College Football Update: That SI Football Offer is Mighty Tempting

We are experiencing another super-duper fun day of the popular American sport, college football. Unfortunately, something is up with my cable and I cannot get ABC, so I am stuck watching the games on ESPN.

Before the night games get under way, let's recap some of the earlier action:
  • Iowa upsets Illinois, 10-6- Ron Zook: And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and your dumb Hawk. I'm glad I missed this game to go cover a soccer match (they won).
  • Kentucky beats LSU, 43-37-NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I went against Kentucky and it backfired. Why me?
  • USC holds off Arizona, 20-13- The Men of Troy are back in business, or are they? This could be a false sense of security.
  • South Carolina holds off late rally by North Carolina to win, 21-15- One yard shy folks, just one more yard and who knows.
  • Oregon destroys Washington State, 53-7- Oooh that can't feel good.
  • Cornell beats Colgate, 17-14- Score one for the non-toothpaste team.
  • Texas blows away Iowa State, 56-3- Makes you want to hide in a corner and wait for the beatdown to end.
  • Oklahoma State destroys Nebraska, 45-14- I wonder, will Mike Gundy will stick up for the Cornhuskers after their terrible performance?
  • Ohio defeated Eastern Michigan, 48-42- Does anybody really care? I cared enough to post the score.
  • Northwestern beats Minnesota in a double overtime shootout, 49-48- This is Northwestern football, CJ Bacher, 449 yards and four touchdowns. Great win today guys!

College Football Update: Does Anybody Else Have a Bad Feeling in Their Stomach???

Wow, what another great Saturday that the great game of college football has given us.

Unfortunately, it was laced with plenty of upsets. Let's go over the upsets, dating back to last night:
  • South Florida upsets West Virginia- I called that one.
  • Auburn upsets Florida, 20-17- It took a field goal as time expired to win. Nonetheless, still a great win for the Tigers.
  • Illinois defeats Penn State, 27-20- Great win for the Illini.
  • Colorado defeats Oklahoma, 27-24- TAKE THAT BOB STOOPS!!!
  • Maryland upsets Rutgers, 34-24- Ooh a stumble for the Scarlet Knights.
  • Georgia Tech upsets Clemson, 13-3- One Bowden goes down.
  • Florida State upsets Alabama, 21-14, But the other one defeats a Saban.
  • Kansas State destroys Texas, 41-21, Owwww, that didn't look fun. I guess lightning can strike twice.
  • USC prevents upset, defeats Washington, 27-24- USC is safe, for another day.

That's all I have, you guys have a great weekend.

College Football Update: Total Pwnage for Men of Troy

Another great week of college football has come and gone. So many storylines happened today. We could talk about anything at this point.

First, we will do a recap of tonight's events:
  • USC defeated Nebraska, 49-31- It was close early on for both sides and it looked like the Cornhuskers would keep it close. But the Trojans started to pull away for good and on their way to a 2-0 record. USC certainly proved that they are the no.-1 team in the country. The battle in Lincoln great test for the Trojans.
  • Alabama wins a close one over Arkansas, 41-38- Bama quarterback John Parker Wilson threw for 328 yards and four touchdown passes. Arkansas running back Darren McFadden ran for 199 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Boston College defeated Georgia Tech, 24-10- BC quarterback Matt Ryan had a career day, throwing for 435 yards. BC has a chance to run the table in the ACC and maybe make it to the conference title game.

    Now for a quick recap of the rest of the day:
  • Michigan shut out Notre Dame, 38-0- Uhh, no comment.
  • Iowa State defeated Iowa, 15-13- Great game with an exciting finish.
  • Illinois defeated Syracuse, 41-20- HOORAY JUICE!!!!

Well that's all I have

SEE YA

Thursday's: Oh No, Not Again

I'm off to a hot start so far in picking college football games this season. I have won eight games and lost twice. I hope this hot start stays hot.
  1. Michigan over Notre Dame- Somebody's going to win their first game and somebody's going 0-3. Michigan looks like the better team in this game.
  2. Boston College over Georgia Tech- Let this kickass video explain my reasoning.
  3. Florida over Tennessee- Again, video for the reason.
  4. Iowa State over Iowa- TAKE THAT Kirk Ferentz!!!!
  5. Nebraska over USC- No love for the Cornhuskers, that's okay. I'll give them that love.

See ya tomorrow
