2008-2009 College Football Wrap-Up
Friday, January 9, 2009 20:31 No CommentsAnother college football season has come and gone, and the Florida Gators are the unanimous national champions. I was hoping against hope that the AP would go out on a limb and name Utah #1. Not surprisingly, that possibility didn’t realize, but the Utes did garner the AP’s #2 spot, in the process grabbing an [...]
Running Up the Score
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 20:37 6 CommentsEvery time a team continues to pile on the points long after the game is out of reach, crybabies who belong on hippie communes where competition is forbidden complain about running up the score.
I like running up the score. I believe in running up the score, in demoralizing your opponent so viciously that they trble [...]
The Real National Champions
Friday, January 2, 2009 22:05 2 CommentsCongratulations to the Utah Utes on an undefeated 13-0 season. To complete perfection in such dominating fashion over the highly-ranked and nearly-perfect Crimson Tide… there is no doubt in my mind that the Utes are the true national champions of college football this season. Too bad there isn’t a playoff to prove it, but at [...]
Nate’s Most Intriguing Bowl Matchups
Friday, December 19, 2008 10:27 2 CommentsSan Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (San Diego, CA – December 23)
#11 TCU Horned Frogs (10-2) vs. #9 Boise State Broncos (12-0)
In my mind, this is easily the most intriguing matchup of the bowl season outside the national championship game itself. Don’t let those two losses for a non-BCS school fool you; TCU has [...]
Football Coaches Have A Sense of Humor
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 18:12 No CommentsIf a college football coach votes in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did he really vote?
After the 2004 Texas-California BCS debacle (not to be confused with the various BCS travesties from other years), the powers-at-be determined that the final vote in the USA Today / Coaches Poll should be made [...]
Bowl Picture Becoming Clearer
Saturday, November 22, 2008 22:39 No CommentsAll three AP-poll ranked ACC teams lost today. At least the most overrated conference in college football can take solace in the fact that one of the two Coach’s Poll ranked teams, Boston College, did win. Can’t wait to see how the ACC is treated when the new rankings are released tomorrow.
Congratulations to Utah for [...]
College Football Scheduling
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 18:05 No CommentsRemember when college football games were played on Saturday?
Then came the addition of Thursday. Then Friday. Now Wednesday, and even Tuesday. Tuesday?
Don’t get me wrong, I like having more football games on more days. It’s just tough to get my head around football being an everyday of the week sport like baseball, hockey and basketball. But it now is.
Not that most of these games will show [...]
Bowl Championship Series Big Craziness Shake-up
Sunday, November 2, 2008 21:49 No CommentsAnother week, another Bowl Championship Series shake-up. Texas Tech’s huge upset victory over previous #1 Texas vaulted them into second and third in the AP and Coaches’ polls, respectively, and, more importantly, into second in the BCS rankings–in the process leap-frogging several other teams, including fellow unbeaten Penn State. Congratulations to Tech; the [...]
