The Pac-12 as ground vehicles - fullmetal - 09-27-2012

Not surprisingly, Stanford gets something big.

Quote:Stanford 2012--Ploddy, big, methodical while not being fast

Ford F250 King Ranch with the Power Stroke (heh) diesel. Some people think that a top end car has to be fast and luxurious, but there's all sorts of subcultures in which something else matters. If you want to combine a luxury interior with a brutal exterior you need the Ford F250 King Ranch with a 6.7 liter diesel engine. Sure it's not elegant on the outside, and it's not the fastest off the line, and the engine seems comically oversized, but the torque will have this behemoth moving faster than you think while carrying a load of linemen in the back. You could be driving your Ferrari and try and outrun the F250, but if there's not enough room to run, you'd better swerve fast, because otherwise you are literally getting trucked. Plus between the margin for Ford and the deductions taken on it as a working vehicle, it's the smart bet for people who want others to underwrite their top 10% lifestyle while playing at being blue collar.

Take a look at the other 11 teams here.

Stupid article written by one of literature's most famous losers. USC isn't the incumbent. Oregon is, and there isn't a lot of envy going on here.

Besides, we're a Hummer, dammit!

I dunno.  I like the blue-collar reference, and Hummers are definitely not blue-collar these days.  But U$C is no longer the incumbent, that's true.
