During the Nike World Basketball Festival, we asked Kevin Durant which rapper best represents him.
I can honestly say I just do not like some college football programs for any other reason other than they exist. I cannot explain this “irrational hate” but it exists. I do not know where this 8th sense comes from but I feel it deep in my loins and I will share with you why you should hate these teams for no reason as I do. Let’s Go
Maryland
I don’t know what a Terp is and Maryland has always gotten on my nerves. I don’t like Ralf Friedgen not because he is fat, but because he is obese. On a serious note why does he continually get a pass being one of the worst coaches year in and year out? Maryland has not been relevant since the 1950’s and lameness of this program is a glaring reason why. Question? When I say Terp head does it offend you?
Toledo
Your nickname is the Rockets, what genius picked that name out, how original. It makes me want to go to the school more than I did yesterday. Furthermore, Toledo always looks like a high school team every time you see them play. I know Toledo is a big lacrosse school, but really an emphasis on a total university wide make-over is long overdue. If somebody knows who came up with Rockets please sent me their address. Thank you
Washington State
May I ask why you call yourself the Cougars and you don’t have a scantily clad 40 year old bomb shell as your logo? This in itself is unforgivable, but to also have Ryan Leaf on your resume means you should get the death penalty “just because”.
Iowa
The epitome of bad fashion as football goes and what is a Hawkeye any damn way? Seriously, Iowa does have great tradition; Haden Fry spawned the greatest coaching tree in college football history, so Iowa is not a total loss. However, if you look up Hawkeye on Wikipedia the definition is: the opposite of cool and swaggless. If my daughter in the year 2029 asked me to attend Iowa, I would punch her in the ribs with brass knuckles on, yes it’s that bad.
Rutgers
You started this college football phenomenon and you still suck. I think that burns deep enough, keep chopping wood losers!
Every Directional school in the Country
You are second fiddle to the big name schools in your state. At least have the balls to throw a “tech” or “State” even a last gasp “A&M” in your name please. (Kudos to the Louisiana schools for feeling me on this) This act of rebellion must be done regardless of the mission statement of the University or College, cool counts for something.
Baylor
I at least have a real reason for hating Baylor, it’s called nepotism my friends. Baylor is the “Ugly Girl” who should have never got called back after a nice seafood dinner, if you know what I mean. Baylor does and always will have high ranking members of the Texas legislature in its court. Therefore, prestigious alumni have been keeping the “Fugly Girl” popular long after she should have been deleted as a Facebook friend long ago. If I had my way Baylor would be an all girl’s school that offered Men’s Track any way. My apologies to their QB, Robert Griffin III, your are one bad mo fo.
Florida
You have made this list because you have kicked that much ass since about 1990. Nobody likes a team that wins more than they should, I respect this but loathe you at the same time. All you Gators a bums I tell you!!
Indiana
Just Because
Texas 
BOOMER SOONER!!! And (see Indiana)
Purdue
(See Indiana)
UCLA
You are the classic college football underachiever you sit in the middle of one of the richest fields that grow young men to be college football stars, and you wear addidas ……. White addidas? Kill yourself slowly!!!
Virginia
I used to roll with the Cavs when the Moore brothers were doing their thing many moons ago. Two suggestions bring back the old school (Penn State’esque uniforms) and hang Cavman by a rusty wire.
Michigan State
The Spartans disgust me in every way for no apparent reason and I am ok with that.
Boise State
Am I the only blogger in the Milky Way that has the MOXY to call it how I see it? BSU = Wanabees! The blue turf thing gets on my nerves as well. Would you date a chick with blue hair? Moreover, would you take her seriously?
I have posted this article in good fun, honestly I don’t really like any of these teams listed, and I may have taken things too far at some points. This article is aimed at a good laugh and not a lame attempt for the “fugly girl” to add me on Facebook.
See you in season,
CJ
BOOMER….SOONER…..TEXAS….SUCKS!!!! Any opportunity to deface Texas, we at 6Magazine will take it any day of the week baby!

VY is my dude. I like em, I root extra hard for him too. Not sure if my over enthused cheering for VY is because he is a black quarterback or because he’s a “running QB”. Either way, I want to see him succeed in the NFL. Notice I didn’t say I want to see him succeed in life?
