College Football Review
That was some Saturday afternoon/evening in college football yesterday. Here are some thoughts:
Cincinnati 45 Pittsburgh 44:Leave it to Stuttering Dave, an alleged defensive genius, to blow two or three large leads.Jarred Holley should be glad he plays for Stuttering Dave and not Mark Mangino. With the two incredibly stupid penalties he had called on him, Mangino would have had him crawl across I-79 on his hands and knees during rush hour. Give UC credit. Their offensive is as explosive as the burritos at Taco Bell and Brian Kelly proved why he is one of the best coaches in the country yesterday. If he doesn't go to Notre Dame (because he's pro choice), Irish fans will be crying in their beer wishing he had.- ECU 38 Houston 32: Even though Houston had a great and surprising year, ECU hung in and won the grand prize for C-USA, a trip to the Liberty Bowl. Whoo hoo! Houston gets the consolation prize and gets to play in the New Orleans Bowl. But that's how you roll in C-USA, you play hard, have a good season and wind up playing Troy State in a bowl game that six people will watch on ESPN Deportes.. Well, it's still better than Pitt, who in the span of 1:33 seconds went from the Sugar Bowl to the Car Parts or Pizza bowls.
- Alabama 32 Florida 13: Fool Nick Saban once, shame on you, fool him twice...ooops you can't fool him twice. Total domination from start to finish. The game that was supposed to be the game of the century turned into a runaway crimson train. Tim Tebow didn't get to ride into the sunset, he got shot out of the saddle before hitting the boarder. So, the next question for the Tide is will they show up in Pasadena as the 500 pound gorilla they were yesterday or as that team that shanked the Sugar Bowl last year? Based on what we saw of Texas last night, Bevo might be watching this game with his eyes closed.
- Arizona 21 USC 17: You have to wonder if the rose has wilted for Pete Carroll. If he doesn't come up with a monster year next year, people will begin to talk (if they haven't started already.) How does a pre-season top five team wind up in the (gasp) Emerald Bowl? And by the way, as a personal note to Mrs. Mustain: All of your backstabbing and brining down the program at Arkansas under Houston Nutt couldn't help your son at USC. Why? HE SUCKS! If he didn't, he might have led USC to a few wins. Instead, he rotted away on the bench with his entitled thumb up his entitled ass.
- Georgia Tech 39 Clemson 34: Another nail biter, GT wins in the last minute. It looks like GT's faith in the Ol' Johnson was justified.
- Texas 13 Nebraska 12: Nebraska couldn't score if it were in Vegas with Tiger Woods (ba dum bum, be here all week folks, try the veal.) Texas almost blows it by not throwing the ball out of bounds. More proof that Mack Brown teams peak too early. Geeze, if Nebraska could have just got the ball in the end zone once. I don't watch much Big 12 football, but after last night, I wish there were some way the Bears could get Ndamukong Suh. Holy crap! What an absolutely dominant player.
- Wisconsin 51 Hawaii 10. Good for you Wisconsin. For a team supposed to have a down year, you did alright (save for that upset by Northwestern.) Enjoy Tampa.
