Didn't you hear? Northern Virginia is the South! Yeah. South Jersey. I prefer to tell people from Northern Virginia that they grew up in the DC Suburbs, not the South. For some reason, this really angers them.

That's not very hard to do. If you google me, you will pretty much find out that I love the Gators in every sport, that I think weed should be legal and that I think that government is a lot closer to being a problem than the solution. It's also not very hard to find out that after the Gators, Georgetown is my favorite hoops team.

Clemson sure is the shocking team this year, aren't they? For more than a decade, they have been the team you could never quite predict. They would seemingly win at least one game a year that surprised you, but they would also find a way to lose a couple that were shockers as well. And when they seemed to have the complete team, and a real shot at a special season, they would lose a game or two early in the year, to pretty much end any hopes for that true miracle season. So as far as Clemson goes, I feel like I'm always waiting for that other shoe to fall. Obviously, so far it hasn't happened.
Ironically, I heard a couple of Clemson fans during the offseason who were basically of the opinion that Dabo Sweeney had pretty much worn out his welcome and that he was a very fortunate coach at the outset, but that now that his magic had worn off, he really wasn't that good of a coach.
I seriously doubt they would say that now.

I seriously doubt they would say that now. With the exception of a very small percentage, fans are idiots. It was just a couple of weeks ago that San Francisco sports talk radio was inundated with callers questioning Harbaugh because his offense seemed too much like Singletary's and that he was an obvious idiot if he thought what he was doing would win games. It's like politics: chance means nothing; everything has a simple, easily identifiable cause that is me if the result is good and someone else if the result is bad; solutions are very easy since all the root causes are singular and obvious; fixing things is simple because it's all about effort and choice -- execution is never difficult.

So that's it for Neuheisel, right? God I hope not--his team is more entertaining then most sitcoms. Tried to tell Rooter this guy sucked and was personally responsible for the downfall of Colorado/Washington--and he can't recruit--this myth that he's a good recruiter is why he gets jobs. He inherited decent talent, and then kills a program with "his guys" that come to his school after he plays his guitar and bakes them cookies. My favorite part--not only did the Bruins get bombed, but the fake ref/streaker coming onto the field and Pac 12 refs didn't even notice until he got to midfield and held up play. Legendary Pac 12 move!! Fitting it happened tonight in Zona-UCLA game. BTW--someone please end Jesse Palmer and Craig James ability to speak. Thank you-EVERY FAN IN AMERICA!

How about that D-Bag James pimping Sonny Dykes--Spike Dykes son and of course Spike and Sonny were at Texas Tech and Sonny happened to be the position coach of Craig's son. Jimmy Dykes would be a better coach then Sonny at Arizona. Then you had both guys unprepared for the umpteenth time. Reece Davis is a pro--but has to work with those two jerkoffs and it's an embarrassment how unprepared and unprofessional they are--ever hear of a media guide which helps with player name pronounciation? Then Wendy Nix (why is she employed?) calling Keith Price of Washington (right now the 2nd best QB in Pac 12 behind Luck) "Kevin" in a promo for UW-Stanford game and Stooges calling Kevin Prince of UCLA a "great runner". Brehaut is the better runner and Prince is horrific in all angles. Neither can throw. Of course last week they had USC-Cal game all wrong including calling Chris Gallipo--(GA-LIPPO) Galpo, Gal Lypo, talking about USC's lack of being able to hit in practice (they are hitting this year), Jeff Tedford a QB Guru (yeah back in 2003 when he had Aaron Rodgers, since then not so much--Cal QB's have sucked), and in both games they spent entire 2nd Half talking about Andrew Luck and Stanford and how "easy" their schedule is remaining--which is incorrect. Stanford has had an easy start and ends with: Washington, USC, Oregon, and ND in their final 6 games. They could lose all of those. Don't think they will but it's far from "easy".

Bad Landry Jones + Brent Venables gameplan + Seth Doege = Long live the Matadors

How the hell does Brent Venables have a job? He's beyond awful. Also as badly as I feel for the players, Stoops and Chokelahoma get what they deserve with players being out for the game due to being injured/re-injuring themselves in 4th quarter of massive blowouts. The "stoops" way is a disgrace to the sport. He missed Fleming too--Gabe Lynn got his ass lit up so badly he was benched and replaced by a Safety and Landry Jones is a system QB, not an elite NFL prospect. Loss of composure, defense exposed again--those little midget defenders aren't even good at what they are supposed to be--pass defense.
And I BEG the BCS/Computers, etc....do NOT give them benefit of the doubt if they start winning again. Giving up 41 pts to Texas Tech at home is not worthy of a National Championship Game. Just as losing to KSU by 28 in conference title game wasn't, just as playing HS level defense in '04 and '08 deprived fans from seeing real championship games. Why the hell does OU get the benefit of the doubt so often? ENOUGH. They play HS defense in a 7 on 7 passing league, not a conference.
Ending of MSU-Wisconsin is why CFB is amazing and what makes sports great.
USC surprised me in how easily they manhandled ND upfront. This is a young/average USC OL and they dominated the Irish's front 7. Manti Teo had an off game--great player but bad game. Robert Woods is starting to remind me of Jerry Rice. Everything he does is at full speed and that makes him play faster then he is and a great player. Great routes, great acceleration, great hands, after catch, etc....just a tremendous player.
Al Golden is doing work! ;D

Brian Kelly is a moron. Gray and Wood combined for 9 carries. I especially liked playing 3 different qb's on a critical drive down 7 in the second half. Yes, Rees was hurt for a bit, but there was no reason to throw Hendrix in there "just because". The result? Yet another 14 points swing.

Bt then to follow it up the next week with Wisconsin-Ohio St. was amazing. I rag the Big 10 and often call their teams/games "boring," but that certainly wasn't the case for the Badgers the past couple of weekends.

Won't Cincy and Pitt play next year? You're right. All this realignment nonsense has me a bit mixed up. Still, the River City Rivalry will likely be one of the shortest-lived trophy games in CFB history. The Paddlewheel Trophy was introduced in 2005 as a goodwill gesture (or marketing ploy, depending on your level of cynicism) when the Bearcats joined the Big East.