I think as fans, bloggers, reporters, etc. we tend to ignore the fact that these players are human beings. We not only put them on a pedestal but we help them get on it and make sure we’re there to catch them in case they fall. But why do we do that? We turn our heads to off field incidents as long as their play on the field remains superstar-esque.
I just watched Vince Young fall off his pedestal and I’m not helping his black ass back up. As much as I’m a fan and I want to help, I just can’t. Let me take that back, I don’t want to help him up. Am I being too harsh? Naw, not really. When you watch the video below you will see why VY ain’t getting no love from me.
The charge Vince is facing is nowhere near as bad as the video looks. He’s only facing a class C misdemeanor and could face a fine of $500. I know Vince is human and will make mistakes but this is inexcusable. Just when VY had bounced back from suspected suicide attempt, a season and a half long benching, and a WAS on the heels of a redemptive return to the spotlight last season winning 8 of the last 10 games and going to the Pro Bowl as a replacement player. Now it seems as if Young is back to where he started.
Commissioner Roger Goodell doesn’t play around with the “Shield” and with video footage of VY’s assault I say he gets no less than a four game suspension. Vince Young’s selfish actions not only hurt himself costing him a few game checks and endorsements, but more importantly he hurt his team. Quarterback is the most important position on the football field. The QB is the team leader, face of the franchise, must be mature and very smart. It looks as if the Titans will not have their star QB for a few games, because he swore up and down that there was an I in quarterback when their wasn’t.

I can’t say it enough, the league is changing. Safety’s used to be small linebackers with strong safeties playing in the box and free safeties being slow corners but good athletes playing centerfield. Both safety positions are asked to do more than ever: cover, hit, lead, stay out of trouble etc. The best two safeties in this years class are Earl Thomas of Texas and Eric Berry of Tennessee both of which are free safeties.
Eric Berry
Vitals: 6′0″ 211 lbs.
Speed: If he needs to play corner he can.
Range: Amazing.
In the box: Plays like he’s 20 pounds heavier. Great blitzer.
Coverage: He can blanket a tight end or 3rd wideout.
Awareness: Just uncanny man….kid is sick.
Tackling: Bringing the wood isn’t enough, the boy plays with aluminum.
Playmaking Ability: In his blood.
Comparison: A playmaking Brian Dawkins
Pros: Berry is the real deal at free safety. He has the heart to play strong safety if he needs too. He was used in a multiple of ways in college. He hits hard and plays even smarter. Just a solid all-around player.
Cons: His hype is allowing too many people to turn a naked eye junior season. Under Lane Kiffin he played in the box more but made less plays. Only two picks.
Overall: I liken him to Brian Dawkins. He’s just a force of nature. He’s not as intimidating or vocal as Dawkins, but he leads by example and makes a ton more plays than Dawkins.
Earl Thomas
Vitals: 5′10″ 208 lbs.
Speed: Not a burner but makes up for it with instincts.
Range: I think his wing span is the width of the football field.
In the box: Too light in the ass to play in the box, but too big of a heart to keep him out.
Coverage: Best cover safety in the draft. Covers better than some corners.
Awareness: Has to be related to Dionne Warrick or Ms. Cleo, just has too.
Tackling: You’ll remember his name when he hit you.
Playmaking Ability: Defensive Michael Irvin. Yep, sounds about right.
Comparison: Ed Reed
Pros: A pure cover safety. He makes plays all day long. He knows where the ball is going to be at all times and never met an interception or a big play he didn’t like.
Cons: He’s small. I don’t know why he picked up all the weight in the offseason, because it slowed him down during the combine.
Overall: Ed Reed Jr. plain and simple.
Who am I picking???
Every is giving Berry all the love because they know he is going to be a solid pro, but no one has any guts other than NFL Network’s Mike Mayock. Me and Mr. Mayock agree that Earl Thomas is the best safety in this draft and that’s who I’m rolling with. It’s a passing league, Ed Reed’s never been a body destroyer type safety, he makes plays and gets your offense back on the field. Thomas is better in coverage and a better playmaker and that’s what the league is about today.

Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the past week’s football
College
Fiesta! Fiesta!
