats bullshit work you ask, ahh well I will try and explain it best I can, but its pretty much all the dirty worthless work that no one wants to do. An usually everyone trys to duck out of it every chance they get. But to put it more simply its mindless tasks of cleaning, picking up trash that has blown in from the neighbors pad and so forth. Its kinda like you know you start to get a little lull and someone sees this and say WTF these people are fucking off for an extra hour instead of working the full 16 we better find something for them to do! Shit like that.

On a better note though I did finish up my book The Footprints of God, and let me tell you that is an amazing fucking book. I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone. An before someone jumps up on a stump and starts preaching to me not to preach to them, it has very little to do with biblical stuff. BUT there is a little bit in there and it gives the book one hellva ring. Full on great read pick up and make sure you have some time on your hands because you will not want to put it down!

What else have I been up to ya ask, well lets see I am working on a new warfare pin some may or may not know what that is but its a pretty big deal in the Navy. I can't really think of anything to equate it to at the moment but ill work on it and get back to you. Also I have been studying for my rating exam in March, because I missed E-6 yet again by 4 points. So cross your damn fingers and pray or whatever it is that you do to give me some damn luck! Cause I reckon I need all of that I can get when it comes to these damn test. I have never failed one yet these fuckers never wanna pay me more for passing it like the recruiter said they would, that sumbitch!

Other than that life is pretty much the same shit different day type. The hardest thing here is to keep challenging yourself with new things (hell just finding new things is a challenge) not becoming complacent and keeping your eye on the horizon. Cause you never know what might happen or when. Anyway as always I love and miss you.

Sincerely,
Bama

Peace be with you

So I awoke this morning, a little sore from my workout the day before, and still a little sleepy. I step out of my sleeping area to walk to the head so I can get cleaned up for the morning and go to work. First thing that enters my mind is damn its cold this morning but I carry on with my business. Get to work check my email looking for those little spaming bastards, but the majority of the emails I received this morning were from friends and family.

My brother Tracy sent me three emails and I was stoked to hear from him as always but sad at the news he had to tell me. A close childhood friend of ours whos baby was sick, has passed away from this world and onto the next. My heart bleeds for my friends and their families in this time of sorrow and need. I would love to offer a shoulder to cry on, but I can not because I am to far, but I can offer my prayers. I know this pain as I to have lived it, but I do believe Khara's pain is probably worse than mine, because at least she got an almost solid year out of the love of her child, where as I never even got to see my son. Khara and Josey my heart goes out to you and your family if you need anything let us know.

Peace be with you little Josey and Know your mother loved you deeply! Rest in Peace lil Lady!

Fucking Spam

So you all know that being away from home is a pain in the ass, and can be stressful. Especially around the holidays and whatnot. So I just checking my email and shit before I am going to bed and I see boom I got 15 new emails, so all surprised and happy I am thinking man there must be allot of cool shit going on that people wanna tell me about. So bam hit the inbox and up jumps my email list and HOLY fucking hell batman I got 14 fucking spam messages and 1 real fucking email. Well at this point I am super fucking annoyed because, before i was all happy thinking I was gonna get to read some cool shit, or hear a cool new joke. But nope, fucking dirty motherfucking spamers. I am blasting through all the fucking spam shit (normally I just hit the trusty old spam button and bam I am done with em) but today, today of all days I am fucking pissed about it. Because upon scrolling to the bottom of the email thinking ahh fucking it I am going to start opting out of these fucking annoying things. What catches my eye, was not the ad or the opt out button, it was a little note that said hey fucker we can spam you all the fuck we want to because we are abiding by the FEDERAL FUCKING CAN SPAM Act of 2003. WOW your fucking kidding me CONGRESS passed an act to allow this fucking bullshit. HEY FUCKERS THERE IS A WAR GOING ON OVER HERE! An my fucking ass is knee fucking deep in it. Thanks for think of all of the people of the world and peace and all that shit, will your fucking worthless asses are in session. This is the shit we get through congress, not hey here is the new defense bill cause dood need fucking new shit to keep em alive, or hey here is some more money for doctors and shit cause people get hurt. THANKS fuckers! Ill make sure and remember this shit come election day. I am on a personal fucking mission to find every fucking senator and representative who passed this fucker and make sure I do not vote for them. Also I started sending a nice little reply to there fucking spamming asses, and I hope everyone in the fucking world will do the same. See how these piece of shit motherfuckers like having there emails spammed with a bunch of pissed off motherfuckers! Anyways here is my happy little letter that I wrote and feel free to copy and paste it into all of your replies as well. You know normally I would not even bother with this petty shit, but you know the more I think about it, its the petty shit that is slowly killing our fucking country. Everyday I check my email and normally I just delete my bulk folder every few days because theres about 200-400 spam messages. Well I had decided lately that I would give it a month just to see how many make it in there and with 4 days left to go I have already received 5072 BULK aka spam messages, that's not counting the 50 that make it through that filter everyday. That I have been so idly deleting. Well you know what fuck those bitches from now on I opt-out reply then hit the spam button.

