Monday Morning Cornerback: Week 9

November 4th, 2009 | By boadurichard

Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the weekend

My case is proven. If Miami played Virginia Tech on a dry field the Canes would only have one loss on their record this season. Did anyone see the Tar Heels defense? Why haven’t they been playing like this all year.

West Virginia is due to win one of their big games. Cincy or Pitt which one will it be?

As skeptical as I’ve been of B.J. Daniels, this Frosh is the real deal and is officially 6Magazine approved!

The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party was a great party for the 2000s. It’s was freaking party for Florida fans to watch Georgia get beat 8 times out of 10. Hopefully the 20-teens will serve better for the Dawgs.

I find it odd that OSU didn’t get any calls at home. I also feel sorry for Zac Robinson dropped balls left and right and no Dez Bryant. Texas defense is good and OSU probably wouldn’t have pulled out the victory anyway. Earl Thomas gets my vote for the Thorpe award. The kid is like Ed Reed all over again.

Indiana got jobbed. As will Iowa when the BCS results come out in a couple of weeks and they are undefeated on the outside looking in. Tell them to thank the Big Ten commissioner who voted against the playoff or plus one system.

Celebrate now Oregon. USC is in a rebuilding year. We all know that. LaMichael James or Dion Lewis, who is your favorite Frosh RB?

TCU is #6 in the country, but no one goes to their home games. Maybe if this was Maine, Vermont, Indiana, states where football is not king, but in Texas?

Boise St. is smooth sailing into a BCS game and if they keep it up a championship game next year. Preseason polls suck because they pigeon hole teams before they ever set foot on the field. If we are going to keep this stupid BCS let’s not vote on who’s the best team until week 7 and start the BCS calculations until Week 9. Capice?

Cincy. Word to the wise BearCats. (why do we call it “word to the wise” if they are so wise then why do they need our advice?) Texas will stumble this year. Learn from their mistake they committed last year.

LSU is getting by on a mediocre season and schedule. Funny how when the SEC seems to have an off year the rest of the country does as well.

Utah is one Terrance Cain interception away from being in Oregon’s shoes right now. Don’t sleep on the Utes this bowl season. Ask ‘08 Alabama.

Do I really have to talk about Ohio State beating New Mexio State 45-0?

If Houston had a lick of defense they’d be undefeated. Like it or not Case Keenum needs to be in NYC for the Heisman presentation. If Colt Brennan can go from the WAC Case can go from C-USA.

With a win over Duke and another conference loss for GA Tech, The U could be in the ACC championship game.

OU has the best cornerback tandem in the nation. Brandon Banks is the best wide receiver you’ve never heard about.

I was diggin’ the black Tennesse unis and the Georgia change up as well.

Golden Tate is making me forget about Michael Floyd.

Jevan Snead has solidified me as an idiot. (I picked him as a 1st team All-American)

When I heard UCONN lost, I felt bad for them. They’ve gone 0-2 since losing starting CB, Jasper Howard, to a stab wound two weeks ago. But when I heard the player that scored the winnig touchdown for Rutgers was Howard’s best friend, Tim Brown who also doubles as a WR for Rutgers, I didn’t feel so bad.

I don’t know what you heard, but FSU vs. NC State was the game of the week. The highlights below won’t show it, but Russell Wilson balled his ass off. Passing 20/30 for 349 yards and 5 tds. It’ll be interesting to see how the careers of Wilson, Terrelle Pryor, and Robert Griffin all turn out.

Ron Zook finally won a game. Rich Rodriguez’s Michigan Wolverines continued their losing streak. Ron Zook beat Michigan! Rich Rodriguez lost to Ron Zook and the Fighting Illini.

NFL

The Raven’s defense finally played like the Ravens defense. Kyle Orton mistook his Broncos uniform for a Bear’s uniform.

T.O., T.O., T.O., I feel for you man. I really do. Now you know how Randy Moss felt in Oakland. They say Trent Edwards is coming back.

Ted Ginn Jr. keep up the good work. Lobby to return some punts. Take more kicks back, play your role as the slot receiver, and you might work your way back into the starting lineup. You’ve been playing ball all your life, don’t make it hard than what it needs to be.

Giants? What’s going on? 40 points?

I am being completely honest. JaMarcus Russell is playing better.

Vince Young starts. Vince Young wins. I love it when people say he can’t win with his style but he won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and led his team to the playoffs and that same team bailed on him yet he continues to win when they need him.

I can’t decide who is more fickle. Kurt Warner or Brett Favre. At least Favre’s fickleness isn’t on the football field. Warner’s right arm has schizophrenia.

Last but not least. Mr. Favre. You beat Green Bay twice. I mean since you didn’t come back for revenge there’s no need to make a big hoopla about it. On the next one buddy.

That’s all I got,