I called Boise State heartless earlier this year for not making sure Lagerrette Blount got knocked out after striking one of their teammates. They rolled through a weak WAC conference. I was certain TCU was going to give them the business, but I was wrong because Boise State came to play and TCU was the team that backed down. The surprise of the evening was Boise State’s defense, which shut the prolific TCU offense down. Sidenote, Andy Dalton, TCU QB, has no arm strength at all. Did you see the ducks he was throwing on the deep out routes? Geesh. Either way, both teams were evenly matched and Boise State just fought harder point blank. Congrats Broncos, I hope you all have accepted my apology.
Uhh…the BORE – ange Bowl
Umm…Iowa beasted Georgia Tech. The game wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Is the Big Ten back? That’s 4-3 in bowl games this year with two BCS wins.
Iowa won the game, but what is up with fake field goal call my Kirk Ferentz? Where are all these coaches getting these balls of steel from. Bill Belichick opened the flood gates for weird ass calls when he pulled that shit in Indianapolis earlier this season. Jim Zorn’s wild ass call on Monday Night Football, Jim Caldwell, and most recently Kirk Ferentz’s crazy call have been many of odd decisions by coaches this season. Pretty soon we won’t have anymore punters and kickers the way these daredevils play.
GMAC = BCS?
LOL, last week I wrote about the Central Michigan vs. Troy game last weekend. I was given the business by several CMU fans. I refuse to make the same mistake again. CMU was ranked #25 and I said they were unranked. Neither team has any control over when the bowl game is played. I still think it’s stupid to have this game this late in the bowl season. The game wasn’t a good game, it was a good half. You guys can shoot me if you want to, but from beginning to end there were better bowl games this year. This game had the best half of the bowl season hands down. Thank you for your comments last week as well, you guys really made me feel hated like Colin Cowherd, who I look up too, so I was on my high horse thanks to you guys.
National Championship Game
Well damn football gods, did you really have to take Colt McCoy out of the game five plays in? What did he do to you guys? Either way the whole entire landscape of the game changed once he went out. You can’t argue that at all. I picked Texas to win, and if he stays in I think they do, but shoulda, coulda, woulda you know. Backup Texas QB, Garrett Gilbert, played well for the most part. He was deer in headlights the first couple of series, but once he realized Jordan Shipley was on the field, it was all good. McCoy got all the love this year, but imagine if he didn’t have Shipley to throw the ball to? I think Shipley is the Longhorn MVP this year, he certainly was for this game. The key plays in the game are Malcolm Williams dropping that touchdown pass which would have made it a 17 – 13 ball game. The next key play was the shovel pass pick six. If either of those two plays are in Texas’ favor the game is 17-13 at halftime with Texas getting the ball to start the second half.
I have no clue where Bama went in the 3rd qtr. I’m still looking for them right now. I won’t mention the Bama QB’s name, because he sucks that bad. Give some love to the Bama O-line, when you throw the ball 11 times, and win a national championship game, that means your running game cannot be touched. Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson got it in! Congrats to Bama, but deep down, you can’t feel totally good about this victory, because Texas didn’t have their best player. Granted you all knocked him out of the game on a clean hit, and injuries are apart of the game. But don’t you want to beat the Texas Longhorns? And all season long everyone and their unborn babies haven’t been able mention the Texas Longhorns without saying Colt McCoy.
NFL
The wildcard weekend was the rematch weekend. Three of the four games played were rematches, which I found pretty cool. Two out of the three of the teams that won last weekend, won this weekend.
Well a Jet is faster than a Bengal
The Jets flat out kicked the Bengals’ ass. Rex Ryan’s defense was “all the way turnt up”. Darrelle Revis continued his case for defensive player of the year (even though I don’t think postseason play should count, with his recent performance it’ll be hard to keep it out of the voters’ minds.) Mark Sanchez played virtually mistake free and his running game allowed him to not be in situations where he’d have to win the entire game.
Murder in Jerry Land
Speaking of flat out ass kickings. We’ll it wasn’t an ass kicking, someone died in Dallas. Not someone, but something or somethings. The Eagles died. Yep, they were put to death in Jerry Land. Is it Jerry Land or Jerry’s World? Has there been a consensus on what we’re going to call it yet? Either way outside of a long td strike from Mike Vick, the Eagles were extinct. The Eagles’ power was their offense and Dallas’ defense shut that down with ease. Tony Romo was flawless and Miles Austin showed out as always. Things were going so well in Dallas that Roy Williams showed up to the party as well and boy did Mr. Odessa cut a rug in Jerry Land/World. The Chargers are not the hottest team in football, it is the Cowboys.
