Weasel of the Week: "Tracy C."

I am reminded once again of something one of my teachers often said when I was in high school:

"Stupidity runs rampant!"

Never has this been more evident than in the wake of the "Iron Bowl" between Auburn & Alabama on November 30. The nationally televised game ended with the now-instantly-legendary Chris Davis kick return for a touchdown off a missed field goal by Alabama's Adam Griffith. Unfortunately, there are too many people bleeding the red of the Crimson Tide who can't accept the fact that the two-time defending national champions saw their hopes for a 3-peat take a plunge on Saturday night.

I handed out Dunce Caps earlier this week to the idiots who posted death threats on Twitter to Alabama senior placekicker Cade Foster, whose misfortune led to his benching in favor of Griffith, a freshman, for the fatal kick. Now, four days later, a set of Weasel ears are being sent to another inebriated fool. Identifying himself as "Tracy C." from Hoover, Alabama, this dimwit thought Davis stepped out of bounds, and thus, the touchdown would be taken off the board, leading into overtime. Auburn is prepping for the Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta this weekend vs. Missouri, and all "Tracy" is doing is trying to mess them up psychologically so they'd lose to Missouri, which would give the Tide a chance, albeit a small one, of getting back in line for the BCS title game next month.

What this moron did was initiate a petition on www.change.org, which reads something like this:

"Chris Davis from Auburn was clearly out of bounds in running the missed field goal back for a touchdown in the 2013 Iron Bowl. There was way to much riding on this game for that to have been missed- a SEC Championship and National Championship. I think they should put together an overtime play for Auburn and Alabama. Yes, I know how impossible that sounds and how much trouble it will be BUT sometimes you have to make wrongs RIGHT and with so much riding on that game the SEC and NCAA needs to make it right for the players, university, fans, coaches, SEC and SPORTS in general. And if they don't like the hassel then go out and make sure your employees, the refs, are not making such HUGE mistakes. And the refs needs to be punished for not even reviewing the play because it wasn't even close- he was CLEARLY out of bounds. Its not fair to say that this is over and overtime can't be played now just because of how much trouble this would be to put together. It was wrong....and you need to make it right regardless of the hassel. SEC and NCAA- do the right thing and make this right for everyone involved!!"

Apparently, "Tracy C." didn't finish school, else he'd have cleaned up his spelling errors.

Luckily, the petition has been closed with more than 700 signatures, most of which, according to the New York Daily News, mocked the pointless venture. I'd give "Tracy" a Dunce Cap, too, but he'd use that as a commode. Instead, he's a Weasel for attempting to ruin what was an instant classic.
