We're Going To Pretend This College Football Season Never Happened

First off congrats to Alabama. The Crimson Tide played a perfect game. Literally. Bama didn't allow a single point, didn't commit a single penalty, and flat out dominated LSU at the line of scrimmage. It was a clean and swift ass kicking and that should be appreciated.

With all that said though, I'm going to pretend this season never happened. To quote the song You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch, "I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!"

This season was one disaster right after the other. From conference realignment/backstabbing, death of rivalries because of the conference realignment/backstabbing, to the Ohio State and Miami scandals, Jerry Sandusky allegations, Joe Paterno being fired for covering up those allegations, Todd Graham's ugly exit from Pitt to Arizona State, and finally to the national championship slopfest.

Last night's game was actually a perfect ending to the ugly season. The team that no one wanted to see in the National Championship Game won the game in the most ugly fashion. And looking at the ratings from last night's game, it looks like I'm not the only person pretending this season never happened. This was one whole season to forget topped off by the ugly ending.

So here's to a better college football season in 2012. Here's to a season without conference realignment/backstabbing. Here's to a season with child molestation charges. Here's to a season without shocking scandals. A coach exiting his former job for another job is always going to be ugly, but let's hope the coach exiting actually says goodbye to his former team in person and not with a text message.

So here's to a better 2012. And here's to forgetting 2011 ever happened.
