Monday Morning Cornerback: Week 13 – Rivalry WeekendNovember 30, 2009
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the holiday weekend…..
College
Yes, Colt McCoy did ball out against Texas A&M. Was that his “Heisman” game? No, it wasn’t. His tackle after his interception in the OU game was his “Heisman” moment if he wins the Heisman Trophy. I hope he doesn’t, I think Toby Gerhart or CJ Spiller is more deserving of the award.
Why can’t Texas A&M play every game like they did against Texas? It makes no sense, and don’t give me that rivalry game excuse bullshit. Rivalry games are based on pride, but isn’t every game? No excuses.
Auburn gave Bama everything they had. The better team won in the end, it also got exposed just in time for Florida to take notes going into this weekends SEC championship game. Also it helps that Florida virtually had a bye week this past weekend and Bama had to fight for their lives. Hope those bruises heal up quick for the Tide.
If Tony Pike doesn’t get hurt this season he wins the Heisman. 6TDs on Senior day. Anyone catch that one handed grab in the back of the end zone by Mardy Gilyard? Sick! On the other hand, I’ve never seen anyone fall harder than Juice Williams. What happened? No really, what happened with Juice over the past two seasons?
Nevada and Colin Kaepernick gave Boise St. all they could, but Boise St. is just the better team overall.
Backyard Brawl was a great game. Both Pitt and WVU played great, but as with all the rivalry games this weekend, the underdog prevailed. Noel Devine and Dion Lewis put on a freaking show!
Tim Tebow‘s final home game. I didn’t tear up like the rest of the world, but I could feel the emotional moment. He never lost against FSU. Those new Nike Pro Combat uniforms were nice too (pics below).
I hope FSU doesn’t push out Bobby Bowden. The man has changed college football and has earned the right to leave on his own terms. Florida State! He helped make you who you are, you push him out and might very well face the curse of the Bowdeno. 62 years of losing ain’t cool.
I can’t wait to see TCU and Bama in the consolation championship game. Hope Bama learned their lesson from last year, those Mountain West conference teams come to play!
Rivalry weekend casualty #4, Georgia Bulldogs 30 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 24. I”m lost on these teams playing their hearts out for rivalry games. I mean, you should play like that every weekend!
unranked OU Sooners defeates #12 ranked OSU Cowboys. How? “rivalry weekend” (crock of shit? i wholeheartedly agree). It must also be known they shut out the Cowboys 27-0. BOOMER SOONER BABY!
Rivalry weekend was full fledged in the Carolinas. South Carolina upset Clemson and NC State upset UNC. Damn rivalry weekend. I don’t believe in it, but they make for good ass games especially during the holiday weekend.
The Holy War was just that. BYU‘s, Max Hall, didn’t play a great game but when you toss the game winning touchdown in OT, nothing else really matters but the win. BYU 26 Utah 23.
The Battle for Los Angeles was normal. USC putting a beat down on UCLA. The funny and hypocritical thing was Pete Carroll calling a deep ball to Damien Williams after UCLA called a timeout when USC was trying to go into the victory formation. Pete was upset when Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was running up the score on him, but he was doing the same thing to UCLA.
Oh Jevan Snead, Oh Jevan Snead. You made me look like an idiot. And to think I picked you for my dark horse Heisman candidate. Last year everyone wondered what would have happened if Snead stayed at Texas. Well buddy your making Mack Brown look like a genius for sticking with Colt. Ole Miss loses to Mississippi State in another rivalry game upset this weekend 41-27.
Bayou Bucket….Houston 73 to Rice‘s 14 points. Ouch, Rice musta said something about somebody’s mama.
Best game of the college weekend was Notre Dame and Stanford. These two teams went back and forth. Michael Floyd who? It’s all about Golden Tate baby, that kid is a monster. Toby Gerhart needs to be in NYC for the Heisman. Oh well, at least Charlie Weis‘ last game was a thriller.
Here was the last installment of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms this weekend
Florida – “Finish the Mission”
Miami – “The U Knows”
LSU – “Cochon De Lait”
Texas – “Texas Fight/It Only Takes Eleven”
NFL
NFL Thanksgiving Day football….errr boring.
Charles Woodson, not Darren Sharper is the defensive player of the year. Hands down.
Of course the Cowboys looked good against the Raiders.
Darius Heyward-Bey caught his first touchdown pass of the year. I am not sure if we should be calling him out or calling out the Raiders quarterback play on Bey’s disappointing rookie season.
What has happened to the Giants….gahh lee.
Mattey Ice was ice cold at the end of the game yesterday to Roddy White to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Only in the NFL can a bottom cellar dweller of a team defeat a playoff team, i.e. Dolphins vs. Bills this weekend.
The Carolina Panthers want a quarterback for Christmas. Hell, I want one for them.
The Texans got on top of the Colts 17-0 yesterday. Why did the let off the gas. The started playing not to lose in the 2nd quarter, WTF! Well, you know what happens when you pussy foot with Peyton Manning, he wins, every single time leading his team to 28 unanswered points to win, 35-27. Colts are 10-0 and don’t look they are letting up anytime soon.
Brett Favre has 24 TDs and 3 Ints. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.
Colin Cowherd isn’t buying any Vince Young stock, but I am. Matter of fact, I never sold any of my original stock, but I am buying some more. I”ve bought a little more each week and after that 99 yard drive, I’m stocking up for the winter so it can keep me warm.
Not sure what Hines Ward is talking about. Sure Ben Roethlisberger practiced all week long, because his injury heals overtime not overnight. So a smart team/coach/player will prepare for the best, which is for the doctors to deem Benny Roe good enough to play before the game. The doc didn’t do that so the Steelers rolled with Dennis Dixon. Hines might be tough, but if he keeps on being tough and plays with concussions he’ll be soft like the rest of the former NFL vegetable players. Hines Ward pulled a true T.O. He needs to go to his quarterback and apologize, point blank.
That’s all I got,
Ricky Writer

