NCAA Football...

After watching too much college football over the past few weeks, I've come to several conclusions:

1. The Big Ten is a really sucky conference. Teams are slow and dumb, and if it weren't for the sheer weight of the student bodies/alumni of these 2nd rate universities, they wouldn't even be invited to bowl games (except maybe as cannon fodder, which is all they're good for). Hell, it's even boring watching these plodding teams lose...

2. The BCS sucks as much as as the Big Ten (and these 2 suck together and help prop each other up). A team like Utah might, just might, be the best team in the country, yet they get screwed. All other NCAA games have playoffs, but we're told this is impossible in Division 1A (or whatever they call it nowadays) football. What a feckin' crock...

3. There are several elite college football teams (USC, Utah, Florida), while parity is pretty much spreading across the rest of the teams. When Ole Miss can clobber Texas Tech and Oregon State and Pittsburgh can play a 3-0 game, then you know parity has arrived. Which cries out even more for a playoff...


Go Utes!

4. Have I mentioned how boring and sucky Big Ten teams are? If not, let me state that they are...

5. I've always been a "lukewarm" college football fan, and the bullshit of this season is reinforcing that. I much prefer college hoops, and this season is starting off great. In the current AP poll, 9 of the Top 25 teams are from the Big East. Holy Crap! Syracuse is gonna have to work hard every night (which is a good thing)...

6. Turner Gill has really made the UB football team a fun bunch. He's obviously moving on (probably after next season), but the hope is UB can keep it up -- it would be nice. Hopes are also up at Syracuse, with Doug Marronne as the new coach. We shall see...

7. The Big Ten sucks, dontcha know? I can't stand the hypocrite Joe Paterno, it was great to his his hapless bunch crushed like a cockroach by USC. I admit, that was fun, almost as much fun as watching Slowhio State lose "at the buzzer," making their whiny fans even sadder. LOL!...

Oh well, I can't say I really care whether Florida or Oklahoma wins on Thursday night. National Champions, right...

It's really time to start calling it the "Big BEast" now isn't it? Funny thing is that it's going to be very hard for any of the Big Beast teams to finish high in the polls. They're going to be beating on each other all season.

I'm betting only 9 teams make the tourney, though, probably, 12 will be worthy. As you say, they'll be beating on each other for the next couple of months...

In 6 weeks spring training will be underway. You can make it Rob, and there's plenty of room for you on the bandwagon. Beer and hot dogs, too!

Play ball!

Let's see...

1. Watching Big ten "football."

2. Watching basebore.

3. Putting a loaded gun to my head and pulling the trigger.

Yup, #3 wins, every time, with this bunch!

We all know Slowhio State sucks. Cincinnati has the best team in that state -- certainly more entertaining to watch.

I despise BC for going to the ACC. I always wish them slow deaths -- great to see Harvard beat the losers!

But the Big East got better after the loser defections, in both football and basketball, so I guess I should thank the loser schools that left. ;-)
