Well, I was waiting before I sent this edition out. Waiting for 5 things in particular. In no particular order:
1. I was Waiting for Rebellion. Waiting for the Riots to Begin. Waiting for total Bedlam, Mayhem, and outright Rage over on particular issue. Apparently, there is apathy everywhere…Or at least, there’s not enough steam building up behind the forces that need to act to change the sorry State that College Football finds itself in.
If you haven’t been paying attention, I will briefly review: Texas Beat the Laters in the Red River Shootout. Texas lost to Tex Tech at Tex Tech. The Laters then DESTROY Tex Tech at home. And how does the Big 12 Break the tie? By letting the Polls decided who should represent the Big 12 South in the Championship game.
And the polls picked the Laters. Even though they lost to TEXAS! Frankly, I was hoping and PRAYING for this. I thought that once and for all, Texans everywhere would begin demanding a better solution. A better way, A PLAY OFF FOR GOD’S SAKE!
But, there doesn’t seem to be an outrage. Oh, there’s a lot of internet talk and ESPN continues to harp about the unfairness of it all…but still, is this what we have come to in this sport? Letting the polls decide AFTER IT’S DECIDED ON THE FIELD? Can you imagine if in 2006, Michigan would have beat OSU, but just barely, and then Florida and USC would have moved up into the 1-2 spot? Sheesh…What a friggin’ mess…
2. I was waiting for the official sacrifice of the Fatted Weasel, er, Wuzzles, er, Weis at Notra Dumb….But Alas, even though his record is no better than Losingham’s, and the only guys he’s won with were Losingham’s recruits, somehow, this Athletic Department figures that Wuzzles is the right guy for the job…Interesting. And BTW, I AIN’T Buying the story that the buy-out isn’t a big deal. IT’S A BIG DEAL. That’s why they didn’t stick an apple in his mouth and put him on the spit. Even though I think Skip Holz would have been welcomed with open arms by the fans and alumni, you get to look at Charlie for another year…..
3. Tommy Twotone. Well, This one happened. He resigned, which surprises me – and in a way doesn’t. Tommy is a class act. 85-40 over 10 years with an undefeated season in 2004. And I think he will end up on his feet somewhere else. I have said it here before and I will say it again: I think Tommy makes a GREAT Big Ten Coach with his defensive, smash mouth style. And if you DON’T think this was a firing in disguise: Twotone’s buyout will be paid, but not out of University Funds: Read – Rich Alumni wanted him GONE…Jeez, you gotta lover the SEC.
4. And in other SEC news that wasn’t, I really expected to hear something about old Les Miles and his failure this year. I have heard and seen quite a bit on the internet about how the AD should have let Michigan HAVE HIM, can his ass, etc, etc, etc. Yes, what a difference a year would have made. We would have had an SEC style offense and defense coming here with some of the coaches retained and the Michigan traditions and styles intact. Instead, we have…well, I am not really sure what we have…but I am liking it less and less all the time. Don’t for one minute think that the fans and alumni are still basking in the National Title Limelight when their team is 7-5, looking at a flea bag bowl and their former, WELL LOVED Coach Satan has the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship, one win away from a national Title…No, life is not pretty right now for Les Miles….
5. Ditto for Spurrier. I really figured that there would be something by now about getting the Ole Ball Coach out of there….
The Rest of the Mess
DOMERS vs. RUBBERS: Boy, do the Domers suck. And we lost to them. How bad is Michigan? I mean, the Domers didn’t have a first down in the first half. That’s bad. I could go on, but apparently, the AD and others have decided that 6-6 with Flubber is good enough. Oh, by the way, I see USC in the Title Game, but more on that in a minute…
LATERS vs. Cowboys: They earned it, but can anyone be really happy with the situation with the Laters? I mean, they are a great team, but they lost to TEXAS! Come on…
GATORLAND vs.FSU: Bobby Bowden needs to hang it up….It’s over.
SATAN vs. TUBBERVILLE: Unfortunately, Tommy couldn’t pull off the miracle, nor could he save his job. It’s unfortunate, but Satan is one win away from the National Title game…Hard to Believe
HUSKERS – BUFFLAOES: I love this game on Friday. I didn’t call it out last week as a big game as it really didn’t mean anything. But did you watch it? All you needed to see was the last quarter and the 57 yard winning Field Goal to clinch it…That was AWESOME….Huskers earned their moniker finishing 8-4. Pelini is figuring it out….
BCS STANDINGS:
1. ALABAMA
2. LATERS: This sucks…How can you get beaten by TEXAS and be AHEAD OF THEM?
3. SHORTHORNS – Got the Short End, if you get my drift..
4. GATORLAND - Best Team playing right now – too bad about Ole Miss
5. RUBBERS – OKAY – ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? I didn’t think this could happen, but actually, it’s quite simple. The BCS will NOT TAKE a non Championship Team in the 1-2 spot. I think there’s a rule against this now. So, MIZZOU upsets the LATERS. You CAN’T TAKE TEXAS and Therefore, you have to take USC!! Unbelievable, isn’t it?
6. UTAH – RAAAAAAAALPFFFFFF!
7. Tex Tech – I would love to see a Tex Tech Utah Match-up….
8. PENN STATE: Looks like you locked up 8 spot…
9. BOYS STATE –RAAALPFFFFF II
10. Suckeyes
IDLE THOUGHTS FROM SATURDAY
1. It’s easier to watch Football when Michigan isn’t playing…
2. Oklahoma is REALLY GOOD…
3. AUBURN is REALLY BAD…
4. DOMERS fall off the SCALE OF DEFINITION FOR BAD…
5. WHY COULD LLOYD HAVE STAYED ON ONE MORE SEASON OR SOMEONE INTERIMMED FOR 1 MORE GD YEAR! We could be talking to Les Miles Right NOW and getting him for a song…Yes, I would take Les coming off an SEC 7-5 Season over Rich Rod undefeated playing for a National Title….Sorry, that’s just the Michigan Man Talking….
6. USC will DESTROY PSU if that happens….
7. Speaking of USC, of all the cheerleaders and hotties we reviewed, by Golly, they were the hottest – Doncha' ya' think????
8. But UCLA AIN'T THAT BAD, EITHER!
What a Rivalry!
This week’s hot seat mascot: Mila Kunis! When searching for “That 70’s Show” star Laura Prepon, well, Mila just popped up. And even though there is no viable Michigan Connection, well, you know, she’s…..
