Some Football Stuff

I'll attempt for the first time in a while to write something remotely substantive at some point this weekend.  In the meantime, however: 

This catch is ridiculous.  Absolutely ridiculous.  

How great is it that Oregon State defeated USC yesterday?  Pretty great I think.  If I were a violent person, I'd go out of my way to punch Pete Carol in the face.  His failure is my success.    

Tonight at 8:00 PM: Connecticut at Louisville
What's up with UConn?  Where do they get these kids?  Connecticut High School Football is terrible.  How is UConn slowly becoming a relevant football power, just a few years after entering Division 1A?    

Saturday, September 27:
3:43 PM ET Purdue at Notre Dame NBC 

Yeah.  You might not watch this one but I will.  Will Weis continue to stubbornly attempt running the football?  Or will he embrace the fact that his offensive line is inept and start spraying the ball all over the place?  Probably the former.  

7:00 PM ET No. 24 TCU at No. 2 Oklahoma 

Might as well change that "No. 2" to a "No. 1", provided Oklahoma can take care of business tomorrow night.  Though they haven't really played anyone yet this season, they have won by an average margin of just over 35 points.  

7:45 PM ET No. 8 Alabama at No. 3 Georgia

Marquee teams from THE marquee conference.  This is obviously THE must see game of the college football weekend.  And, since I hate the soulless mercenary Nick Saban, Go Bulldogs.     

  
8:00 PM ET No. 22 Illinois at No. 12 Penn State

Maybe Joe Pa isn't quite done.  Penn State mauled Oregon State 45-14.  Oregon State beat USC on Thursday.  Maybe the Big 10 isn't as bad as the pundits have been punditting.   

Cleveland at Cincinnati 1:00 PM CBS

I'm looking for Brady Quinn to take the helm at some point during this game.  You should look for it too.  If he does, Cleveland will feed off the shakeup and get off the snide.  

Minnesota at Tennessee 1:00 PM FOX

The Vikings have had their shakeup at quarterback.  Provided Adrian Peterson plays, look for Tennessee to come back down to Earth.  It was only a matter of time with Kerri Collins at the helm.    

Denver at Kansas City 1:00 PM CBS

Gimme a break.  Herm Edwards needs to be fired almost as much as Matt Millen did.  Just kidding.  He should be fired though.  I'll take Shanahan in this one.    

San Francisco at New Orleans 1:00 PM FOX

Injury ridden or not, New Orleans.  

Arizona at NY Jets 1:00 PM FOX

Look for AZ to take this one.  

Green Bay at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM FOX 

Green Bay.  

Atlanta at Carolina 1:00 PM FOX 

Atlanta.

Houston at Jacksonville 1:00 PM CBS Tickets

Jacksonville

San Diego at Oakland 4:05 PM CBS Tickets 

San Diego.

Buffalo at St. Louis 4:05 PM CBS Tickets

St. Louis is AWEFUL.

Washington at Dallas 4:15 PM FOX 

Dallas.  Washington will cover though.

Philadelphia at Chicago 8:15 PM NBC 

Philadelphia.  Toughest division in footall:  NFC East.  

MON, SEP 29:

Baltimore at Pittsburgh 8:30 PM ESPN

Baltimore.  Pittsburgh will not score much.  

·Bye: Detroit, Indianapolis, Miami, New England, NY Giants, Seattle
