Well, I have to admit – I am starting to feel like a jinx. Unable to bear what I thought was going to be a brutal first half of football, I agreed to join my wife and girls on a Pumpkin Patch Adventure at the Cider Mill. After running into some friends and helping them with their locked in the car keys dilemma, I was able to walk by the kettle corn stand and heard the game on. I asked the guy for the score.
“10 –nothing.” So, in my head I thought, “That’s not so bad.” Then he said, “Michigan.” That’s when I about lost it and said, “You have got to be kidding me.” “Nope. Michigan’s up and they are in control of the game.”
Now, I can’t tell you what happened from the time I actually heard that, got a report from several other fans, and then finally got home and turned on the TV, but when I started watching, Michigan looked like the same sand lot football team that I watched stink it up against Toledo with Sheridan throwing to a lineman out of the end zone for a safety. Nice.
I thought about turning it off, but then I realized that I had the same thoughts during the Wisconsin game. I decided to leave it on and it continued to get uglier and uglier. I don’t know what else to add or say from what’s already been said. I am glad we found Brandon Minor and he’s showing some leadership and getting tough yards. The defense, when I saw them, looked atrocious.
But is PSU worthy of a BCS #3 ranking at this point? I don’t think so….over rated, even though we couldn’t handle them….
But at least Sparty lost….I don’t know how I missed so bad on that prediction and let’s dive into
The Rest of the Mess
SPARTY – SUCKEYES: Sparty, Sparty, Sparty. I hate to use the SOS term, but, jeez, you guys sure seem to know exactly when to have a really bad game – and even worse execution. I was thinking that the Suckeyes were weak and vulnerable, and you made them look like national title contenders again. Turnovers, sloppy tackling, and you lost your QB – for what that’s worth…. Maybe Dantonio isn’t the coach I thought he was. I was expecting more….I actually think we can beat you if you show up to Ann Arbor looking like that….
SHORTHORNS – MIZZOU: I’ll admit, I liked Missouri a lot in this game. More than I probably should have, but I still thought Chase Daniel and company would bounce back and steal this one from an over exuberant Texas team….Once again, I was wrong……BIG TIME…
RUBBERS – WAZOO: Apparently, WSU does not have a team this year, so you go to their stadium, run a practice, and then decide what you want your score to be….
CLEMSON – GEORGIA TECH: So, Tommy Bowden is Fired/Quits (Pick your own word here – I still can’t figure it out after reading the reports) on Monday and Tech drives another nail into the continuously over rated Tigers season….My guess is they might not make a bowl at this point making pre-season rankings look even sillier….Can we just stop ranking them until the 5th week of the season?
VIRGINIA – NORTH CAROLINA: I think Al Groh must have been a cat in a different life….He finds a way to beat North Carolina and keep himself off the hot seat….
HOAKIES – BC: OOOPS! Boston College can still play without Matty Ryan….Hoakies out of the drivers seat in the ACC Atlantic….
LMU – USC: Les beats the Ole Ball Coach and further confirms that Spurrier is probably done after this season….
GATORLAND: Byes are nice….I think you are over rated in the BCS rankings, however…But time will tell…
DOMERS: Byes are nice…..
IDLE THOUGHTS FROM SATURDAY
1. I wonder if PSU has ever considered adding some color to their Uniforms? I mean, they are classic and all, but still….Blue and White gets a little boring…..
2. If a Suckeye shows up at your stadium and starts making noise, does anyone really pay attention?

3. If I were a fan without an allegiance, what school would I root for? Yes, LSU looks nice…Those are some nice Golden Girls…And they have all those night games to give you a chance to get something done during the day…Or drink more at the tailgate – I don’t know which.
4. Of course, MSU’s cheerleaders aren’t as pretty as they used to be – but they “Yo Quiero Taco Bell!”
HOT SEAT
This week’s HOT SEAT Mascot: Actress and recent breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate. I sure hope the reconstructive surgery can save her natural assets….The Bundy Reunion show just wouldn’t be the same…

1. T. BOWDEN – GONE
2. Fullmer – I don’t see how he keeps his job at the end of the year
3. Wilingham – if the Domers beat him…Well, he was a nice guy, but I don’t think anyone will pick him up now – not as a head coach
4. Groh – How does this guy manage to eek out a win when he needs one?
5. Ferentz – Yeah, he beat Wisconsin, but had to suspend his kid for drinking…How long will Iowa Fan put up with his shenanigans?
GETTING WARM:
RICH ROD – Yes, there is a fire Rich Rod Website….Do I subscribe to that theory that you should can this guy right now? No. But if it ain’t happening next year and the effort – COACHING EFFORT – continues to suck, then, by all means
Bill Martin – Yeah, I know he’s not a coach. Can him anyway…..
The Ole Ball Coach – He’s quitting or getting fired at the end of the season… just a hunch…
Games of the WEEK
Michigan - SPARTY: I like Michigan….Sparty, you don’t have a QB and it shows
THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Auburn at WVU….Should be a good one…
PUPPY DOGS at LMU: I like Les and I don’t like the Puppies…
OSU at Texas: We will see if Okie State is for real…
Bama at Cremesicles: The Waterloo of Fullmer begins...
PSU at SUCKEYES: Game of the Week for the Big 10….Well, at least one of them loses….
