Suprise, surprise! USC is number 1 in the BCS’ first poll of the season. The bigger question was going to be who would be number 2. Well, Longhorns, your coach doesn’t have to start campaigning yet as Texas is comfortably in at number 2, followed by Virginia Tech, Georgia and Alabama.
Assuming the critics are correct and Gator fans do where jean shorts at an alarming rate, a rate not matched by fans of other major college programs, will sales of these beauties take a hit following the offensive struggles of the once mighty Florida Gators?
Does Shelley Meyer still support the spread option by donning these classic jorts in public?
Louisville is 0-2 in conference, with losses to USF and West Virginia already. Tommy Tuberville, send your agent flowers.
Michael McCarthy makes a couple of enlightening points in his media watch column in USA TODAY:
1. NBC, after botching quality television all day on Saturday, let the afterglow of a stunning game linger for all of four minutes on Saturday before switching to their abominable coverage of NASCAR. No one keeps THE MR. Benny Parsons waiting–no one!
2. Neither announcer bothered to ask the question “Was Reggie Bush’s shove legal?” Bush admittedly shoved Leinart “as hard as he could;” no one’s bothered to ask if the rule book allows that. But never mind us, we’re not the exorbitantly paid “Voices of America’s Team.” Cue thousands of Notre Dame fans climbing into the alternate reality machine…
Stranko’s Edits***… Did USC win by cheating? You bet they did. Check out page 117 of the rules. That game winning touchdown should have been a game ending 5 yard penalty. Had they rules been followed, USC loses. Had USC lost, clearly they are no longer number 1. I am curious to see what blog pollers do with the fact that USC won only because of a blown call.
Bush seen here “cheating” to earn USC another victory.
While watching the debacle of the UF/LSU game, we also watched USC continue their pact with the devil by beating Notre Dame despite getting outplayed for most of the game by a bunch of guys recruited by–gulp!–Ty Willingham. Were it not for a single missed tackle and the goofiest, least athletic qb sneak we’ve ever seen, Notre Dame would have had the ultimate scalp for 2005. (Leinart truly did resemble a ballroom dancing fool, attempting to pirouette across the line like John O’Hurley in the middle of a particularly passionate flamenco routine.)
Leinart’s been taking notes, judging by his qb sneak Saturday.
As it stands, USC will win out and likely face Texas in the Rose Bowl, winning their third national title and turning pro coach pumpkin Pete Carroll into a pedigreed collegiate coaching genius. Pete will, along with every team member on all three teams, live a long, prosperous life filled with strange successes until George Burns shows up in sunglasses and a red smoking jacket to claim their souls one by one.
We’ve seen worse things than this year’s model of the Urban Meyer offense—really, we have.
–Will McLemore getting kicked in the nuts in sixth grade. The worst ball-smashing ever: Will, standing unawares in group of kids, caught flush in the nuts by one his “friends” with the kind of kick that you could feel in your soft palate. The kid in question—we don’t remember his name, only his high-top Converse disappearing laces deep into Will’s crotch—got so into the kick that we swear his back leg came off the ground like David Beckham’s on a free kick. If he’d died on the spot we wouldn’t have been surprised—which he didn’t do. Indeed, he went on to Yale, which established a kind of equation for us in our minds: kids who get kicked in the nuts = future Ivy Leaguers.
–The Scarlet Letter in the theater.
–Reggie Brown getting three years knocked off his life by Auburn safety Junior Rosegreen in last year’s Auburn/UGA game, a hit known on this site as “The Cruciatus Curse.”
–Jeff Feagles, former Seattle punter, kicking a ball directly over his head while giving himself a severe groin pull in the process.
–That old Trials of Life video where a killer orca plays toss with a dead baby seal.
–Ben Folds in concert.
Given those, the Meyer offense has to rank just under these in terms of pain inflicted per second. They’re bad. Satan bad; Ashlee Simpson at the Orange Bowl bad; Ebola bad. Brace yourself: KENTUCKY BAD. While the ghosts of Notre Dame heroes past were circling the light towers in South Bend, but less-welcome ghouls visited Gator fans on Saturday: Hal Mumme, Dennis Franchione, Tommy Bowden.
How bad? That bad.
Florida got 5 turnovers off an LSU team that looked like it was trying to run with their hands stapled to the bottom of their feet and lost. (more…)
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
