Ball State's coming for its blindfold and cigarette

I enjoyed this passage from Ben Smith's column in today's Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:
"So now we come to Hors D'oeuvre Week in Norman, Okla., which is great unless you're the hors d'oeuvre. Then you're just 800 pounds of hog waiting to be breakfast. Then they hand you a blindfold, a cigarette and a fat thanks-for-playing check, not necessarily in that order."
And this one:
"The Cardinals have Marcus Merriweather and Shafer Suggs and Tim Brown and Nate Davis. The Sooners have Billy Sims and the Selmon boys and, way back, Bud Wilkinson. It's really not fair.
"On the other hand, this week isn't about fair. That's because, if you're a smart man, it's not really about Ball State vs. Oklahoma, but Ball State vs. Ball State."
