Mondays
are a terrible way to spend 1/7th of your life
to begin with, but waking up this morning was
especially difficult. Why? Simple – we’re
getting closer to Bowl season and that means yours
truly is shuffling through the mess that is the
BCS Polls and AP Polls. It’s madly confusing.
Apparently nobody in the entire universe really
understands it, but we all have to live with it.
Here are some of the highlights from this weekend:
• Louisville managed
to thump the previously undefeated Mountaineers
and become the new sweethearts of college football.
Personally, I’m uplifted by the fact we
don’t have to really hear about the Mountaineers
and their absurdly weak schedule anymore. It’s
a great time to be a Cardinal, but they’re
going to have to prove they can sack it up defensively
before I give them any real credit.
• Ohio State and Michigan
got pushed to their limits this weekend. Both
teams needed a swift kick in the behind to refocus
on the season. Ohio State still looks unbelievable
right now. I don’t think anybody can beat
them; not even Michigan.
• Probably the greatest
thing I saw all day happened in the ND vs. UNC
game: Terrail Lambert (ND cornerback) attempted
to jam UNC wide receiver, Hakeem Nicks, at the
line. Instead, Nicks shoved him on to the ground
as if he were a pedestrian child and then ran
a streak route to score an impressive 72 yard
bomb. It must be awful to get owned (especially
in slow motion!) on national television. I can
only hope Terrail Lambert’s mother wasn’t
watching…
• Jeff Samardzija is
now the all-time touchdown king of Notre Dame,
convincing me that I should be eating more perogies
as part of a successful polish diet
Despite the loss to Louisville,
West Virginia’s Pat White put in a heroic
effort totaling 347 total yards and four touchdowns
• Chris Leak lost me
as a believer when he threw three picks this weekend
against Vanderbilt. He’s still one of the
best passers in the game, but Colt McCoy of Texas
is certainly making a case as the best passer
in the league
• Question: Could
things get worse for the Clemson Tigers?
• Answer: No
• Is anyone else as
exited as I am for potentially having two Steve
Smiths on their fantasy team? Steve Smith is proving
to be a valuable asset to Booty and the USC Trojans
as a killer wide receiver. What a fun team to
watch.
• College Football’s
most elderly coach, Joe Paterno, was injured when
one of his tight-ends barreled in to his left
knee. After being convinced by his staff, Joe
Pa was carted off the field with a knee brace
and flown home for medical exams. Apparently,
even a fractured leg wasn’t going to stop
him from being on the sidelines. Now THAT’s
a feisty coach! Get well soon.
• USC and Notre Dame
are still staring at their clash, which will be
a statement game for both teams. Notre Dame, however,
has way more to gain since USC is ahead of them
in the polls. More on this as that game gets closer!
