First Weekend of College Football

I figured I’d give my take on what was good and what was bad on this first weekend of college football.

The top teams anyway…

First off, kudos to Temple for beating Penn State. That school should be cursed back to the stone age, because the cover up with Sandusky, less we forget. Their football team comes first, over…say…the law. There’s no way they didn’t know.’

Ohio State: stop waiting until the second half to do something. This is like when we played kickball against the teachers in middle school. These mofos let us think we were winning, and as kids we’d talk so much shit. Then they’d rally to kick our asses. Because they knew they could do it from the get-go. Sloppy play and a weak schedule will probably back them back into playoffs, but…man, were they underachieving until Virginia Tech’s QB went down. Can’t rely on that.

TCU: You can’t sustain the schedule. They made a run at the end of last year, that by all rights they should’ve been contenders to the playoffs. But your division doesn’t play for the division playoffs, so…well, ya’ tied. Like Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis being nominated for an Oscar in the same movie. You knock each other out. I should watch more of their games. I’m not seeing what other people are seeing. You can’t slip by Minnesota like that.

Alabama: your special teams is going to sink you. Not sure why Saban didn’t lock it up from last year, but it still looks iffy. The win against Wisconsin may seem dominating, but Badgers were missing one of their best (Caputo). Speaking of which…when a guy lines up on the completely wrong side of the line in formation with the opposing team, it’s funny at first, but then…you realize what concussions actually can do to a person.

Baylor: I know you guys are playing with a chip on your shoulder, especially because you weren’t even in talks to be in the playoffs, but…it’s a long season, and begging to be ranked with the big dogs just means you will have a longer fall even if you lose one game. That’s life at the top.

Oregon: Without Mariota, they seem a little…okay. Yeah, they dominated a jabroni SMU team, but they just still seem so listless. I’m so use to seeing them so sleek. Maybe the loss last year re-defined their style of play. Adjustments are always good.
