Well I drank the Notre Dame kool-aid and synonymous with Irish fans, was left disappointed. Surprise, surprise. Helping ease the pain from that embarrassment however, was a very entertaining second week. USC proved it could go on the road to Columbus and win with a freshman quarterback. South Carolina and Georgia played in a ...Published on: 15th September, 2009
You’re going to have to bear with me this week. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, thousands of Red Raider fans stormed the field in a frenzy. The euphoric sensation that comes with knocking off the number one team in the country enveloped Jones At&T Stadium, and Longhorn nation; ...Published on: 14th September, 2009
First and foremost, let me start by saying that I was wrong in my assessment that there was no way SC walks into Columbus with a true freshman quarterback and wins. However, while I do agree that USC should be commended for winning in a hostile environment and should be slated ...Published on: 11th September, 2009
The Big 12 kicked off the 2009 season in style, as the only two teams to lose out of the 12 were Colorado and surprisingly, Oklahoma. The biggest surprise of the week was indubitably the 37-9 spanking the Missouri Tigers put on the Fighting Illini of Illinois. Coming into the season there was ...Published on: 11th September, 2009
Much has been made about the SEC and their status as the premier conference in all of college football. Indeed, I will be the first to tell you that they have been in a league of their own as far as talent, depth, and accomplishments go for the better part of ...Published on: 9th September, 2009
Week one gave us plenty of surprises. OU going down in Dallas was the biggest, but others such as Michigan looking to be on the rise, ND looking like they're in midseason form, Washington playing with a swagger, and Florida blowing out Charleston Southern were also head-turners. Lol, see what I did there...I ...Published on: 6th September, 2009
1. Notre Dame looks for real – A lot of you gave me grief because I rated the Irish so high in my preseason power 10. I understand Nevada isn’t going to be mistaken with Florida or Oklahoma’s defense but the weapons on that Irish team (Tate and Floyd) coupled ...Published on: 6th September, 2009
This game didn’t belong to him, the people said. Not against OU’s highly touted D, not against Bradford, not with an inadequate offensive line. Max Hall, the 23-year-old, the pride of Mesa, AZ strapped on his helmet, knelt and had a silent prayer to himself, and took the field. A senior now, ...Published on: 4th September, 2009
With the recent and unfortunate news of Oklahoma's All American TE Jermaine Gresham going down with a knee injury, one has to inquire on how the team will be subsequently affected. Jermaine is a rare talent. At 6’6" 258, Gresham has the perfect blend of size, strength, and athleticism. He also ...Published on: 4th September, 2009
South Carolina and North Carolina State kicked off the 2009 football season last night and it showed in each team’s lack of focus and execution. I heard the word “inauspicious” thrown around a lot, which I thought was veritably appropriate from a viewer’s standpoint. This game was defined by penalties, miscues, ...
