"The Revenge of the Cupcakes! The big-deal unlimited-budget programs of the University of Colorado and Northwestern already have lost home games to Division I-AA clubs (Montana State and New Hampshire) they paid to come and be clobbered. Perennial cupcake Troy University, paid to travel to Tallahassee and be clobbered, instead was leading Florida State midway through the fourth quarter before running out of gas. The hapless University of Buffalo, which Auburn, Wisconsin and Boston College have hired to appear at their stadiums and be clobbered, took Bowling Green to triple overtime. And kudos to the Eastern Washington Eagles, a Division I-AA school hired by BCS pretender West Virginia so the Mountaineers could take the day off, for kicking a field goal that prevented West Virginia from boasting of a shutout. (Here the Mountaineers boast, anyway, claiming they "grounded" the Eagles, although it's a joke that a stacked team such as West Virginia is playing an overmatched I-AA club.) It's coming -- I can feel it -- the Revenge of the Cupcakes is in the air. College football's second echelon is tired of being hired to be clobbered. Sometime this season, a cupcake team is going to stage a major upset of a Top 25 school. Thus sayeth the football gods"

Evidently, the writer is pointing his finger at... Ohio State. Still, how dare he call BGSU cupcakes..

I've read that section several times. UB is certainly being referred to as "cupcakes", but from what I can tell it seems as though they were suprised, as I was, that the game went to tripple overtime with BG. I actually think they were referring to us as one of the top 25 teams.

[BGSUVA]

yea, not a slam at us..
however, its ashame that Texas drops a few spots for losing to tosu while wvu moves up for beating a 1-aa team...it should be the opposite

I llike the phrase BCS Pretender. Seems to me the D 1AA payoffs are making for stronger teams. Gee to bad the BCS pretenders are afraid of an enclusive playoff system. Bunch of Cowards Scheeming is the BCS.

Yes, I think you're right about Buffalo. I couldn't help thinking that the writer was hinting tOSU was the top 25 team to get knocked off this season , in which case Bowling Green would be the ideal "cupcake" candidate. ..In which case, we probably would merit a top 25 ranking, tOSU's otherwise perfect season lay in ruin at the hands of BGSU, and Tek-it-or-leave-it would beg forgiveness for his past transgressions.

I could almost live with BGSU losing all their remaining games this year IF they were the only team to beat OSU. What irony. What theatre. I could live with it, and I already have my lines ready for every OSU alum in my family.

WOW, thats a nice cart. But what are you gonna pull it with????? Lets just get past FIU with a win Saturday. The game in Columbus is a LONG way off yet.

[Zom]

Too much idle time on my hands, I think.
