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.

Nike, Nike, Nike, you all have done it again. This is not a paid advertisment for Nike nor is it a shameless ploy to have Nike advertise or sponsor the site. This is truth from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my stomach. I love Nike. Reason number infinity is their alliance with several college team to develop the Nike Pro Combat uniforms. Oklahoma, Miami, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Missour, and TCU will all don the new uniforms in the up coming weeks.
Visit the Nike Pro Combat Uniform website. When I say these things are dope, I mean it in every sense of the word, and they come with their own slogans as well.
Two teams have already debuted their uniforms last weekend, TCU when they played Utah and Virginia Tech when they played Maryland.
TCU Horned Frogs- “Don’t Back Down”
Virginia Tech Hokies – “Good Guys Wear White (UT Prosim – Latin for That I may serve)”
Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Florida State will unveil their Nike Pro Combat uniforms this Saturday November 21.
Oklahoma Sooners – “Stake Our Claim”
Ohio State Buckeyes – “Earned”
Florida State Seminoles – “Fear the Spear”
Miami, Mizzouri, LSU, Texas, and Florida will all unveil their new uniforms during the last week of the regular season.
Miami Hurricanes – “The U Knows”
Missouri Tigers – “Beast Mode”
LSU Tigers – “Cochon De Lait” (insert quick history lesson – literally translates from French to English as “pig in milk”, or it is called a “suckling pig”. A Cochon de Lait is basically a cajun pig roast of a whole young pig. The pig is slow roasted for 6 to 12 hours. That is what makes a Cochon de Lait an event rather than just cooking a meal. It’s an extended “male bonding”, “story telling”, “bull shooting”, “beverage of your choice drinking”, “fire tending” event.)
Texas Longhorns - “It Only Takes Eleven/Texas Fight”
(true story, the Texas video isn’t up on YouTube yet. No, I’m not just being a Sooner not posting their video. It’s really not up. When it is I”ll be sure to post it.)
Florida Gators – “Finish the Mission”
Here’s a cool video on the new Nike technology
I can’t wait for the uniforms to come out. We’ll update the article once all ten teams have rocked their new joints.

College
Oklahoma Sooners vs. Miami Hurricanes
Welcome back to the 80’s. I wonder if Barry and Jimmy will be on the sidelines for this one. These two had so many memorable battles in the past that all of the former warriors come out when these two hook up. They should have got together in the 2000 National Championship game, but the BCS reared it’s stupid head and got in the way. They last met in 2007, OU put a tornado of a whipping to the Canes 51-13 in Norman.
Things are different this time around. Is Bradford going to play or not? How mad are the Canes from being embarrassed in Blacksburg last weekend? The Canes looked be to be “back” to their old ways until VA Tech and the rain calmed the Hurricanes.
The game will come down to what it does in most cases, the trenches. Can Miami’s offensive line stop the Sooners great defensive line? Can the Sooners young offensive line stop Marcus Fortson, Sean Spence and Colin McCarthy all three of which have been playing outstanding.
Jacory Harris will find holes in the Sooners zone as did BYU. I don’t expect Javarris James and Graig Cooper to do much against OU’s front seven. The Canes defense has been a bit inconsistent, outside of their linebackers. They got lit up against Florida State, but came out with a win and Georgia Tech was able to put up 17 points against them. VA Tech’s offense only had 24 points.
OU’ defense is coming off of two straight shut out games. Although they were to Idaho State and Tulsa. Tulsa isn’t too shabby, they averaged 45.7 points going into their game against the Sooners. This will definitely be the most athletic team the Sooners will face this year other than Texas, and Miami’s receivers and tight ends are tall and explosive.
Oklahoma’s offense is looking good, but once again it’s coming against sub par competition, and I quite personally think this defense will be faster than the Texas defense they will face later in the year. Landry Jones has looked good when he gets a millisecond to throw the ball and makes a quick decision. Vigrinia Tech showed the Miami is leaving a lot of running lanes open and their secondary showed that they don’t like to tackle.
The X factor will be whether or not Demarco Muarry and Chris Brown can make a big play and whether or not Miami’s offensive line will give Jacory enough time to sustain 3rd down conversions. I give the advantage to Demarco and Chris.
If Sam plays, it’s a two touchdown win. Yes, after being out three weeks and having a less than 100% shoulder, Sam Bradford makes that much of a difference. But if Landry plays as I am expecting I give the advantage to the Sooners because of their defense, 31-28 in a close one.
USC vs. California
Both teams are still good, but they caught looking ahead of the schedule this past weekend. As USC didn’t win as impressively as they should have against Washington State and well you know Oregon throttled Cal last weekend.
USC is going to have to cope with losing their emotional leader, Stafon Johnson, this past Monday in a freak weightlifting incident. Let’s face it, this is not the most dominating USC team we’ve seen in recent years and they struggled with a Washington Husky team that is not as bad as advertised. I’m not sure if Taylor Mays is going to play or not, but he will make a big difference impacting the 8-man boxes that the Trojans will give the Bears on Saturday.
For Cal it’s simple. Their defense is not bad, and just happened to get Oregon as they hit their stride offensively. I do worry about their struggle with Minnesota a few weeks ago. Kevin Riley has to step up and make big plays, that’s the bottom line. The box will be stacked and the game will be on him. He didn’t show he can win a game last week, maybe this one will be different.
I don’t trust Coach Tedford in big games or in the middle of a season where his teams always fold. I’m taking USC 35-24 in this one. Jahvid Best will go off though even if the Men of Troy stack 8 and 9 men in the box.
PS – Watch out for the match up between Damien Williams and Syd’Quan Thompson. I can’t call who is going to have the better night, but it will be fun to watch.
LSU vs. Georgia
I’ll take LSU. I just don’t think Georgia has the firepower to overcome the LSU defense. Not saying LSU is going to light up the scoreboard, but look for Richard Jefferson to have a solid night and Brandon Lafell to go off in this low scoring affair. Heck, I could be wrong and this could turn into an air war like the UGA and South Carolina game a few weeks back.
Auburn vs. Tennessee
I don’t care who wins. I just want to watch Onterrio McCalebb, next season’s most exciting player(Andre Debose might have something to say about that though) run all over the Vols. If you have not seen this kid run, go to your nearest YouTube address, grab a seat, butterless popcorn, and a profanity sensor!
NFL
There is only one game you need to worry about.
Packers vs. Vikings
Brett faces his old team and excels. Aaron Rodgers presses and nutts up. Adrian Peterson plays like Adrian Peterson.
The Pack will not be able to stop Peterson which will open up Favre’s game.I don’t think the Vikings will be able to stop Rodger though either, who has been balling lately. Antoine Winfield and Charles Woodson will both show their asses (meaning play very well). Look for a shootout between predecessor and successor. Bright lights and big stages are normally kind to Brett Favre and I don’t see this one being any different.
High School
Byrnes (S.C.) vs. St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
I don’t know too much about high school football other than 3+ star recruits and the ESPN top 50 teams. I do know that Aquinas is #1 in the country and Byrnes is #2 so this should be a great game. For more info, I called on the powers that be, ESPN/Scout Inc for more info.

