Way to go, Oregon State. Thanks to your victory over USC, the Pac 10 has officially transformed from Chinese fire drill to cluster fuck in China. I hope you’re happy with yourself, Beaver Nation. You better be celebrating with whiskey and firearms, because that’s what Tucson would have done. Don’t think for a second that we’re happy to see you play the stunner. What a sad state, when 90% of a conference hopes for little more than to ruin the national championship chances of their only super power. But, hey, that’s just the way the Pac rolls. And this year, to the Beavers go the spoils.

So the Conference of Champions is a mess. But is that really so bad? Let me put it this way: If Arizona is ever going to make it to their first Rose Bowl (sigh…), isn’t it going to take a year like this? Now, I’m not suggesting that the 2008(-09?) Wildcats are Rose Bowl bound. New Mexico, etc., etc. But as a team that hasn’t been in the top half of the conference for a decade, shouldn’t we crave chaos? Shouldn’t we praise the Beavers as harbingers of sweet anarchy? The way rauraur sees it, the only sensible way to live in this conference is without rules.

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. The Beavers are an agent of chaos.

Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.

Celebrate the Schadenfreude. Bear Down and buck the system. Look past your jealousy and be grateful to the Beavers.
