But what if it it is *Princeton* that ends your championship string?

....One of the interesting things about the Rice team of 1962 was that
they produced two tie games that knocked Texas U and LSU out of the #1
spot. It's generally accepted that it was JFK's speech about "Why [the
****] does Rice [bother to] play Texas [knowing they're going to get
the living **** beat out of them]?" that gave the Rice football team
the inspiration to at least lose brilliantly. It proved that even a
last-place team can spoil the champs' dreams, and that's what it's all
about - if you can't win, at least **** the other guy up so bad he
won't be able to enjoy it.