Just wanted to say that Your a piece of shit and your a huge waste of fucking time. Some of us have better things to do that set up bullshit let this just to fucking fill up peoples in boxes. I hope in return that everyone in the fucking world replies to your stupid fucking waste of time and crashes your damn servers! PS FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE with you fucking I comply with can spam bullshit act of 2003. I don't give a fuck who you comply with, you don't fucking comply with my friend list or contacts, therefore your some fucking super nerd who is to fucking busy annoying people with this bullshit to actually go out and get some ass. PS Happy Holidays and Merry Fucking Christmas!

Lastly I will leave you with this fucking bullshit ass act because it is very fucking real. If you don't want to know the specifics of this piece of shit act you can skip the bold writing.

The CAN-SPAM Act: Requirements for Commercial Emailers

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.

The law, which became effective January 1, 2004, covers email whose primary purpose is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including content on a Web site. A "transactional or relationship message" – email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship – may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is authorized to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act. CAN-SPAM also gives the Department of Justice (DOJ) the authority to enforce its criminal sanctions. Other federal and state agencies can enforce the law against organizations under their jurisdiction, and companies that provide Internet access may sue violators, as well.

I will not post the whole thing because its fucking stupid but that's the basis of it. Oh and if you read this far and are curious as to the other things that put me in a foul mood today, I just found out that a very close friend of mine 11 month old baby girl has a brain tumor. She is not doing very good and the family is well in and immense amount of pain at the moment and that brings tears to my eyes. As I have lost a son and can feel for these folks from the bottom of my heart. As always I love you and Miss you all

Evil Petting Zoo's

So I have been promising pics of the evil petting zoo we got going on and I am finally going to
deliver on my promise. So the first set of pics is obviously of the puppies and mom (Hesca) The lil lady that is tugging on that shoe string is the only puppy that I named . Her name is Loki because she is a little devil dog, and she is always into something. I am waiting on others to name the rest of the dogs. I will let you know the names as soon as I know the.


Then we got these two fellows here, on the left that is Goat (he is really a sheep but we named him goat), and on the right is Grudge, because he is always pissed off at someone. An he has a broken horn so we just assume thats what he is pissed off about. That is the basic story of our petting zoo. Camel to follow one of the days hahahaha! Out of the animials Goat and Loki are my personal favorites. Goat is funny and talks to everyeone all the time.

Book reviews

Ok when I first started this blog, what I wanted to do with it was critique books, movies, and music, but with my current situation well I do not get to hear a lot of new music or see a lot of new movies. Books on the other hand, I can do so I am going to review a few books that I have read recently and liked or disliked. Feel free to throw in books you have read that where good and when I get a chance I will try and read those as well. But I will be putting up a review about it later on so no lady romance novels please :) Anything else is fair game I suppose.

