Palin could probably take Fitz on in a game of basketball

Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin is an educational whore, much like our friend and Red and Black sports editor Michael Fitzpatrick. Fitz has been to seven different schools in as many years, something that Palin nearly accomplished in college, when she attended six schools in six years.

This comparison has absolutely no relevance unless you think about luck of each individual:

• Fitz jumped from gymnastics beat writer at Arizona to sports editor at Georgia within a few months. If Palin is this lucky, she could jump from governor to VP in the same timeframe.
• Fitz was criticized on the national stage when he shocked the world with his preseason rankings by not putting his own school at No. 1, going against the entire Milky Way. Palin was criticized on the national stage when her 17-year-old daughter became pregos. Read more…

Only Fitz would have this kind of luck.

Michael Fitzpatrick, the sports editor of The Red and Black — the student newspaper for the University of Georgia — voted Georgia No. 2 in the UWIRE preseason football poll and picked Ohio State No. 1 in the nation. This is a shocker for two reasons: one, he attends Georgia and two, he was virtually the only person in the Milky Way to place Georgia in any spot besides the No. 1 spot. OK, he wasn’t completely alone, but you get the point.

Now, we know Fitz very well. A little too well, actually. We love to give him a hard time and tease him about the fact that he’s attended seven different schools in as many years and that his hair looks like an animal sitting on his head at times. And now we’ve got a buddy (Adam from UWIRE) to help treat Fitz like a human punching bag.

UWIRE — the college version of the Associated Press — has jumped on the Fitz bandwagon to question why he does what he does. Listen closely to the conversation. The UWIRE host takes a few jabs at Fitz, implying that he won’t have any sexual relations with any females during his tenure at UGA, which will last two semesters so that he can keep alive his trend of being an educational whore/transient.