Quote the Raven, “i dislike Patriots”
Umm…I’ve said this all year when it comes to the Patriots. “You Get What You Pay For” in several key areas of their ball club, the Pats went cheap and they got cheap performance. Most specifically they went cheap on defense, but in their defense’s defense when the offense is turning the ball over in their own territory several times it’s hard to win. The Ravens defense played like they should have been playing all year long. We can shoulda woulda coulda all day long in terms of Wes Welker being able to play but he wasn’t thus the Pats were in effective all game long with the Ravens rolling coverage to Randy Moss and Ben Watson dropping passes. On the other note their dynasty is not over, please stop with the nonsense. The Steelers didn’t make the playoffs this year, are they over?
Welcome to the conversation…We’re talking about nominations for the best games in history.
I was pissed all weekend long. I just wanted to watch some good football. All three previous playoff games were blowouts. Thank you Green Bay and Arizona for making this game interesting. The highest scoring game in NFL history interesting. Don’t blame Aaron Rodgers Packers fans, he played a great game and brought the team back. It was just a fluke play to be honest. 
The defense made enough stops to get the team back even as well. It’s like guarding Lebron James, he’s going to get his points. I mean once both offenses got into their grooves, the 2000 Ravens or ‘85 Bears couldn’t have stopped either team. It is odd that the game ended on a defensive play, and I know for certain Neil Rackers is the happiest person in the state of Arizona right now. Kurt Warner threw four incompletions and five touchdown passes. I just thought I’d throw that fact out there.
Random ish….
So, Tommy Tuberville is the new man at Texas Tech. You don’t say. I hope you have something to say because I don’t. It feels like they went after the biggest name they could find at the time. Mike Leach’s system is totally different from what Tuberville is going to bring in. I wouldn’t say Tuberville has to win fast, because the administration has been dying to get rid of Leach so they’ll give Tuberville his due time to get his own players in Lubbock. The fans; however, will not give Tuberville his due time because they never wanted Leach gone in the first place. We’ll see how it plays out though.
Pete Carroll! Don’t do it. Seattle is on the fast track to becoming NFL purgatory between Cleveland and Oakland(Detroit is like Hell in Pluto). Too late. I feel like they are trapping you Pete, they are setting you up for failure. Who is they? I don’t know it sounds good. Either way, the defense is wretched in Seattle. I don’t know what they have done with Matt Hasslebeck. Mike Holmgren left the team better than he found it. Jim Mora was unfairly ousted too early. I mean they are giving Pete the money to go buy his own groceries to cook the dinner, per Bill Parcells. We’ll see if he manages his money well and buys good healthy organic foods or he wastes in on junk food. We’ll also see if he knows how to cook, because too much or too little salt and various spices on meals can completely ruin them. On a positive note, the defense is good and they play in a mediocre conference. The only way to go is up, right?

The fan…Ed the Sports Fan has graced us with another great article. Read up, learn now.
As I sat there watching this monstrosity of a game last night between Texas and Alabama, and I saw what happened to Colt McCoy…all I could think of was what happened to Sam Bradford when they played Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Its a damn shame what happened to Colt, and its not fair to college football fans.
I’m not going to sit here and think that Alabama would have won or lost if Colt McCoy played in that game. Alabama threw out an extremely conservative gameplan against Texas after #12 went out the game, and Garrett Gilbert was wide-eyed and completely unprepared to face a defense in Alabama that Colt would’ve struggled with.
First off, was that the wackiest sequence of events for Alabama? Muffed kick returns, fake punt passes on 4th and 21, then a fluke hit on McCoy? I’ve never seen anything like it, but after that? Lets face it, that game was ugly and unappealing. Yes it got exciting at the end but that’s because Texas got desperate and had no choice but to put the ball up in the air. (Which maybe they should’ve done a long time ago) Alabama’s defense stopped the 4th quarter surge and secured the victory.