I recently just finished The Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan, its a teen series but its a fantastic read if you would like a new spin on Vampires. I do not know or really care to know if this author is a teen or not, because I simply enjoyed reading all 12 of these books. So check them out with an open mind to the vampire genre because this one is a LOT different from the norm.

Patterson - The Thomas Berryman Number was ok but not the normal Patterson read. Its very short and there are really no chapters just breaks in the writing which is weird for Patterson, no the less the story is well lacking and sometimes hard to follow with the way its layed out. Read it only if there is no other Patterson books left to read!

Patterson - The Quickie more of a typical James Patterson novel but I don't know if the co-author killed the book or if Patterson is just doing to many things at once these days, not as good as I had hoped for after reading the little excerpt. This story was good and readable but it just lacked that normal punch or suspense that Patterson novels are known for. Again its worth reading just do not expect to be in a state of suspense the whole time.

Currently I started a new book by Greg Iles called The Footprints of God, I am so far in awe of this book, if I could I would read it from front to back cover without putting it down, but I do not have that kind of time. It starts from page one and so far I am around 150 pages into it and am still just like WTF is gonna happen now. Lets just hope the ending does not suck or I will have to go on a baby punching rampage. Will update this once I finish.

Anyway as I get more time to read I will add more reviews, again feel free to let me know about some really kick ass books that folks are reading or have already read. I am trying to expand my book knowledge and i usually get suckered into the book with the cool looking covers with no one damn good page to read in it. As always I love and miss you all

Thanks in advance and again I love you guys and miss ya.

Another Day in the Life of

So I have been so damn busy that I have not really had time to write on here. I am well lets see working about 12-16 hours a day, working out 7 days a week and eating and sleeping a lot. The work stuff I can't tell ya about but some days its fun and some days its not. We did however aquire some new pets, one is a sheep (his name is goat) also called Willis from time to time (what you talking bout Willis baaaaaah) lil sheep humor! An I hear we are soon to be getting a camel, now whos fucking ideal that was I have no clue but ill tell ya what when I get a picture of a camel toe (Real one that is) for Holly its gonna be damned funny. We also got five new puppies in the fold and they are fucking cute little turds. They are finally starting to come out of there house and play with people, but they are still a little bit shy. I don't blame them cause there is a bunch of goof balls running around here.

I really wish I had a picture of the sunset tonight because it was fucking amazing, I was wondering while looking at it, if it would looks the same to you guys back home. I never came to a conclusion, but tonight be on the look out for a really kick ass sunset and let me know if yall thought it was a cool looking as I did.

What else have I been up to you ask, well I have started on the short stories that I spoke of in an earlier post. I have two started and I am slowly getting more ideals for those, however I lack the time I would like to have to concentrate on them fully. Maybe by the time I am 50 they will be completed and readable who knows.

Training, yes yes its vicious never ending cycle for me, train for work, train for school, train to train, I am always fucking training in something. Which is good a bad, sometimes it seems just as I am getting used to doing one thing now I gotta learn to do 15 new things. Most of the time I can handle it just fine, but lately things have been so busy that it almost seems I don't give a rats ass to learn anything new. My brain feels like a fucking saturated sponge and its flooded with knowledge that is probably useless as soon as my foot touches the ground back home, because by then all the new shit will be there and its yep you guessed it time to train up on the new shit. Oh well I am mostly just bitching, why, because I feel like it.

To end on a high note though, one of my goals while being here was to achieve a better state of healthiness, and I think I am pretty much on track there. I mean no beer or booze for 6 months all while working out 7 days a week. Shit I would work out twice a day if I had more time, never the less I do not have that time as of now so I will keep with my current regiment. I am doing a mixture of the good ole AB's diet workouts that I was studying up on before I left and mixing that in with crossfit, and Gym Jones. If ya never heard about crossfit check out www.crossfit.com or if ya never heard about Gym Jones google the Gym Jones workouts. They are pretty fucking intense as you will see when ya look at the sites. It has been really good to get back to basics all while working out on a more than regular schedule, added in with our daily regiment of work which can be fun and tedious. I set the goal of maintaining my current weight while being here but dropping down to 12-14 percent body fat. I am currently at 19 percent with some time left so I think I just might make my goal yet and I am stoked about it. Anyways hope you enjoy reading me blab on and on about nothing, check out the sunset, have a beer for me and as always I love and miss you all.

