A Timely Update

In anticipation of tomorrow’s football games football orgy, I give you the Readers Updates to The Rules. There are some pretty good ones…and I’ll only give you the ones that made me laugh out loud (here, in this post)…

62. You are allowed to root for another school while your team is on probation. (STU_UNGAR1975)
62a. Except in the SEC. This would be way too confusing.
69. All fans are allowed to root for one service academy, but you must pick one. (terpman19)
69a. If you pick Air Force, you must call them the Zoomies.
(ed: UmmmI’ll respectfully submit a corollary: “Unless you are IN the Air Force, or SERVED in the Air Force, or RETIRED from the Air Force. You will then call the team ‘Air Force.’”)
91. Unless you win the BCS title game, you are not the national champions. I don't care what the AP poll says. (egomaniac)
95. Any conference called "The Big Ten" that in fact has 11 teams must man up and kick one out. (htighe811)
95a. Any Big Ten team who loses to a Division I-AA team is the candidate to be kicked out.
100. Unless you matriculated and graduated from Stanford, Cal Tech, MIT or an Ivy League school, you may not use your alma mater's scholastic excellence as a valid excuse for crappy football. (That means you, Michigan, Notre Dame and Cal.) (winstoncounty)

By the way, the names in parentheses are the people that submitted the rule.

Oh. Almost forgot: GO Irish!!

  1. They'll always be the Zoomies to me. My contract doesn't extend THAT far.

  2. I rather agree with this one:

    84. Refer to all bowl games by their old, pre-corporate sponsor names. It's not the Capital One Bowl, it's the Citrus Bowl. Capital One isn't paying you anything. If the bowl game did not have a pre-corporate sponsor name, it's not really a bowl. (tomdaddydollars)

    But we've already violated this one:

    73. No shirts on dogs. (abuller103)

  4. Only a little. The shirt was just draped over the dog, not actually on her.

  5. G'day Buck,

    Here in Australia, we're in the final stages of football fever as well!

    Cheers
