Monday Evening QB

Well, thanks in part to Aroo's nuptial weekend and my almost record-braking chemical intake performance Friday/Saturday, I missed most of the college football action this weekend. Maybe miss is the wrong word. More like I saw it in flashes and glimpses; phone updates, text crawls, casual rehearsal dinner conversations, etc. and just wasn't in the state of mind to process it all into any thing coherent.

Here's what does standout:

Denard Robinson is still good at football...but like we all knew, he wouldn't stay healthy. He did throw up over 200 yards and 2 TD's in just a quarter of playtime. That's just gross.

This year's NC State is going to be fun to watch. 

I have NO IDEA what's wrong at Georgia. That loss was a big reason for my own reckless, Robinson-like run through Saturday night's festivities. Of all the disappointments so far in 2010, the O-line has got to be the biggest.Over 150 combined starts and a position coach pushing half a mil. and we get output like this? Yikes. Yes, I know its a freshman QB and a new defense, and I know the play-calling is questionable, and I know everything starts at the top, but the O-line play is toughest for me to digest right now.

Some places don't quite know their way around traditional bar-serving sizes. I ordered "Jim Beam, neat" from a waitress at Aroo's rehearsal and was presented with a martini glass full of chilled Bourbon. It was glorious and I had two of them...here in ATH they would cost me $50.

What's going on in Austin?

How's LSU still 4-0? I keep waiting for the implosion, but the defense and special teams keeps bailing the offense and the Mad Hatter out of tight spots. In exchange, the Tigers keep climbing the polls. And it's hard to argue with the logic of rewarding a team who's played all FBS, mostly BCS AQ teams. But it's coming. Soon.

Tressell finally had a little fun with the play calling...with his Buckeyes up by almost 30 points. That's like loosening your tie on the walk back to your car after wearing it through the entire reception.

Sometimes it's better to dabble with illegal substances and just go ahead and knock yourself out for the night than to continue drinking, flirt with alcohol poison, and emerge on the other side with the worst hangover ever. However, none of this should still be happening when you're pushing three decades.

Here comes Nevada. Welcome to the top-25, Wolfpack.

Lastly, congratulations to Aroo and his new wife. It was a fun time, a beautiful ceremony, and a great reception. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it.