Would Colt have made a difference in the game? Unquestionably. Would Texas have won the game? Who knows, Alabama basically said, we’re running the ball every time and will lean on our defense to get us there. Greg McElroy threw the ball exactly 11 times and when there wasn’t a play to be made he took the sack or threw the ball away. Heisman winner Mark Ingram got his 116 yards and 2 TDs while ushering the next great Alabama back into the fold in Trent Richardson as he got 109 yards and 2 TDs.
You all watched the game, so I don’t need to re-labor the points that have already been made. My question to you all is this…do you feel cheated from this game? I do. I want a redo, a mulligan, something. I know we did back in October as Bradford laid there writhing in pain, (AGAIN) and I know Texas does for last night.
The Eyes of Bradford Will Haunt You….
Thoughts on the game last night? I feel like a just hooked up with a chick who I thought I really liked, to only wake up at 5am to see she left in the middle of the night and left a $20 on the nightstand. LOL wow, yes I did just type that. I’m just saying, where do we go from here?
Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the weekend…..
College
Fresno State should have won their New Mexico Bowl game versus Wyoming. In the first OT, they had the ball on their 1-yard line and in four attempts Ryan Matthews, the nation’s leading rusher, they couldn’t convert. The Bulldogs were also unable to stop Wyoming in the final possession of regulation when they converted three 4th down conversions to set up the game tying field goal. I love Coach Hill and Ryan Matthews, but damn fellas!
Rutgers had Central Florida out matched all game long. Coach Greg Schiano’s now taken his Scarlet Knights to five straight bowl games winning four of them. I see you over there trying to start a dynasty Coach Schiano!I told yall Rutgers Freshman QB, Tom Savage, was cold!
Damn, I hate to see Damion Fletcher go out like that in his last game of his great career with a loss. On the other hand, I like this Middle Tennessee State QB, Dwight Dasher, who balled out of control last night. A quick side note, we say Colt McCoy is the perfect name for a Texas quarterback, but Dwight Dasher has to be the perfect name for a running quarteback, imagine this kid running the option for Nebraska back in the ’80s, man! Either way Dasher has his way with the Golden Eagles in the R + L New Orleans Carrier Bowl who had 366 all purpose yards and 4 touchdowns. Middle Tennessee State 42 Southern Mississippi 32.
NFL
The Colts and Jaguars game was a good one. The Jags let is slip bottom line. Hey Indy, I see chinks in your armor, the same chinks I saw against the Patriots.
Umm…”Who Dat”? No really who dat that was playing Saturday, because it sure wasn’t the New Orleans Saints I’ve seen all year. I mean yeah, you were down against the Dolphins and Redskins, but you guys put up points in those games. Jammal Brown was sorely missed as DeMarcus Ware had his way with the Saints, and that sloppy Saints run defense caught up to them as the Boys put up 145 rushing yards on the Saints.
Yeah, Randy Moss had a bounce back game, but the Patriots just don’t look the same man.
What is it with these extra sorry teams playing the most exciting games. The Browns were involved in both of them. This time they went wire to wire with the Chiefs winning, 41-34 in Kansas City. Josh Cribbs dominated the game with two kick off return touchdowns over 100 yards in the same quarter. Let me take that back, those were only two scores, Jerome Harrison, the backup running back set a team record rushing for 286 yards on 34 carries and 3 touchdowns. He broke the record of 238 yards formerly held by the great Jim Brown. Jamaal Charles got off for the Chiefs though with 154 yards on 25 carries and a touchdown.
Jets vs. Falcons….boring. Final score Falcons 10 Jets 7. No it wasn’t a defensive slug out. I appreciate those, nope, this was purely inept offense on both sides.
Texans won…barely over the Rams, 16-13. Andre Johnson is a beast, and I hope he gets outta Houston soon and gets a chance to play for a championship.
Vince Young threw 3 tds for the first time in his career. Chris Johnson ran for pedestrian 104 yards. Umm VY is now 25-12 as a starter. Numbers don’t lie, they just don’t, their like Pinocchio. Oh yah, Texans beat the Dolphins 27-24.
Arizona won….they won ugly. Cards 31 Lions 24.
Denver started out 6-0. They’ve only won 2 of their last 8 games and now stand at 8-6 losing to the Raiders who played 3 QBs yesterday.
