A Problem That Does Not Matter

There are some rumblings in the blogotubes about what's going to happen after this weekend at quarterback. The basic rundown being this: it looks pretty likely that Barkley won't play this weekend, due to shoulder soreness and he has a test to get his learner's permit, meaning Corp will get the start. So let's play out a hypothetical situation that is stupid. Corp plays well against Washington, solid win. Barkley's shoulder, next week, is still sore. Corp gets the start against Wazzu, because he's healthy and he just started. An easy win. Then what? The game after that is at Cal, presumably our hardest game left. Who do you start? Corp, who has played the previous games? Or Barkley, who was created in a lab by football scientists, and was given the charm of John Elway, the piety of Steve Young, and the playing-football-in-jeans-ability of Brett Favre. This is actually a tricky situation, seeing that Matt Barkley is the starter because Aaron Corp isn't the starter, but hey now he can be.

Answer: It does not matter. Say that you really love McFlurries (spoiler alert: incoming analogy), and you ate McFlurries for two weeks, and you were like "this is the best, this is the Heisman of milkshake-style desserts." But then you couldn't have McFlurries, all you could have is a Dairy Queen Blizzard. But a Dairy Queen Blizzard is also good, so then you ate that for two weeks. You are now in Berkeley, and you are offered either a McFlurry or a Dairy Queen Blizzard. What do you choose? Who cares. They are essentially the same thing. You just don't want a cup of milk that someone poured some M&Ms into (that is Garrett Green).

Long story short, I think it's possible that this is a debate the media might create in the next few weeks, if things play out this way. I have just solved it, so let's all just direct Lou Holtz and the ilk to this post and just stop anything before it starts.
