I don't follow college football so I stole the word 'Boisinnati' from a CBS Sports online columnist. Yesterday, at a meeting in our conference room, the fans of Boise State (of which BIPAC's President Greg Casey is the most vocal) were complaining about the insular, closed, out of touch, outdated, unfair system whereby only those teams playing in the BCS-recognized conferences are considered for the big bowl/national championship, even if others have a better record. Looking for political metaphors everywhere, I googled Bowl Championship Series and found a column entitled 'BCS Title Game is for the Big Boys.' The football pundit coined the word 'Boisinnati' for the two teams currently 5 – 0, in effect telling their fans to get over themselves. Boise State and Cincinnati weren't real football powers, thus not worthy to play in the big games. Sounds like the political operatives of the Republicans and Democrats arguing with each other about who is more popular, while the public snickers at both of them, somewhat intrigued by players who aren't as familiar.
