"HEY, BRENT! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Wake Forest rolled into Tallahassee for the Saturday Night Game of the Week on ESPN on ABC, the 7 point dog against the Florida State Seminoles. This was the first time that the Demon Deacons were ranked higher (18) than Florida State (?) since...forever; and, the Deacs were looking to go 9-1 against a bigger, faster, better loved team. I say better loved because Brent Musberger was doing the call of the game, and judging by his praise of Coach Bobby Bowden, one could only conclude that immediately following the game, they were going to be Massachusetts-bound so that these two lovebirds could get married to each other. Or, at the very least, to head out to the Tallahassee Hilton for a little spooning.

It took approximately three and a half quarters (and 30 unanswered points) for Brent to admit that Wake Forest was, on November 11, 2006, the better team. So much better that they shut FSU out for the first time in 232 games. So much better that the FSU fans were pleading for a safety, and relief from the shut out. So much better that Bobby Bowden couldn't find a quarterback or a play that would make a difference in Wake Forest's dominance of the Seminoles.

Now mind you, I made two predictions for this game last week (trust me, or I can show you the proof). One was for the Wake Forest victory over the Seminoles (I called it 21-20, Wake) and one was for Bowden to lose his job as a result of the humilation for being beaten by the third-smallest school in NCAA Division I (only Rice and Tulsa are smaller).

But Bowden was gracious in defeat, and my annoyance with him was superceded by my annoyance with Brent Musberger. He is, quite possibly, the worst football announcer ever (and the third worst sports announcer, overall).

I am happy for the win. Now, I have decided that Brent Musberger (and his biased, sloppy announcing) must go.

Oh, and since Wake got the win, let's have a little bit of the alma mater:
