BRADFORD

My vote for now. I will attempt to expand on why Bradford is so crucial to our livelihoods if I make it to a computer before the vote is final. For now, realize that there is a bewildered quarterback inside all of us.

The intense wait is over! Our celebrity votes were cast by the Dan Lebatard Show! Dan, Stugotz, and executive producer Mike Ryan all chose their favorite .gifs and they unanimously chose Wheeze and Brees.

I was hoping either Papi or Bomani would make an appearance as well, but they did not. It was still really cool meeting Dan and Stugotz. Stugotz is a really cool guy and very nice to everyone. His on air personality is definitely exaggerated, but not by much. Dan is much bigger in person than I expected, not fat though. Dude is easily 6'2" (I am 6' even for comparison). Also, he is super stoic during the game. Like he doesn't show any emotion, whether they are up or down during the game. Apparently he can be very socially awkward, but that wasn't my experience. He was quiet and reserved, but didn't shy away from conversation when people engaged him. The other thing that was surprising is the number of people who kept hitting Mike Ryan up for advice on how to get into the production side of things. We ended up having a rather longish conversation because we are both craft beer nerds and at least 3 people came up giving him business cards and asking how to do what he does.

There's a feeling everyone who has a college football team knows � a feeling of aching disappointment, of things that could have been but weren't. Some feel it more sharply, some more frequently of others. Programs rise and fall, as is the nature of the sport. There are powerhouse teams that remain relevant seemingly forever, but even Texas and Florida have their stretches of abject failure. There's comfort in knowing your program has a history and in recognizing the cyclical nature of competitiveness. That sharp pain of a stinging, surprise loss � that horrible gut-wrenching pain of being cast out of greatness, however temporary � that pain is tempered by this recognition.

For many of us though, success for our team has been illusive: only earned by mistake, a timeline of horrors punctuated with victory just often enough to keep a pilot light of hope burning. You can't have disappointment without that hope. You get numb to it, yes, but never so numb that you don't still feel the sting of a bad loss. Being ground down over worthless decades may be a more blunt pain less acutely felt, but the real hurt lies in the knowledge that things won't get better.

Oh, our wonderful quarterback, have you seen him play? How beautifully he throws the ball! He's a natural, he's going places, surely he'll be drafted high, he'll be a franchise QB for his career!

Then that dream has a public meltdown that humiliates your school for a generation in the memories of those who witness it. That dream gets arrested for serial burglary of drugs and sent to jail in Texas after busting so big that his name will be synonymous with the word forever.

But humiliation is something that can be withstood. It sucks, sure, but you know it doesn't really mean anything. There's next year, a new class, new players, and no real reason to dwell on it. But after so many years of fortune refusing to change, you finally realize: Ryan Leaf wasn't just the quarterback we had. He was the quarterback we deserved.

And in that moment, watching Halliday throw into triple coverage, when you realize that you'd rather have that generational embarrassment back than watch what's happening in front of you? That's when you let it wash over you and come to terms with the infinite sadness of Wazzu football. gently caress it; I'm eating popcorn.

as for the other, it's an easy decision because the pleasure of seeing that piece of poo poo idiot rear end in a top hat motherfucker's neck getting powerfucked into the dirt is exquisite

That's pretty much exactly how it went and everyone was cool with it. Didn't miss a beat, in fact they all laughed really loving hard at the Brees one because even Mike Ryan hadn't seen that one yet.