Stache Palace 4

Ya so I got bored and decided since I have never been completely bald I would try it out. So with our further ado. And no I did not lose a bet. I have won 3 of our 6 football pools so far and the only one to win more than 1. blah

Stache Palace 3

So I finally did the daytime switch aka I stopped working primarily nights and started working primarily days now. So fucking a my first day doing so I get woken up at 4am to go fix some shit, and after 3 hours of fixing stuff that got broken while I was sleeping I go back to bed right. Bam bam bam at 8am hey I need you to come fix some shit again after my ass just feel back asleep. It was awesome to say the least and then on top of that I got to go running but not because I wanted to because I had to pull a 3 mile stretch of cable, ie we got one guy driving the truck with the cable reel and me running behind the truck, making sure that the cable does not break and goes where it needs to go. So anyways after sweating my ass off I decided fuck its time for a hair cut, because no one should sweat this much when its this damn cold out. So anyway I wanted to get ya some before and after shots and also I am debating on bic'ing it since I have never been completely bald. I think I just might have to try it out and see how bad it looks on me. Enjoy
Bama

The Stache Palace 2

Just wanted to give an update on how things are going and the progression of the stache palace. Well I am doing well, Thanksgiving was good we had 2 turkeys and a very large ham. I did not get any of the turkeys because they got demolished before I got up oh well. The ham on the other had was freaking awesome cudos to the chef. I have finally finished all the building or special add-ons that I am going to do to the palace. The weather here is getting colder and I am currently sicker than shit but other than that things are going good. As for the very awesome stache you will see the pics! So with out further delay here are the pics of the stache and Hesca our dog. Soon to follow will be a pic of her puppies!

Still a Fan

Ya ya all you dirty ass Auburn fans can cheer it up for another year. Congrats on a well played game. So without saying we ended this season just like last. New highest paid coach in all of college football and all. I just wanted to point out that I dont think Shula was that bad, I mean fuck if Saban can repeat it he must not have been all bad right? Anyways long story short I AM A ROLL TIDE FAN! I don't care who is coaching but I do like to win especially against Tenn and Auburn!

Fucking Bama

So ya here I am watching my Crimson Tide and they are fixing to play the fucking Vols (which if ya didn't know is a team I hate even more than Auburn), and I am thinking to myself, self we gotta fucking beat Tenn! The first half was kinda shitty but I figure we are doing better than the last few years cause we are leading at the half. So second half kicks off and boom bop Bama lama ding dong we are kicking the fucking shit out of Phillip Fulmers piece of shit fucking Vols and I am on top of the fucking world! I mean the kind of happy that made me wanna call the NCAA and fuck y'all ya we cheated but look at the rat fuck now! Oh side story Fulmer ratted out Bama for a minor infraction that got blown into a major infraction because the NCAA was investigating Tenn. This is when im thinking to my self, Self we have turned the fucking corner this year, watch your ass LSU cause the fucking Tide is on the way. Well after a heart breaking loss to the number one team in the Nation (LSU for you non sports followers) we go play Miss ST. Did y'all know they made a saying for Sylvester Croom? Losing to Miss St last year they said all year we got Croomed, ya know a fluke and shit. But low and fucking behold we play the worst game of the year and ill be damned if we didn't lose to those sumbitches again this year, which they already beat Auburn so I knew they where good. But ya after fucking up Tenn, then almost fucking up LSU I'm thinking we should win out. So here I am today sittin in my fucking cubbie hole in the world listening to the damn Bama game on yahoo radio because it was against NE LA girls junior varsity for the blind or some shit, and I am thinking to my self, Self after this game we will be fucking 7-4 getting ready for Auburn and a chance for second in the SEC west not to shabby a season. Well after listening to the second disgusting game in a row I have decided that ya we did turn a fucking corner, but instead of going down the road to play good games we decided to take a stop over at HOLY HELL WE ARE STUCK IN FUCKING AWFUL CITY, and I am just praying that the fucking bus pulls away before we play Auburn. I don't think my heart can take six in a row. Oh and Fuck Auburn in Advance because the way we are playing y'all have already won. The funny part is that fucking Nick Saban aka Traitor to all the LSU fans out there might get his ass fired after his first season in T-Town. Then Les Miles is going to replace Carr at Michigan and I bet we do not hear a fucking peep outta the fucking LSU fans from that. They sure as hell kept their mouths shut when Saban went to Miami there was not a peep. He comes back to the SEC and THEN he is traitor. Well I hope he takes his ass back to fucking LSU I want a real coach! At this point I think Paul Ellis from Fort Payne could coach better than this, shit least they went 11-0 (Oh he is my old High School defensive line coach, now head coach at my old high school). Anyways Fuck this shit i am tired and Bama has my damn blood pressure through the damn roof. Good nite all and PS Henry the SEC is still better than the Pac-10 :)

