Week #1 College Football Thoughts

Best Play: If you didnt see the massive hit laid on a USC kickoff returner by an Arkansas defender go and try to find it online, he got JACKED UP.

Dumb Ass O'The Week: Bobby Petrino, Way to go and get your Heisman Trophy Candidates leg broken in the first week of the season against a team you were mauling at the time. Great Move jackass.

Dope of the Week: Lee Corso, How's that Cal's going to win the National Championship pick treating you.

Bonehead Play of the Week: Mikey Henderson, Moments of Premature celebration in footbal are hilarious, and Henderson provided a classic holding out the ball before he crossed the goal line then losing the ball and fumbling it through the end zone for a touchback. Luckily for himself he ran the next punt back for a touchdown, to redeem himself.

Biggest Loser: Colorodo Buffalos, Ha not only did you lose to a team from Montana, but on top of that they are 1AA team that takes such games solely to get a paycheck and not to win. Wow you just made their season congrats to a good start Danny Hawkins.

Biggest Winners: Tennessee Vols, It pains me to say this but Tennessee had the best week in college football. I really wanted them to lose but not only did they not lose but they crushed Cal.

Borefest: FSU Miami, If you like tackles for a loss, zero rushing yard and punts then this was your matchup.

New Clock Rule

In case you didn't notice College Football has made some rules adjustments to quicken up the pace of the game. Most of these rules are unnoticeable, such as the clock starts at the contact of the kick on a kickoff instead of when a player touches the ball, but the biggest change is that the clock runs on change of possessions, aka after punts, ints, etc. Last night this cost Miami extra time on the clock and eliminated any possible suspense. I just don't get why they decided to tinker with things, who was complaining about the length of the game, especially coming off one of the best national championship games of all time.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
