How do they keep fooling people?

Seriously, how do people keep getting hoodwinked by Clemson basketball, Ohio State football, Notre Dame football and Sergio Garcia? HOW? Aren't sports people in the know as smart as me? I guess sports should just turn its rankings over to me. I can see through these teams....EVERY YEAR.

Last night I watched as #9 Clemson entered the Dean Dome and proceeded to get blown off the court by #6 UNC. This was just a few days after Clemson lost to Wake Forest. Ummm, Clemson scheduled a sack of crap to open the season (LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO), they race off to a fine start (but then again who DOESN'T FEAST on teams like UNC-OIB-wait, Felton can't beat Savannah State!) before crashing back to earth with a 7-9/8-8 conference slate-if they even win THAT MANY. But they do this EVERY YEAR! You'd think that people would catch on at some point. Yeah a 16-0 start to a 19-13 finish. EVERY YEAR! Catch ON people!

Ohio State football. If the Suckeyes hadn't lost to Penn State, they probably would have been playing OU or Florida for the national title AGAIN! Why? They beat up on the Big 11 after beating Ohio and Youngstown State? That qualifies them for a BCS appearance? They beat Indiana? Come on! At least they didn't lose the BCSCG, just the FREAKING FIESTA BOWL! How'd they get in there? Put ANYONE else in there instead. Seriously, let's STOP with putting the sweatervest in those big games. But people are starting to catch on with tOSU....just like they've ALREADY caught on with....

Notre Dame football. After two craptastic seasons people are finally starting to realize that the team is all hype, ZERO substance. Actually, I may have spoken too soon. Apparently they will be Preseason top 10 this coming season. This according to 680 The Fan's new morning show host, Leo Mazzone. Yeah. Enough said.

Finally, Sergio Garcia. The guy craps the bed EVERY time he's in a major field. And if he is anywhere near the final pairing on Sunday, he might as well wear brown pants, because he shites himself EVERYTIME. Put him head-to-head with Tiger: He's DONE. Put him with Harrington: HE's DONE! Heck, in the Ryder Cup (an event he used to dominate because the captains never put him against REAL PLAYERS) put him with Anthony Kim: HE'S DONEZO! But for WHATEVER reason NBC, ABC, ESPN and CBS think we want to watch him. WATCH HIM FAIL YET AGAIN! That's fun, but after a while, it is like rubbernecking at an accident.

Bottom Line, I'm not sure why these four sports entities keep getting due. Clemson bball has never done ANYTHING to warrant it; tOSU's sweatervest wearing coach sold his soul for ONE title and now is paying the reaper; Hey Notre Dame, it isn't 1940!; and Sergio isn't even the best player never-to-have-won-a-major: that's Anthony Kim imo! Come on guys, open up the eyes! Or just keep coming back to Sportsbyfletch to get straightened out. That's why I'm HERE!