Been talking about it to long!

So fuck it I say, since Hollywood does not return my calls and shit. I wanna remake a classic, and probably one the best all time movies EVERY! So what I want to know is who is with me? What, what do you mean you don't know what movie I am talking about! Are you kidding me fuck yes I am talking about Clash of the Titans. So I say fuck it and lets all pool our money and do it ourselves! That is all Peace

The Stache Palace

So I dont know if you knew this or not but in Iraq you are not considered to be a man unless you have facial hair. SO I decided to become a MAN! I can see your jealous as hell I can tell. But anyways moving on, yes I know I look like Herbert from Family Guy (creepy old man).
I want to show ya how mah palace is coming along. Oh didnt you know Saddam started a new trend everyone gets their own palace.

So with out further ado. Here is the before shot and I have almost
completed the palace now. And finally the third pic will be the progress I have made. Oh I know your saying man I thought you would be living on the ground under the stars and shit. But wait there is more, if ya wanted to do that it would be the equivalent of laying in a massive, (I am talking winter sand berm here) pile of used up charcoal ash. So if You wanna live in that go for as for me I got the Trailer palace! I will try and get up the rest of the pics of the palace tonight but if not they will come soon enough. You gotta see the awesome carpeting job i did! Oh and the shelves, now I just have to find some most awesome plumbing pipe that is the right
size so I can hang up my clothes. Maybe one day I will be able to get up a pic of the the junk cars in the yard and if i hit the lottery this bitch is going to be turned into a two story palace! But until then enjoy the Stache Palace and take care! PS Remember the phrase of the Day is Iraqi Tacky!
And hopefully soon ill get up a pic of the camp dog! Hesca

Quick update

So ya im still here and what not, and things are coming together nicely. We are basically building up a new base here. Because the shell that we took over pretty much sucked ass. It had a few things that where pretty nice but mostly nothing or nothing useful. So anyways I have been super busy with that and I just wanted to say hello to everyone and let them know I am ok just tired. So feel free to mail me some sleep or a little R&R and i will be good. Thanks. Oh and one last thing almost all of my sites pop up in German so that is interesting, I get to try and decipher which buttons do what and who the fuck knows what the sites say. Oh well thats a tangent for another time. Nite all

Just in time for Bama Christmas

Howdy folks me and mostly Holly are setting up and online store for you to go and buy all of her kick ass designs. So make it happen so I can have me a good ole sugar momma! The site is http://www.cafepress.com/obfreedom. It only shows each design on one item but you can put any design you like on any item you like. So dooooo eeeeeet! Peace Bama

We be Camping!