The Bengals had an emotional game in San Diego yesterday. I’m proud of OchoCinco for not wearing #15. I wouldn’t have minded if he did, but I know the media would have made a field day out of it. Chad even stated that he wasn’t going to do so because he didn’t want to cause a distraction. Good move Chad, don’t give the media any ammo. But the lost 27-24 to the Chargers. RIP Chris Henry.
Oh my goodness Jay Cutler. Are you serious? 25 picks thrown for the year with only 19 touchdowns for the year. He threw 3 picks yesterday so it’s pretty obvious they didn’t win, actually the lost pretty bad, 31-7 to the Ravens.
Do I have to talk about Tampa Bay beating Seattle 24-7?
San Francisco should have won this game, but they have Mike Singletary coaching. It’s time for him to go. Eagles win 27-13.
Packers vs. Steelers, now that was some good offensive football. 37-36 Steelers, breaking their six game skid. So much for the vaunted running attacks of these historic franchises, both teams only ran the ball 31 times combined. They threw the ball 94 times for 886 yards and 6 touchdowns. Big Ben threw for 503 yards and 3 tds. Damn!
Minnesota Vikings are no longer allowed to play on Sunday night football. Not like they actually played either of the two times they’ve been there anyway. If Steve Smith is like the Olympics. He comes around every four years once he gets a consistent quarterback. It’s not his fault though, imagined if he played for the Colts. Oh well they got the win in their scrimmage against the Vikes 26-7.

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.
That’s all I got,

Yo yo, what’s good. Ricky Writer here. These are my quick cuts and jukes over this past weekend of football.
In the newly storied rivalry that is Rutgers and USF, USF got their asses hand to em one time each quarter. You all wanted to annoint USF Frosh QB, B.J. Daniels as the next best thing, and yes, he is good, but he is still a Freshman. If Matt Barkley is struggling in So Cal you can bet Mr. Daniels is as well. The Frosh QB we should be talking about is Rutgers QB, Tom Savage. They boy has 10 tds and 2 picks on the whole year.
If you look at the score of the Cincinnati vs. West Virginia game, you’d say uh-oh Cincy is gonna go down real soon. They barely got by WVU. But it was an off game for the Bearcats who made uncharacteristic mistakes and still found a way to win. Tony Pike will lead the Bearcats the rest of the way. He stepped in and threw 4 passes to knock the rust off and tossed 2 tds. After watching this game, I think Cincy stays undefeated through the regular season.
This is where it gets painful. is it bad if the three brand name undefeated teams bore me and I’m only excited by the off-brand three undefeated teams?
Florida struggled up until the 4th quarter to be South Carolina. Yes the Gamecocks have a great defense, but these are the Florida Gators. Just signs of how much this college football season sucks, but we have to give the Gators some love, that’s 20 victories in a row. I wonder if Steve Spurrier ever regrets leaving Florida? He’d never admit it but I think he does. He could be sitting pretty like A-Rod, and setting himself up to overthrow Joe Paterno with the most victories.
It’s not what’s on the outside that counts, it’s what’s on the inside. Mississippi State wore some cool new black uniforms in hopes of defeating #2 Alabama. No bueno! 31-3 rout at home, not a good look.
Do I really have to talk about Texas drilling Baylor? I mean Robert Griffin is not playing so you know how the game was going to turn out.
Now I get excited…
The TCU vs. Utah game was supposed to be a mini-bowl game for all the MWC marbles. TCU took Utah’s marbles and cookies. LIke I’ve said before no one wants to see that TCU 4-2-5 defense or offense. TCU QB, Andy Dalton, is lighting up the scoreboard. I”ll be honest, I don’t think Cincy or Boise St. can really hang with the big boys this year, but TCU is foreal.
Yes the Idaho vs. Boise State is actually a rivalry although it hasnt been with the rise of the Broncos and fall of the Vandals. But the coming in the Vandals were 7-3 and bowl eligible. But Boise St. let them know who runs that state in a 63-25 rout to remain undefeated but still on the outside looking in as far as the BCS title game is concerned.
GA Tech puts a smile on my face. Their option attack is unparalleled and it takes me back to the old school Wishbone, Triple Option, Wing-T days when I was a young lad in the 90s. They clinched a spot in the ACC title game by defeating the newly respectable Duke Blue Devils 49-10. GA Tech will likely face Clemson. It should be a good one. Congrats Yellow Jackets.