Great post. Thanks for the helpful cheat sheets. Now maybe I’ll get my head wrapped around this stuff. Probably not, but it’s a goal. Gotta have them goals.
certainly like your web-site but you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth then again I will certainly come back again.
This is a prime example of great writing. I think you’ve made valid points and formatted this in a clean and clear way. Thank you.
Awesome piece of information! May I reference part of this on my blog if I post a backlink to this webpage? Thank you.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’m still working on my small blog and having plenty of mistakes on this topic you have discussed. One big lesson I learned is you need to distinguish the finishing goal of your write-up inspiring people to do something and be able to move in the proper direction. For me, this took time to realize precisely what my desired goals were. When I overcame that, it was very easy for me to teach in addition to help others in this field.

One big secret I learned is that you simply need to distinguish the final goal of your write-up inspiring people to do something and be able to move in the appropriate direction.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Heya i am for the first time here. I found this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and aid others
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
A number of nice tips in this article. I believe number one is an essential factor of all, considering that laziness is our biggest enemy in succeeding as an expert on this issue, we need to be continually inspired or determined, either way to actually find some work done. Really great and informative write-up. I can surely grab some useful tips along with advice here to implement to make my well being better. Anyway, excellent article and thanks for sharing.
I’ve not visited your site for quite a while. I don’t know how I missed this article. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this information on your web site. A devotee of mine was the first one who told me about this article on your site. There have been so many of the things other bloggers wouldn’t understand when it comes to really assisting others in this area. I think your case is different. Thanks
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Many people are overwhelmed by the concept of writing frequently. However, the more you write, the harder you can write and let others understand you better concerning this subject. Forums are also a wonderful solution to meet like minds and be a pro in this topic. But I have seen that a website like yours is also a great learning platform, especially in certain questionable areas.
One more thing I would like to add, is that whenever some people start mastering this topic and they are not seeing improvements, they start to quit. And this is not how it must be. Even if you’re not getting great results at first, keep it up during few months till you discover good authority web-sites like this where you could get enough points that could hadly be discovered even in the most expensive e books.
very good
Thank you for sharing the link – but unfortunately it seems to be off ? Does someone have a mirror or some other source? Thank you, Susan Used Cars NJ

I’ve long well advised that people seeking to have a good understanding of this particular topic spread their particular research across several blogs so as not to deal with wrong information. You’ve got provided so many areas for people like me in the first place. But this can be difficult for some. Let’s keep in mind the only real enemy available is not being focused. This can happen to some. Consequently my advice is: Stay focused. Thank you

Great artical, I unfortunately had some problems printing this artcle out, The print formating looks a little screwed over, something you might want to look into.
I have been blogging within this same topic for nearly 2 years now, – what I have generally believed is that it needs time to work to be able to overcome with this thing. But when I read your post, I was truly amazed that there are many ways to go about it and acquire and even much better benefits. Maybe that is why I’ve not really had a many loyal readers. I should have consulted this site first before starting my very own.
Hey great news man. Thanks for sharing. Yet as far as i tried it takes pretty long time to have good results. One need to have real patience for getting desired results. Recently I tried out some web sites for new ideas but I did not get very much, which is really undesirable. The key to becoming successful is being willing to understand. I think your site will be a good place for me to commence.

Thank you for a concise content that manages to always be informative and positive at once. Bravo!!! I recently had to visit your web site. Fantastic! I once got a new book from the online store that discusses the same thing in this article. But I found yours easier to understand, especially for the elderly person as i am. I’ll be sharing the idea with my friends and also family. Today I’ve learned some things from you.