So I am finally here in my camp, the drive sucked as always hehe. But all is well with me, just busy as a bee. Let me just say that FUCK I hate first days on camp. I have been slammed since about 10 am this morning (for those that dont know we are 10 hours ahead, which means it is 4 am here now) so I been moving all day. We are starting to get this place to be what we need of it so that is good. If anyone knows anyone that would like to donate some gym equipment to us that would fucking rock. We have a flat and incline bench and squat bar, 2 tread mills and some free weights up to about 50 lbs. So I welcome any and all gym equip if someone wanted to donate :) Well just wanted everyone to know whats up and that I love you all.

Finally

Well I finally got gone and man was it a crazy fucking trip. After many many delays with the airplane I finally left I think it was Fri morning. I flew thirteen hours in a freezing ass airplane (C-17) if ya never seen one well its just fucking massive, the insides are filled with all of our junk and the seats well they are meant for people who are fixing to jump out of the plane to sit in. So needless to say they are not very comfy. C'est la vie, we final land in German after having the shit scared out of us when we where about 6 hours into the flight with something is wrong with the plane. We touch down in German and it was a blistering 28 degrees, ouch I was like who turned off the damn sunshine. We where told 3 hour delay which ended up being more like 12 hours which was good because I actually got some sleep at that point. But again this is the life of a military person. I am here just have a lil bit more traveling to do before I get settled into my home for the next 7 months. Hopefully I can write more later.
Take care everyone and enjoy USA for me while I am away!

The Price is Wrong Bob

As my time is running out here in SD and as I get ready to head over to the big sand box, Holly and I went on a cool date. We finally got out to La Jolla to check out the Bodies exhibit. Which when we left to go see, I was expecting the worst. You know fucking dead people everywhere. Well that was not really the case, I mean ya there is dead folks but they are not all gruesome and stuff. In fact its pretty damn cool, you get to see the human body in a whole new aspect. They basically break down every single part of the body, you see the nervous system, the brain and the main stuff that you could not see before. So that was a really kick ass time for the most part, the only downside to that is the price. I thought the price was just a bit steep for what it was, in my opinion it should be more like 10 or 12 dollars but hey whatever.

So then we leave there and head out to all the fancy smancy La Jolla stuff, which I don't think everyone got a kick outta my I Put Out shirt, quite like the OBcians do. Never mind that, so we went to a place called Georges. Which also in my opinion was a little expensive but has a kick ass view and the service was pretty good. The food was good also and the drinks not bad either. But the purpose of my telling this part is because once we were ordering drinks my stupid curiosity got the best of me and I just HAD to buy the damn 20 dollar Margarita. I was like what the hell does a 20 dollar margarita taste like ah fuck it bring me one. Well let me tell ya it was fucking awesome but again not worth 20 damn dollars! Ah well we only live once and it was worth trying. Lates

SEC Football

Ya know what I am so tired of the conference chatter about who has the best conference. I am sick of hearing about how great USC is and Michigan. Just this year alone those two teams have gotten their asses kicked by craptastic schools, such as Stanford. Yet, we still have to hear about how is such an injustice that USC dropped to number 10 after the loss. Boo fucking hoo, are you kidding me, I'm sorry but the with seven ranked teams you know my vote is for the SEC.

So my proposal is that we rotate the teams that are deemed freebie status every fucking year through the SEC for one or two years max. Just to see how the USC's, Michigans, Ohio St.'s and Notre Dame's of the US do. If they can tough it out for the year or two and go back to their conference and still be considered good then I will give the other conferences more credit. But until then........ SEC rules the USA!

Finally someone else that makes sense THANK YOU!

When it comes to the Bowl Championship Series (or at least the inevitable death of the stupid thing) I, like any right thinking person without a direct rooting interest, have become a situational anarchist.

The more profoundly screwed up, controversial and embarrassing the college football championship system gets, the better.

Only something completely ridiculous can spur a storming of the castle, a rebellion by the television folks or the SEC deciding to stand up for its self-interests. The BCS does a terrible job of determining a champion. It's designed not to serve the players, coaches or fans, just the corporate coffers favored by the commissioner of the Big Ten.

