Paul Ryan Has No Idea How College Rivalries Work

Paul Ryan, the former Republican presidential nominee hopeful, was apparently in charge of getting all the delegates on the same page something at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday morning. The day after he showed up in Cleveland waving a Steelers Terrible Towel, he tried to get fans of different college programs to come together to support Donald Trump.

In two seperate instances, Ryan spoke to delegates from North Carolina and Texas, asking them about rooting for their in-state rivals when they reach big games. Both times people disagreed, shooting down Ryan’s bad and poorly-worded analogy. The people of North Carolina elicited a “good grief” from Ryan and the Texans made him admit his entire premise was “obliterated.” While speaking to the Texas delegates, he then explained that everyone in the B1G roots for Ohio State or Michigan whenever they make the Rose Bowl. I’m not sure how many Wisconsin fans are going to back that up.

The good news is that the reference to his dogs being named “Boomer” and “Sooner” totally killed. Finally, justification for his pandering!
