Comments on: the fact that people still don’t respect the Saints http://thingskevinhates.com/2010/02/the-fact-that-people-still-dont-respect-the-saints/ i'm vehemently pedantic Sat, 19 Nov 2011 08:34:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: kevin http://thingskevinhates.com/2010/02/the-fact-that-people-still-dont-respect-the-saints/comment-page-1/#comment-321 kevin Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:01:57 +0000 http://thingskevinhates.com/?p=457#comment-321 Yes, but at least the Saints' ability to win a championship is not affected by people's disrespect toward them. I had been a bowl-system proponent for a long time, and while I'm still not crazy about the idea of a playoff, Boise State's inability to get the respect they deserve has been a major factor in swaying me to the playoff side. The final straw was when they pointed out how difficult it is for them to get games against BCS opponents. The BCS guys have nothing to gain: if they win, they were supposed to, and if they lose, it legitimizes Boise State (and by extension, the other non-BCS powers). I'd like to see as small a playoff as possible (4 to 8 teams), but I've finally come around that a slight watering-down of the regular season is preferable to the continued screwing-over of Boise State, TCU, etc. Yes, but at least the Saints’ ability to win a championship is not affected by people’s disrespect toward them.

We won a BCS game, went undefeated and are losing exactly one starter for next year, we have everybody else back, and we're still getting no respect. I feel your pain. Screw em, enjoy the championship :D Boise State fans have been facing this for years.