But while the BCS shares many similarities with the cockroach, it can be killed. A nuclear winter would do it and after Kentucky beat Louisiana State in triple overtime and Oregon State stunned Cal, well, let's just say the missiles are in the air.

Boston College vs. South Florida in the BCS title game, anyone? How about either of them against an Ohio State team with exactly zero quality wins?

ADVERTISEMENT

Think that might do it?

There isn't frost on the pumpkin yet and the college football season is a befuddled mess that won't get any clearer when the first BCS standings get released on Sunday (4 p.m. ET).

Ohio State (7-0) might wind up No. 1, but the Buckeyes have beaten exactly no good teams. And due to their cupcake non-conference slate and the horrific state of the Big Ten, they won't have to beat anyone really good to waltz into the BCS title game with an unblemished record.

The Bucks toughest game the rest of the way? Try Michigan. (Don't laugh).

Of course, do you like BC (7-0), who played an equally weak non-league slate and comes from the Atlantic Coast Conference, aka SEC Lite?

How about South Florida (7-0) which has the best resume (victories over West Virginia and Auburn) but has been playing Division I-A football for all of 11 years and feels more like a mid-major in the Sweet Sixteen than a bona fide, believable title team.

Of course, that's just perception. And in this season we've learned again perception means nothing.

The problem is perception, in the form of two popularity polls, still plays a critical role in determining how college football sets up its championship game matchup.

If there was ever a year crying for a playoff, this is it, when just about everyone has already lost and the gap between teams playing strong schedules and weak ones is so pronounced.

Consider Ohio State, which considered this a rebuilding year. Its non-conference schedule consisted of Youngstown State, Akron, (last-place) Washington and Kent State. Not surprisingly, they won them all.

It's not Ohio State's fault that everyone else lost and the Buckeyes are now the likely No. 1. But it doesn't change the fact that perhaps no team has ever reached the top of the polls this late in the season with a less impressive body of work.

It also isn't Ohio State's fault that the rest of its league has tanked the last few years – it's possible there won't be one other ranked Big Ten team this week.

But suddenly the Buckeyes are in the driver's seat and have a dream slate lined up in front it.

But that's just the kind of schedule the BCS rewards. Play no one but win and you've got a heck of a shot of making the title game as the rest of the country beats each others brains in. The best route to the title game is to play in a mediocre to moderate league with no more than one or two other good teams.

That's the Big Ten, ACC and, to maybe a slightly lesser extent, the Big East.

None of which means that an unbeaten champion of those leagues are better than a one or even two loss team from the SEC, Pac-10 or perhaps even Big 12.

If Michigan is Ohio State's big challenge, what of the Wolverines 32-point loss to Oregon (not to mention Appalachian State)? And if Virginia Tech is what passes for serious competition for BC in the ACC, how do you explain the Hokies' 41-point pasting at the hands of LSU?

But LSU is now playing catchup thanks to a wild loss in Lexington. This was surprising in the specific but not the general – the chance of the Tigers surviving the SEC meat grinder was unlikely.

For the second consecutive week, the SEC should have seven teams ranked teams. Seven! The Pac-10, meanwhile, had four of the top 14 teams last week.

This is your BCS, though. It punishes good leagues and rewards bad ones.

Former SEC commissioner Roy Kramer might have designed the original BCS, but in its current form in this current landscape it is killing his old conference. In a sport with such a disparity in schedule strength, a playoff is most needed, not least. Let 16 teams play it out, and you might wind up with all-SEC title games or three of the final four.

Every week isn't a playoff, as the apologists like to claim, when not everyone is playing playoff competition.

But until the SEC and its current commissioner Mike Slive decides to stand up and fight for his teams, rather than following the Big Ten's lead in protecting a system perfect for the Big Ten, then nothing is going to change.

One loss, to a ranked team, on the road, in triple overtime will send you reeling behind someone with no losses, but no challenges either. It's quite a system. It needs to go.

Let anarchy reign.
