Robin Williams Loves The Cocks!

Dear Mr. Robin Williams,

We heard that in your recent appearance at the Peace Center in Greenville, South Carolina that you came out as a fan of University of South Carolina football. Now, we here at If I Blog It They Will Come have never been huge fans of the Cocks. We almost bought one of their hats when we were fourteen, but in all honesty, we've been Syracuse Orangemen (yes, we know they're now called The Orange, we just can't bring ourselves to shorten it) fans through and through over the past several years. However, over the past seven or eight seasons or so our favorite college football team has descended into the cellar of the Big East division and we think it's time we switched teams.

That is why, with our favorite actor/comedian as our field general, we're taking up the Cocks cause. It is our hope that with our re-pledging of NCAA allegiance a nation of South Carolina Gamecock fans will get behind us in our quest to get you to send a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com. We hope they'll take it upon themselves this weekend during the big LSU game to begin a chant along the lines of "Hey Robin Williams, Go To If I Blog It They Will Come and Send A photo of yourself looking at their site to djayek@yahoo.com. Go Cocks!"

If you are not swayed by your favorite collegiate football team's fan base and this post, well then I guess we'll just have to try harder.

Sincerely,
The Gamecock Fans at If I Blog It They Will Come

P.S. Clemson, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida all suck!

March Madness Boycott

N.C. State Forward Brandon Costner...Any relation?

Hey Mr. Costner,

We hope you're enjoying the Ides of March at home. We here at "If I Blog It They Will Come" are not. With the NCAA March Madness Tournament beginning today, frankly, we're a little confused who to root for. For one, our Syracuse Orange were completely snubbed and thereby relegated to the NIT. We wanted to cheer for your alma-mater Cal State-Fullerton, but sadly they were nowhere to be found in the field of 64 either. There weren't even any other teams with the same nickname (Titans) to throw our support behind.

That's when we remembered that N.C. State had a player by the name of Brandon Costner (any relation?). We searched our bracket to see when N.C. State was going to take the floor today. Much to our chagrin, we discovered that the N.C. State Wolfpack was also relegated to the NIT. How could the selection committee do that? Didn't they realize the perfect opportunity for a headline should Wolfpack go all the way in the big dance with A Costner on their team. I could see it now, the cover of Sports Illustrated reading "Dances With Wolves: Costner leads Pack to NCAA Title". Alas, the NCAA selection committee wouldn't know a good storyline if it smacked 'em in the face. That's why this year's NIT is the tournament to watch.

Anyway, with no one to root for, we've decided to boycott the NCAA tournament altogether and were hoping that you would join us. Until the NCAA Selection committee realizes that Brandon Costner, the Syracuse Orange, and/or Cal St. Fullerton deserves a shot at the title, we can't in good conscience enjoy College Basketball. If you support our cause please feel free to send us a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com. This way we can start putting pressure on the NCAA for next year's tournament. Thanks for your time and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
The Disappointed College Basketball Fans at "If I Blog It They Will Come"
