american beauties

I may have spent four years at the best university in the Bay Area, but the fact is that rankings and championships aside, everyone loves an underdog.  I don’t think there a person in the college football nation (≠ USC fans) who didn’t watch an upset of this magnitude in sheer glee.  Little Giants with more money and better cheerleaders!  And there must be some drunk in Vegas who accidentally marked the wrong box and is now celebrating the best day of his life as well.

Soccer and German sports commentators just aren’t the same.  What’s a beautiful and sunny Saturday afternoon without ESPN/ABC and some genius being paid tens of thousands to present weekly gems like “The key to victory, Jim, is holding on to the ball.  And scoring.”?
