Sunday Afternoon QB

First off, Dantonio has balls; that was a risky call - too say the least - with a risk/reward ratio that most men would avoid like the plague. Why not keep playing for the tie and go to the next overtime? Because fuck all that noise, bitch, that's why. Now help me get my balls out of the stadium...and put on a tie, this is Michigan STATE for chrissakes. You wanna dress like that, move to Ann Arbor.



------------------------------------
UPDATE: HOLY SHIT. It was such a ballsy cal, he apparently gave himself a heart attack. I hope he's OK.
------------------------------------
Staying in America's high five, how bad is Michigan's defense? TERRIBLE. Side note: How dulled are we by Robinson's first two games, that his 395 yard, 3-TD day is "workman-like." He's not gonna put up 503 every week, guys.

Now for the home team: Rev up the hot-seat talk. Richt's Bulldogs are 0-2 in the SEC and all the half-wits, know-nothings, knee-jerkers, and dirt-road alum will have their sound machine in full force now. Hell, they barely shut up in the off season. What if UGA finished 10-2 while SoCar and Arkansas play for the SEC title? What then? I mean, it's not going to happen, but what if ti did? All the bitching that's already starting would seem foolish with two-months reflection. So why don't we just wait a bit and see what happens, OK? Unless we're 0-3 in the SEC leaving Stark-Vegas. Then it's on. Just kidding. Kind of. Seriously, please beat Mississippi State.

I HATE losing to Ryan Mallet. He seems like a giant white-trash douche. Maybe I'm not a good enough Georgia fan, but losing to Peyton back in the day, or Tebow the last few years, never bothered me as much as losing to this moron. Also, FUCK PETRINO. I hate him, too. But now I'm torn. Do I cheer for Arkansas to upset 'Bama so our loss doesn't look so bad? Or do I pray for a vicious, Rome vs. Gaul style smack down of comeuppance in the Ozarks?

Hey, look at that, Virginia Tech won a game. Now watch them rip-off nine straight wins and win the ACC.

Case Keenum's out - so's Houston chances of doing anything impressive this year.

Martinez is going to make Nebraska for real this year. Texas has looked disappointing and Oklahoma's Jekyll and Hyde act is unsettling, so maybe it's time for the Big-XII North champ. to make the BCS Title game. The Husker rushing offense has been straight nasty and could be enough to push Pelini and Co. over the edge.

Speaking of the Big-XII and rushing offense, maybe we shouldn't be so hard on Oklahoma. Air Force leads the nation in rushing and that temp can make it hard to pull away and ice a game. So the close game might have been more a testament to the Falcons' skill than the Sooners' shortcomings.

Who's the number 2 rushing team in the nation? Oregon. Who is now, with their 69-0 win, slightly better than a point a minute through 3 games.

Black Unis can look cool. Georgia's blackouts looked awesome*, Tennessee's Halloween special last year was tough, Mississippi State looked good giving a win to LSU, and Stanford's special color-combo was awesome last night. You might not always win when you do it, but it can look good.

While we're on special unis, I thought Auburn might break out blue pants/helmets for the True Blue game against their cousins from Clemson. Instead, the Auburn defense decided to accent their jerseys with flecks of Kyle Parker's blood and vomit.

Friday Night Lights: Look at Nevada knocking off Cal. Colin Kaepernick is fun to watch and with his performance, will be added to my Heisman watch list, which right now is all scrappy and mobile QB's.

Temple is the new Iowa.

Mark Ingram has not forgotten how to play. And wasn't it nice of Duke to give him all that room to stretch his legs?

Rumor has it Ann Richards worked some magic and pulled some political strings to get Baylor in the Big-XII over TCU. Well done. That worked out so well this weekend.

* Home blackouts only. That high-school looking shit we did in Jax. last year was HIDEOUS. But I guess the helmets matched out athletic output.