LSU is not LSU anymore. Yes they have injuries but it’s evident they aren’t as dominant as no one has been in this weak ass college football season. They barely beat LA Tech 24-16.
USC got beat by Stanford. Am I surprised, no. I am surprised that they got drilled at home though, 55-21. Standford coach, Jim Harbaugh, is a serious ball coach, and I expect Michigan to buy out Rich Rodriguez’s contract and bring the ex-Wolverine Harbaugh back to Ann Arbor. The biggest mistake Pete Carroll made was not being able to convince Mark Sanchez to stay but replacing Steve Sarkisian with Jeremy Bates who hasn’t done much in his career other than latch onto Mike Shanahan.
Ohio State is going to the BCS after their victory over Iowa. It’s not that impressive to do anymore when you are the dominant team in the Big Ten. Let’s give them props, and my boy Terrelle Pryor is coming into his own now they they are opening up the playbook to him, as he went 14/17 against the Hawkeyes.
I’m a little confused by the rankings, which has Iowa being dropped two spots to #15 which is fine seeing as to how they lost. But Penn State, which Iowa beat on the road jumped five spots from #17 to #12 and is three spots ahead of a team they lost too?!?! Not to mention another team in which Iowa beat, the Wisconsin Badgers are #14, one slot ahead of the Hawkeyes. This is the stupidity that I find with the polls. I don’t think these writers watch to games to be honest.
Dion Lewis, Heisman? Anyone agree? He has carried the offense on his back to be honest. Notre Dame’s fall as predicted by 6Magazine’s Claude Clayborne is happening before our eyes. Michael Floyd has been back two weeks now for the Irish but I can’t tell because Golden Tate is playing like he’s the number #1 receiver.
Pardon me while I’ve just realized I haven’t been giving you quick cuts and jukes. It’s been more like methodical four and five yard gains down the field. I just passed the 50 yard line, so I’ma get my Barry Sanders on again if you don’t mind.
I don’t know why people continue to hate on Oregon’s uniforms, they are tight every week.
Miami Hurricanes met their maker, Butch Davis this past weekend.
The Houston Cougars are slowly starting to hurt my feelings.
Because of Penn St. and Wisconsin robbing Iowa of ranking spots, I will not mention or bold them in this week’s Monday Morning Cornerback.
C.J. Spiller is the nation’s most exciting and valuable player, therefore he should win the Heisman trophy.
NFL
Maybe Josh McDaniels was right about Jay Cutler…..
Matt Ryan meet the sophomore slump. She’s a cruel daughter of a bitch. Why is Carolina WR, Steve Smith, complaining about offensive involvement when he caught 4 balls for 34 yards and 2tds?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bengals, Colts, and Patriots but does anyone really want to play the Dolphins in the playoffs? Yes, they are 4-5, but they will be in the playoffs, watch!
Duh, Lions vs. Vikings you know who won, but did you see this. WTH!
Mark Sanchez meet the Rookie Ridicule. It happens, you’re gonna suck in your rookie season unless you’re Ben Roethlisberger or Dan Marino. You’ll bounce back the last half of the season we promise. The Jags are flying under the radar this year, but their defense has been amazing.
Not sure what it is, but the Bengals have the Steelers number and they better not face them in the Wildcard game if they know what is good for them.
I keep saying it. The Saints don’t have a run defense. I don’t care if people were injured or not, when those guys are healthy they still had the same problems. Look at the stats on the Carolina and St. Louis games. But 9-0 is 9-0.
T.O.’s mid-season melt down came right on cue. ESPN AFC East blogger, Tim Graham, now actually have valid reasons to provoke T.O. Chris Johnson doesn’t have much of an o-line and leads the league in rushing. So why are we giving Adrian Peterson all the MVP considerations?
The Redskins won? Ge the fuck outta here! Man…saying anything would be ruining the moment.
Do I really have to talk about Kansas City vs. Oakland?
Bad Kurt Warner stayed home and Good Kurt Warner came to play. My fantasy team thanks him.
Charles Woodson beat the Dallas Cowboys all by himself.
I think Andy Reid’s welcome in slowly fading.
When you kick Bill Belichick in the balls you normally brake your foot and have to have two or three toes amputated and he will not apologize or pay your medical bills.
That’s All I got,
