  • A Cautionary Tale

    Once there was a football kingdom named Provotopia. There, the huddled masses within were in search of a great leader to lead them after their last great general moved on to Valhalla



    ================================================== ================================================== =================

    The citizens were greatly concerned until they heard of rumblings that The Annointed One from the Northwest was coming to lead them to the promised land. How was it that he could be the Annointed One they asked? Because he told them himself:



    ================================================== ================================================== ====================

    This was also confirmed quite frequently and exuberantly by the town crier:



    ================================================== ================================================== ======================

    The huddled masses were in awe of The Annointed One and many predicted sweeping victories by this great leader on the plains of battle. Yet to their shock and dismay, The Nimble One:



    was chosen to be the general over The Annointed One.

    ================================================== ================================================== =========

    This led to much strife and malcontent amongst the people of Provotopia. The Shakaites supported The Nimble One and fought gallantly against The Gracians(who were believers in the prophecy of The Annointed One). This skirmish lasted only for a short season as The Nimble One was wounded in battle, and The Annointed One was lifted up to his rightful position in the kingdom.

    "Surely we shall now will be led to the promise land!!" cried the people of Provotopia. "With The Annointed One, we shall be led to Zion!". Yet, the Annointed One struggled to lead their forces to victory. How could this be!?!?! The only conclusion that they could find was that there must be a sabateur, an awful person who was vexing The Annointed One from inside the Kingdom. Murmurings started to flow through the Kingdom; many felt they had found the ursurper of justice. He would be only known from that point forward as The Evil One:



    ================================================== ================================================== ================

    Once identified, the villagers of Provotopia set out to eliminate the effects of The Evil One. They found the one who would overcome his guiles and help The Annointed One lead them to victory. He became known as The Chosen One:



    ================================================== ================================================== ================

    Once the battles had ceased, The Almighty Ruler of Provotopia:



    Removed The Evil One from his place of influence and replaced him with The Chosen One.

    The huddled masses of Provotopia rejoiced. "How can we not be sure to succeed with The Annointed One being fully supported by The Chosen One!!?!?!"

    However, victory eluded the Provotopians yet again. "We are doomed!!" cried the peasants, "We are forsaken!" cried the soldiers.

    ================================================== ================================================== =============

    What the Provotopians did not know was that The Annointed One rose from the loins of The Charaltan:



    ================================================== ================================================== ============

    Who was sent to them from the great Northwest by one of their most hated, bitter enemies:



    And evil had prevailed once again.

    great story, but you forgot the part about the bonfire.

      Quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever read on CUF. This post should sweep every applicable category at the next Cuffie awards.

          Even when the last great general had his 6 turnover game against the Utes he didn't quit. I bet Y fans would like to see a tenth of the last great general's attitude in the anointed one.

              The day after a historic beatdown, a Ute just made me laugh with postgame smack.

              Well done.

                  Could become a classic.

                      I think this is very well done, but you need to add something about Norm Chow coming back and curb-stomping BYU (although BYU already played him at USC). In addition, Robert Anae was run off for many of the same supposed reasons as Norm Chow. Anae apparently just had a personality problem and we just couldn't put up with that along with his top 25 offenses.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            Funny. But it seems really odd for someone to have this much insight and knowledge for a team he can't stand.
