...It's fun to watch.
I don't have too much hope for Michigan's chances tonight, but who knows? Shoelaces is a pretty amazing player, so maybe he can pull out some magic and they can luck one out like they did against the Hokies defense.
Probly not, but maybe.
Not too many other close games on TV today, except for Florida strugg-ga-ling.
And no, I don't feel sorry for Penn State.

The Northwestern win over Cuse was pretty enjoyable, especially because I only saw the Wildcats build their big lead and the last two drives. I especially enjoyed the bad late hit penalty against Cuse that set up Northwestern's game winning touchdown ;D

I have enjoyed the few jokes on twitter I have read about Penn St.
Like Gottlieb saying "Im rooting for Penn State today because they havent won since 1998"
Gottlieb also had a pretty good line saying 'Allen Pinkett thinks I would have made ND hoops a winner' referring to Pinkett wanting more criminals on the ND FB team.
These dont make me like him, just that they were funny.
Anyway, now that Boise lost, ive got no one to really root for, so im just going to root against all the ACC, Cuse, Pitt, and WVU. Which will be fun because these teams suck.

One of the joys of college football for me over the past few decades has been rooting against Notre Dame. Even better was frequently seeing them lose. Given the changing lay of the land and that the Big East may end up with NBC, unfortunately it now makes sense for me to hope for Irish success. Admittedly, that will take quite an adjustment on my part. Go LSU!

It was fun seeing Cuse Subtle-Push-of-Doom their way to heartbreak and Pitt do Pitt things against Youngstown State, but my goodness what an awful week for the future Big East football schools:
Memphis 17-20 UT-Martin (!)
Houston 13-30 Texas State (!!!)
Boise St 13-17 Michigan State
SMU 24-59 Baylor
SDSU 12-21 Washington
UCF 56-14 Akron...so there's that.

There has been some awful QB that have played the sport--but think the worst ever has to be Tino Sunseri. God Awful would be a compliment to this stooge. He makes Reggie Ball look like a pure passer and Paul Chryst lost respect the minute he didn't make a switch at the position. Sunseri has no strengths and is Troy Nunes like in his ability to make you wonder what he has over coaches that allows him to continue to take the field.

"West Virginia defeated Marshall for the Governor's Cup in the Friends of Coal Bowl"
Due to the aggressive deterioration of the college bowl tradition into rampant commercialism....i literally can't be sure that is a joke. If the joke were made in 3 months time I literally would have assumed it was real.

Unfortunately, it's not a joke. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_Coal_BowlAlthough I couldn't bear to type the words, the game between CU and CSU was officially the "2012 Cinch Jeans Rocky Mountain Showdown." www.colostate.edu/rockymountainshowdown/ |

From their website, it appears that Cinch appeals to the man who is both a Cowboy and an MMA fan. Truly an astounding brand.

I watched part of the Pitt-Cincy game yesterday.
Is Pitt the worst football team ever? At any level? Wow. Just wow on the number of dumb and awful plays.

Show me the Scotsman who doesn't love the thistle
Show me the Englishman who doesn't love the rose
Show me the true blooded Aggie from Utah
Who doesn't love the spot where the sagebrush grows!
Huge win in Logan tonight. Lots of discussion about what is/isn't pass interference in SLC tomorrow.

Even with Tessatore gone, Gilmore keeps the Friday Night crazy game tradition alive. Great way to kick off the weekend! Good to see AustinHoya back too--love his CFB posts. |

I watched part of the Pitt-Cincy game yesterday. Is Pitt the worst football team ever? At any level? Wow. Just wow on the number of dumb and awful plays. The program has to be depressed. They have a different coach and Chryst still chooses Tino Sunseri as the QB. Nobody in that program believes in him at the position and his "talents" were on display when he screwed up before the half with his usually horrendous clock/game mismanagement, his inability to read coverages, and his lack of football IQ. Watch how teammates react to him during a game and if that is someone who is placed at a position of leadership, you'll be led to defeat. Many might not remember Reggie Ball's "talents" and cannot blame you if you do and choose to forget, but Sunseri is setting a standard of putrid play and ineptitude that will never be forgotten by anyone who has dared to watch his team play. I was thinking Chryst could be a good HC/liked what he did at Wisconsin with the offense, but the minute he named Sunseri starting QB told me he's not long for being a HC and has no concept of what to do to get the program some momentum in positive direction. |
