Woooo! We suck! Yeah!
>> Monday
There are few things in sports that amuse me more than fans who unknowingly put down their own team. Or in this case, fans who knowingly acknowledge their team's suckiness but are too excited to care.
If you missed it, Arizona St., who had been 0-14 in Pac10 play entering last night's game against the Troyanites of USC, avoided the first ever winless season in the history of Pac10 play.
Of course, an occasion of this nature is bound to produce some ironic celebration. The ASU students did not disappoint, storming the court and holding out their index fingers--as in, "win #1," not "we're #1"--when the final buzzer sounded.
Adding insult to insult, the ASU fans had also been chanting "overrated" throughout the last minute of the game, a ritual that is illogical regardless of circumstance and even more degrading given ASU's record.
Speaking of which, I'd like to jump on the soapbox for a second. And I know I speak for all of YCS on this one. If you ever, ever, chant "overrated," you are a fool and deserve to be punched. Just think for a second about what you're saying. It diminishes your own team's accomplishment for crying out loud! People sometimes...I tell ya.

If you're going to use the "Overrated" chant, you might as well add the "Man, if you lose to us you must really suck, because we're horrible and didn't win this game as much as you guys lost it, like the Miami Heat in last year's Finals" chant...although it doesn't fit as nicely into the four-beat rythm.
Haha, it's like that Conan gag with the guy who does that if you've ever seen it. If not...well, never mind. Not worth explaining.
