Posted November 19, 2008 at 9:47 amPosted by ESPN.com’s Ted Miller The college football nation is laughing at Washington and Washington State.
Their rivalry game on Saturday is a joke. Redubbed by some, the “Crapple Cup,” it will be played over purely negative stakes: The loser will earn the unofficial title of “Worst BCS Conference Team.” Washington, at 0-10, is the nation’s only winless team. Washington State, its closest game vs. a FBS foe being a 25-point margin of defeat, is saved from that ignoble status by a win over Portland State, an FCS team. Both teams stink. They are impossible not to mock. Their woebegone status is funny. Said Angela Carter, “Comedy is tragedy that happens to others.” Or as Mel Brooks less subtly noted, “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.” In football terms, both the Huskies and Cougars have walked into an open sewer together. One will crawl out covered in muck, but still alive. The other will remain alone and miserable in the sewer. Funny. That’s probably why so many comedians tell you humor comes from pain. A track from “George Carlin on Comedy,” in fact, is called “Comedy and Pain.” We laugh and crack wise because it’s easier than reflecting on what lies beneath. Otherwise, we engage the burdensome thought that under those jerseys and helmets and coaching headsets is a lot of pain.
