Indecent Exposure at College Football News

Avert your eyes, readers, if you can.  We've caught College Football News with their lazy just hanging out for all to see.

In the latest issue of its weekly Fearless Predictions, College Football News makes the following statement:

"Cal and USC have just one loss in conference play, meaning the winner in the Coliseum becomes the Rose Bowl and the loser is likely out of the race." (emphasis ours)

While we agree that the Rose Bowl is a venerable and praiseworthy institution in the college football kingdom, we find it hard to believe that either team would or could be transformed into a stadium seating 100,000 by virtue of a Saturday victory, pomp and tradition notwithstanding.

As with all instances of indecent exposure, this occurrence produces a mixture of shame and amusement for the viewer--a tendency to guffaw as well as blush.  For this reason, College Football News has earned a Totally Giggleworthy and the following Drunken Proofreading rating:

**** (four stars) - Yesh, I take thish waterbottle everywhere I go. It'sh water. No, you can't have any.
