The first slate of SEC games is so embarrassing that I am tempted to just skip it. There is more lame shit and gutless behavior »
Game Recaps
South Florida Suffocation
South Florida 30, West Virginia 19
Make no mistake about South Florida’s feelings for West Virginia. Any respect for the Mountaineers disappears once the Bulls step on the football field as domination takes over. Nowhere was it more evident than going for and achieving two fourth down conversions with a game still wide open, both from midfield. It’s an act that [...]
Governor’s Cup Belongs to Wildcats
Kentucky 31, Louisville 27
The sold out Commonwealth venue provided all the glitz and glamour, ups and downs a rivalry game can offer including a bizarre clock issue to end the first half. Louisville and Kentucky matched their 1-0 records in the heart of Thoroughbred Country. Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks silently pieced together a powerful team in the [...]
Hurricanes Rage in ACC Match-up
Miami 33, Georgia Tech 17
Georgia Tech’s battering ram of an offense amassed over 400 yards rushing in last season’s match against Miami. This year it was Miami with the battering ram pounding the iron-like Yellow Jackets into a flimsy sheet of foil. The Hurricane offense seemed virtually unstoppable behind outstanding QB Jacory Harris. The Yellow Jacket team looked tired [...]
EARLY SIGNS OF LIFE – BARELY
UNC at U CONN What started as an uninspired performance by UNC and an error filled first half by U Conn, turned into a good, tight second half battle, as the Tarheels benefited from a late penalty/safety to slip by the Huskies, 12 – 10. T.J. Yates went 23-32-2, with one TD, passing for UNC, [...]
West Virginia 35, East Carolina 20
A Tale of Two Quarterbacks
A box of shells isn’t that expensive. In a state like West Virginia, hell, a box of shells is readily available too. The problem is every West Virginia fan can experience a plethora of much more entertaining events than taking those shells, placing them in the chamber of a .38 special, placing steady aim on [...]
Cincinnati 47, Rutgers 15
Big East Maybe Not So Wide Open
Cincinnati and Rutgers both started the season in a tight spot. With the Big East scrounging for opportunities for promotions, the Bearcats and Scarlet Knights were chose as the whipping boys to represent the Big East in what was to be the equivalent of the Miami – Florida State rivalry on opening weekend. Neither head [...]
BAMA 34 VA TECH 24
RAMMA JAMMA? Maybe later
During the first quarter, hell from the Tide’s first possession, that sound you heard was not a jet breaking the sound barrier, it was 40 million Bama fans saying, ” WTF?” The Wild (take your pick of overworked phrases for that moronic and simple act of snapping to the tailback) worked about as well and [...]
Gators 62, Buccaneers 3
The Florida Gators begin their title defense.
Gainesville – If there were questions surrounding the outcome of this game, they were never about who was going to win it. For Florida, the scheduling of Charleston Southern was driven far more by financial motives than competitive ones – and both programs clearly understood that and both programs benefited. This game was, by design, [...]
