More bad news from the frontier of the Holy Roman College Football Empire. Four barbarian tribes are now attacking the outposts of our revered Bowl Championship Series.  Outpost #13 has sent word via messenger that it is being attacked by barbarians with huge dogs.  Originally thought to be the Huns, it was later discovered that this bloodthirsty pack of savages was named for it's dogs, the Huskies.  This group of despicable outlanders was previously seen raping and pillaging our sister empire, the Holy Roman College Basketball Empire.  No one beiieved that they had the heavy cavalry necessary to take on the Football Empire.  We will closely monitor this situation.

Nearby  Outpost #14 reports successful attacks by a ruthless horde of Warriors, dressed in nothing more than shorts and  flower necklaces.  They are led by a fierce chieftain named after a horse, who apparently can throw a spear unbelievable distances.  These man-beasts also are known to attack with twirling torches, lit at both ends.

Scattered reports of seperate attacks at outposts  numbers 18 and 22 have also been received.  Outpost #18 has undergone sporadic attacks by a nomadic tribe that rides bulls into battle.  This is the same group of outcasts who overran and held outpost #2 for an entire week before retreating after being driven off by a group of Knights.  Last week it appears that this bullriding group of pillagers was decimated by the Husky tribe noted above.  It is not yet clear whether they are retreating or merely regrouping.

Finally, Outpost  #22 reports the reemergence of  the Boise Visigoths who were responsible for the sack and massacre of Oklahoma last year.  The commander of Outpost #22 noted that these villains are presently at work building a statue similar to the horse statue  used by the Greeks at Troy.  However, this new construction more closely resembles the Statue of Liberty.

The Holy Roman Football Empire has called upon all Football Old Guard Heroes of Righteous Normalcy (FOGHORNs) to assemble immediately and disperse these vandals.  Presently under consideration are defensive measures such as 1)Allowing no one to enter the Bowl Championship Series unless they can produce the official talisman with the Big 10, Pac-10, Big 12, SEC, or ACC emblem on it.  and 2)Simply changing the BCS bylaws to allow no entry to the Bowl Championship by any team that has not had at least one recruiting, burglary, bar fight, or rape scandal.

A representative of the barbarian tribes opined that these measures even if adopted, were unlikely to stop the onslaught.  "We're barbarians," said the spokesman.  "We don't believe in laws."  More on this story later tonight on The BCS Evening News with Dan Blather.