Lamarcus Joyner, CB: Florida State, Ohio State and Florida are Joyner’s top three — and the three schools with a shot at him. The Seminoles are the heavy favorite and have been the team to beat for some time. Unless there is a serious collapse in Tallahassee, expect him to end up there. The Buckeyes would be right behind the Noles, however. And you can never count out the Gators.
Cody Riggs, CB: Riggs is expected to end up at either Florida or Georgia. The Gators have the inside track on the ESPNU 150 prospect, but the Bulldogs have done an excellent job, as well.
Keion Payne, CB: Look out for Miami in the race for Payne’s services. The Hurricanes always sign their share of prospects out of Broward. If they land Payne, he’s just another talented player to add to Randy Shannon’s program.
Brandon Linder, OL: Miami also is the team to beat for Linder, who is sort of under-the-radar given his talented skill-position teammates. The Hurricanes have had the inside track for some time.
Giovanni Bernard, RB: If I had to guess the school that has the best shot at landing Bernard, it would have to be Florida State, just looking at the running back recruiting boards of all the schools. But the reality is, Bernard could end up anywhere. His brother played at Oregon State.
St. Thomas Aquinas’ committed players: Kicker Michael Palardy (Tennessee)
Marcus Lattimore, RB: South Carolina has a great shot here, but Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon and Penn State also are in the mix. Lattimore has had great things to say about every school he has shown interest in.
Nick Jones, WR: The in-state Gamecocks and Michigan have made offers to the speedy Jones. Penn State, Auburn and North Carolina all have shown interest. Chances are Jones will stay in-state when all is said and done.
Torian Richardson, WR: Richardson holds scholarship offers from Mississippi State, Syracuse, Tulane, East Carolina, Kansas State, Rutgers and Louisville. Right now, the Bulldogs, who signed Rico Sanders out of Byrnes last year, and the Scarlet Knights, who have quarterback Chas Dodd committed, seem to make the most sense.
Jazz King, WR: King claims offers from Ole Miss, Kansas and Central Florida. Of the three, the Rebels make the most sense in terms of his fitting into their scheme and using his speed to make plays in that system.
Byrnes’ committed players: ESPNU 150 prospects DE Corey Miller and DT Brandon Willis (both Tennessee).
PS – This is super random. But Chad Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald are two of my favorite receivers but I cant stand their face masks. I just cant.
