Well today was a bit of a bumpy ride. If I didn't know better I would say that God is trying to tell me to stop watching sports. He's also telling me to get a new phone because mine dies every few hours. It's dead now. Weird.
Out of the three games of interest to me, only one result, Arsenal of course, was a surprise. ND and DCU didn't let me down as much as they just reinforced what I already figured to be true. They suck.
I didn't endorse the Brian Kelly hiring. I saw it as a lateral move from Charlie Weis. What's the point of making a lateral move? Everybody on TV was clamoring for the BK hiring. Maybe it will work out. I doubt it but I guess you never really know. You just have to be sure that when you get rid of a guy you are going to get a better guy to fill that spot. Making changes just to make changes isn't a great long term strategy.
It's not the losses, its how they are losing. Questionable decisions in both losses to the Michigan schools followed up by the complete ass kicking by the Cardinal. At least Tyronne and Charlie had decency to start out hot. BK is pulling a Bob Davie. In case you didn't know, that's not a compliment.
So what else happened:
Alabama survived a scare. Same with Oklahoma. Mack Brown had his lunch money taken by UCLA. Boise State kept the dream alive. WVU failed at defending the honor of the Big East in Baton Rouge. Norm Chow finally figured out how to win with Prince at QB. The Big Ten as a whole had one of the most dispicable days in the history of conference scheduling. Check out who their teams played and the scores. Embarrassing.
JMU held on to beat Liberty. Liberty held the Dukes to 10 points. Maybe Bud Foster should give one of the kids on Liberty that stupid lunch pail this week. Hopefully JMU keeps getting their AP Top 25 votes so long as they stay undefeated.
The Hoyas are 3-1 and 2-0 in the Patriot League. Today's win against Holy Cross, first in 11 years, could have been program changing. Hoya Saxa even on the Gridiron.
Right now might be one of the best part's of the day. I've got a crazy Pac 10 game to watch with 3 of my best friends. Rocky, Mike & Ike. There really is nothing like a good old fashioned shootout out west that goes well past 2am.
Just inside of the 4th quarter and Oregon leads at Arizona State 42-31. The Ducks returned a lateral for a TD in the 3rd. I feel like Dennis Erickson isn't cheating enough in Tempe. It normally doesn't take him this long to make a team really good. He should go to a Calipari seminar on ethics.
Hey so who gets the fun job of painting the practice field back to green in Corvallis? I doubt the Oregon State players are going to want to look at the blue turf when they get home.
It's hard to believe College Football has been with us for a month now. Next week the games are pretty good. Probably the first of 2 match-ups between Florida and Alabama unless South Carolina or Auburn can step up strong to the mic.
ND travels to Chestnut Hill for a evening kickoff. It will be nice to have all day to dread their taking of the field. Arsenal doesn't get a chance to kill my Saturday next week as they won't lay until Sunday. Thank you Gunnersaurus.
