Another smashing start to this Saturday as far as my rooting interests are concerned. Before I get into that here is a look at the latest Kings Park Index.
1- Alabama (1 last week) - I can't believe they really played at Duke last week. It went exactly the way you might figure. What I don't want is for Nick Saban to gloss over the opponent at the end of the year by boasting that his Crimson Tide went on the road and got a win against at BCS school. While technically true it won't really paint an accurate picture.
2 - Oregon (2) - These high flying Ducks love to score. I hope they can win the Pac -10 but I'm not holding my breath. A few years ago I was all about them and then Dixon got hurt.
3 - Ohio State (4) - I guess they are good. Buckeyes look to stay perfect in the MAC this weekend.
4 - Nebraska (NR) - Are the Black Shirts back? They really took the Huskies behind the woodshed last week. They held Jake Locker to 4-20 passing with 2 picks. So much for that Heisman. I worry that the 'Huskers won't get the benefit of many calls once their final lap through the BIG XI begins.
5 - Boise State (5) - Big game tonight against the Beavers. The Oregon schools just can't keep away from playing the Broncos. My dream scenario involves Boise State playing in the BCS against a non- SEC school. No sweater vests either.
Well Arsenal just laid an absolute boulder sized egg. The teams I root for have been snake bitten since that stoppage time goal last week. ND then lost on a fake field goal in overtime that was so dramatic the heart of Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio attacked him following the win. Then United let Landon Donovan beat them all by himself. The next day the 'Skins blew a 17 point lead at home to lose to the Texans in OT.
I was hoping this weekend would be better. So much for hope. Arsenal was my only real chance at relief in today's slate of games. I'm sitting on my couch just dreading my trip of doom to RFK.
ND is in the batter's box of my personal sports torture show that is currently being played on a rather large loop. I'm not holding my breath. United is on deck. I'd consider scoring more than 1 goal, whatever the result, to count as a win.
Jim Harbaugh this. Jim Harbaugh that. Does anybody know what his record is at Stanford? Yeah he is 20-20. To put that reocrd in perspective it's pretty much the same record that Tyronne Willingham had through 40 games. Yeah in all likelihood he will be a tick above .500 after today but let's get off this guy's proverbial jock for a minute.
Ok well it's almost time to get out of here. NC State is up on GA Tech early. I have a soft spot in my heart for the way Paul Johnson wants to control the ball with the option. C'mon Yellow Jackets.
VA Tech is up on BC. I'm tired of seeing that stupid Lunch Pail thing. Almost as annoying as the trophy case without the National Championship Trophy. Puh-leese.
I hope Arkansas can give 'Bama a game today. I need 'Bama to get a loss but to beat Florida so they both have at least one loss before the SEC Title Game. Even though he's not super dependable, I'm counting on Bobby Petrino today.
hhgregg might be a cool score but their name is retarded so I will never go there. They are having a private sale this weekend. What's odd about this private sale is that they keep showing commercials about it. I wouldn't advise anybody telling their private information to hhgregg. It will most likely end up on a broadcast during college football games.
Can Maryland lose to FIU? That would be a nice little consolation prize for today. Let me check the score. 14-7 Terps. I think the Golden Panthers can do the job.
Let's check in on the Big Ten network. Here are the games right now:
Ball State v Iowa
Austin Peay v Wisconsin
Northern Colorado v Michigan State
I'm serious. Those are the games from the network that was ALMOST the catalyst for conference Armageddon this past off-season. Every week it just looks more and more lucrative.
BC driving in right before the half in what has to be the most boring game on right now. BC being in the ACC is just ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous was the play to end the half for BC. Wait why do the Eagles get to kick a field goal with 0:00 on the clock? HAHA. Nevermind. Half over losers.
Alright that's it for me. See everybody on the Blue Turf.
