afternoon games - Sat Sept 18

I didn't realize that JMU had the week off. I hope they can maintain their 11 points in next week's AP Top 25 Poll.

The Hoyas fell in a shootout at the hands of Yale earlier today. So much for perfection. They actually had a few votes in the FCS poll. Yeah that was a mistake.

Maybe it's just me but I think that Florida - Tennessee is still a big game. I mean without the Vols providing resistance, the SEC East has basically been a layup for the Gators.

Minnesota is on the board early against USC. Better start than against South Dakota State.

Looks like Va Tech has woken up from their slumber. Up on ECU in the 4th by 15. Make that 22. Yeah I'm calling it now. Later ESPN3.

ECU has now given up 49 points for the 2nd time in 3 games. Their record in such games is about to even up at 1-1. The time they didn't give up 49? They scored 49 themselves. Doobie doobie do.

Rocky likes to sleep dangerously. He keeps falling asleep with his head under one of the recliners. He's lucky I'm not drinking.

15 minutes in the books at in Durham and the Crimson Tide are up 28 - 3. I can't believe this game is taking place.

The first player on the KPI all-name team is Air Force Senior DE Rick Ricketts. His parents sent the bar pretty high when they named that kid.

Rocky is also laying on the power cord to my laptop. I feel like it's only a matter of time before he's running with scissors.

Hey remember when people talked about USC QB Matt Barkley for the Heisman?

With the score 28-0 'Bama in the 1st quarter against Duke, Brendan asked me if I thought "they" had punted it yet. I replied by saying, "Who Duke?". The only thing better than sarcasm is more sarcasm. It's sorta like extra cheese on your pizza.

From what I've seen Air Force QB Tim Jefferson is only good at one thing. Bad news for Falcon fans is that that one thing is punting. Close game at the half but I can't imagine Air Force scoring a touchdown on something other than a special teams or defensive touchdown.

I don't want to get all Clinton Portis on everybody but ABC thinks so little of Alabama - Duke game that they have a woman doing play-by-play.

Are Horned Frogs real? I think TCU is for real but I'm not sure about their nickname.

Colorado is awful. I bet they can't wait until they get to play Washington State in the Pac-12. I get the feeling that Dan Hawkins wishes he hadn't left the blue turf of Boise. There's also a good chance his next coaching gig will be with an intramural team.

The Idaho State - Northern Colorado game is in HD. The Hawaii - Colorado game isn't. Also: The announcer just called them "UNC". Yeah that's not their name.

Is it homecoming in Knoxville? This halftime is taking forever.

USC is up 13-7 at the half. This is the 2nd week in a row that I've seen some of their game and they are unspectacular yet turning out results.

I have a hard time believing that Monte Kiffin likes his son.

Minnesota was winning. For about 10 seconds. 19-14 USC because Kiffin loves going for 2 whenever and wherever. Let's hope that comes back to get him sooner rather than later.

Air Force is driving again. It's as if they want to compete in Norman. That's something FSU doesn't know anything about.

The Buffaloes just took the lead over the Rainbow Warriors in Boulder. Still pathetic by Colorado.

I keep flipping to the SMU - Washington State game. There's just something about Gerald Ford Stadium that fascinates me. I feel like SMU with Jim Jones could be a sleeping non-BCS.

I went over this last week but Simms is not a good quarterback. 24-10 Gators and I'm putting this game to bed.

If Verne Lundquist were to read a bunch of books on tape I would start buying books on tape.

Alabama just punted for the first time. There are still 4 minutes left in the 3rd. 55-13. I don't know what the spread was for this "contest" but I have to imagine that Duke was one of the largest home underdogs from a BCS conference EVER.

Ball game in Knoxville again. Huge 4th down conversion for SIX.

Blocked XPT in Madison has the Sundevils trailing the Badgers by 1 with 4 minutes to go. So much for the OT game I was hoping on seeing this afternoon.

We have mercifully made our way to the 4th quarter in Durham. Duke has given up 109 points the last two Saturdays. So far.

Make that 106 points. Even Coach K would have a problem with that this early in the season.

I think Chick-fil-A does a really good job with their commercials. The reasons are two fold. I want to try their Spicy Chicken Sandwich and I think they are funny. Win-win.

I wonder who would win if BYU and Samford played in football. I'm sure FSU wishes they were in the ACC.

Jake Locker for Heisman? Yeah I don't think so.

The backup at Tennessee must really suck because Dooley keeps sticking with Simms.

The 2nd player on the KPI All-Name Team has been spotted. Tennessee Freshmen WR Da'Rick Rogers. Verne Lundquist really stressed the RICK part of his name.

Well it's time to get serious for that killer 8pm kickoff from East Lansing.
