I thought “chosen reservoir” was good and pertinent. Its a takeoff on an army battle fought during the Korean War where we were bottled up at Chosun Reservoir(a small reservoir near the Korean/China border) and cut off by the North Koreans aided by massive Chinese troops . We were in danger of losing an entire Division, but fought valiantly to break out and escape. Thereafter MacArthur landed on the eastern peninsular and fought across Korea to separate into two parts at the 38th parallel and prevented the Red Chinese Army from solidifying all of Korea.
Dawg in Fla was alluding to Murray’s Jewish background and as the “chosen one” in this small reservoir of QBs to lead us out of sure destruction. The matchup is clever and pertinent. I apologize for the history lesson that you probably knew, but thought perhaps everone else didn’t. Consider this my first lobby to a good cause.

Pearl-Harbored (synonymous with 9/11’d) – describes the condition of a traditional CFB power being defeated by an absolute bottom-feeder from a lower division; as when Nick Saban compared Bama’s 2007 loss to Louisiana-Monroe to two of the darkest days in American history.
One could also perhaps tease out an alternative – but archaic in CFB terms -usage from the Miami vs Penn Statematchup in January 1987 when the Canes’ Thug Era was in its fullest flower. One of their star players, Jerome Brown, proclaimed at a steak dinner that was hosting both teams that sitting down to dinner with the Nittanies made as much sense as the Japanese sitting down with “Pearl Harbor”; then he proceeded to lead his team in a walkout from the dinner. However, it was the highly favored Canes which lost the actual battle on the field, 14-7 – although that was a closer score than the final result of the actual war to which Brown so foolishly referred.

I thought the Herbstreit Doctrine was to rationalize the Big 10 into a national title game at all costs, even if it means contradicting your earlier logic.
