OT: FBS Teams as Pokemon
http://www.sbnation.com/college-football...his-is-fun

Quote:Appalachian State: Geodude. Underrated. Sturdy, solid, great defense. At home near mountains.

Arkansas State: Rattata is a perfectly useful, offense-focused early Pokemon. No matter how many coaches change, or where your journeys take you, Rattata will always be willing to Hyper Fang you.

Georgia Southern: Digletts don't fly. They do everything with their ground game. And they'll absolutely hang 40 on you.

Georgia State: The Cable Club is the section next to the Pokemon Center where you can battle your friends. Fighting right next to a hospital seems very Atlanta.

Idaho: New Mexico State, but a tiny bit better and a tiny bit weirder. Omastar.

Louisiana-Lafayette: The Ragin' Cajuns probably need to be a seafood, right? Let's go with Cloyster, which we bet could taste great with enough butter.

Louisiana-Monroe: A hard-to-figure program near the heart of Duck Dynasty? That's clearly Psyduck.

New Mexico State: A far-flung program that isn't very good, difficult to use, and might be forgotten soon? That's Omanyte.

South Alabama: Elecmon. Elecmon isn't actually a Pokemon, but a Digimon, a rival, knock-off version of Pokemon. That's fitting, since South Alabama wants to just be a discount, knock-off Bama.

Texas State: Okay, now this is getting pretty tough. Thinking about Texas State football too long will probably make you sick, just like Koffing.

Troy: Zapdos, a legendary electric bird and the most badass Pokemon not yet claimed. It has nothing to do with Troy. We just felt like saying something nice about Troy.

The Venn diagram intersection of people who can name most FBS teams/mascots and any Pokemon characters is probably very small.

Count me into that intersection, along with 3 or 4 other friends who are avid college sports fans who used to be into Pokemon when we were kids.

As someone who has watched a fair-share of Texas State athletics, I can see this one. The late-inning bullpen meltdowns, the anemic football offense, the Knee, National TV blowouts, and dont even get me started on shootyhoops.... 03-puke

I stand ready to impress you.

As for the OT, I was pretty disappointed that we didn't even get an actual Pokemon. Magikarp would have been a good choice, seeing how we went all Gyarados as the season progressed.

How did Troy get a legendary bird??? Zapdos is on my belt for every trip to the Pokemon league. Troy ain't no Zapdos.

I'd say Auburn, Michigan, and Florida are Zapdos, Multres, and Articuno respectively.

Now that you mention it, it's weird that Zapdos is the only legendary bird on the list. Auburn and Florida both got Stage 2 starters, at least.
