You Beat UNC On the Road And Then You Lost to Harvard, HUH?!?!?

Over the weekend Boston College went on the road into Chapel Hill to face the unanimously thought of best team in the country. Some even went as far as to wonder whether North Carolina would be able to go through the regular season undefeated. Yet, the Eagles managed to shock the Tar Heels by 7 points dropping them from the top perch in the polls and the land of the undefeated. The win helped BC join the land of the ranked and increase their win streak to an impressive ten.

So what next for the newly ranked Eagles? A home matchup against cross town rival Harvard, an Ivy League punching bag, an easy cupcake win to extend the streak to 11.... Or a shocking home loss to an 8-6 team that has never ever beaten a ranked team in the history of their program. Umm, HUH? There are let downs everywhere in sports. The Giants lost to the Browns. USC manages to lose to an inferior team every year. UNC lost to BC. etc. But Harvard? Damn that's just terrible.

Let's do a Quick Comparison of the UNC and Harvard going into the game.

Location: Chapel Hill -> Chestnut Hill
Best Player: Tyler Hansbrough -> Some Asian Kid Named Lin
Record Coming Into the Game: Undefeated -> 7-6
Coach: Roy Williams -> Tommy Amaker
Scholarships: Many -> Zero
McDonald's All American: Many -> Zero
National Championships: Many -> Zero
Expected Tournament Seed: 1 -> Not in the Tourney
# of Wins Against Ranked Opponents: Too Many to Count -> Zero

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
