USC/Clemson moved for a teeny bopper?

It’s been known for months that the teeny-bopper was playing a show across town at the Colonial Life Arena on the same night as the USC-Clemson game. The concert conflict forced adult fans from both teams to choose between their kids or football.

But apparently officials from the schools found a way to accommodate these torn fans by setting a 12 p.m. kickoff for a game that would likely otherwise begin later in the evening.

I'd be pissed.....

Spike TV came up with the top 10 most annoying fans. #8 about made me wet myself laughing:

8. Duke Blue Devils Basketball

Every Friday night, just before Dick Vitale pleasures Mike Krzyzewski under the scorers table, a collection of nerdy Duke students pitch tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium and stay up all night playing board games while waiting in line to watch their team make yet another glorious run to the second round of the NCAA tournament. They put on full blue body paint, jump around like a bunch of meth addicts for three hours, and then wonder why the school’s virginity rate is right on par with their field goal percentage. The average Duke fan is like that kid in elementary school with a collared shirt and pleated slacks who asks the teacher if she forgot to assign homework, while his Mommy tells him that “people are just jealous of how unique and talented you are” when nobody comes to his birthday party at the Planetarium.

Derrick Locke came close to dropping the ball before the goal line. It happened again Sunday.

Jeff Sagrin and ESPN teamed up to rate each Division I program. Feel free to question the math.

I have to agree with UK being #1 (yeah I know, duh)...although I'd have UNC higher than 4, just my opinion. And Illinois over Duke? That one actually made me happy.

Then you have the haters. Pat Forde will not take it sitting down:
