Lou Holtz Has Officially Lost His Marbles

August 25, 2009 by

Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz has made his prediction of who will make the BCS Championship game this year and it has turned some heads to say the least. The deranged ESPN analyst informed the Los Angeles Times the Florida Gators will face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the title game. While selecting the Gators is going out on a limb about as far as predicting the sun will come up tomorrow the Irish prediction seems to be a maniacal bias more than anything else. Holtz has been so far up the Notre Dame football program’s a$$ in recent years he now has a permanent residence. We all understand Notre Dame has one of the most favorable schedules in the last few years for an Irish squad, but Aloha Bowl (which they didn’t deserve to make, but did because they are Notre Dame) to BCS title game in one year? In a separate prediction Holtz stated Elvis would sing the national anthem during the Navy/Notre Dame clash on November 7th. Have another sip of granny’s cough medicine Lou!

Beasley Turns to Rehab

August 24, 2009 by

Michael Beasley the former number-two pick of the 2008 NBA draft by the Miami Heat has committed himself to a rehabilitation hospital. The former superstar from Kansas State was reportedly encouraged to go to rehab by representatives from the Heat due to possible psychological and substance issues. Beasley is supposed to spend some time with John Lucas a former NBA coach and player who has helped many people through substance abuse issues. This doesn’t come with much surprise after Beasley left alarming tweets recently on Twitter like, “Feelin like it’s not worth livin!!!!!!! I’m done,” and “Y do I feel like the whole world is against me…I can’t win for losin.” Beasley had a good first year with Miami after averaging almost 14 points and over 5 boards a game. Let’s hope this story turns out with a happy ending.

NFL’s Bender Buster

August 21, 2009 by

The National Football League is implementing plans in order to keep the amount of alcohol consumed down this year in stadiums versus previous years. The NFL is recommending that every stadium implement a 3½ hour limit on tailgating the day of games and the need to add additional security to improve the monitoring of the parking lots on game day. They would also like to see steps taken once fans enter the stadium around the amount of alcohol someone can purchase at any given time. Restricting fans to no more than two 1½-ounce servings of liquor, two 6-ounce servings of wine or two 20-ounce beers each point of sale would go a long ways in the opinion of Milt Ahlerich the league’s senior vice president of security. It was noted that last year you could buy 24 or 28 ounce beers at certain stadiums or you could buy as many as you could hold at a given time. This generally leads to bad experiences for some of the fans when you have cursing, puking, fighting and other drunk related issues occurring. The League is also going to post the message “Fans don’t let fans drive drunk” on almost every beer cup sold this season at the games. While I’m all for having fun at a game I think the steps the NFL is taking are very smart. How many times have you seen a three hundred pound shirtless redneck with a back hairier than a Sasquatch cussing at the opposting team while he is pouring half his Budweiser on the kid in front of him? I know these new rules won’t end the issues totally, but it should slow down rip roaring drunk guy just a bit.

Ocho Kicko

August 21, 2009 by

The Bengals were on the road last night and their All Pro kicker Shayne Graham tweaks his groin so as a precaution they sit him the rest of the game without another kicker on the roster. What would you do if you were head coach Marvin Lewis in that position? Well, you would ask Chad Ochocinco to kick the extra point, DUH. Check out this video of Chad booting the extra point through the uprights in an impressive manner and ultimately winning the game for the Bungles against the Patriots. He also kicked off to begin the second half and came very close to the 10-yard line. I got a strong feeling we will hear some chatter from Ocho on this latest feat.

Poor Charleston Southern

August 19, 2009 by

Danny Sheridan of USA Today has made Charleston Southern a 73-POINT underdog against the mighty Florida Gators in the first week of the pending college football season. The staggering line is believed to be the biggest point spread in college football history. Vegas doesn’t normally post lines for FBS (1-A) versus FCS (1-AA) schools because the teams just aren’t on level playing fields. FBS schools are able to keep 85 players on scholarship while FCS teams are only able to have 63 scholarship players. Yet it is a common theme for FBS teams to include one of these games on their schedule so they can embarrass the weaker teams.

Since the NCAA created the separate divisions a little over 30 years ago there have only been five FBS that haven’t played a FCS opponent. These reputable teams are UCLA, USC, Washington, Notre Dame and Michigan State. That being Michigan State will no longer be on this list after the first week of this season after their home game against Montana State. I can only hope the other four hold strong because I respect them and others should as well.

Florida is the king of scheduling early creampuff games and shows no shame in doing so because they aren’t penalized in the end. Not only do they schedule early creampuffs they cater their entire nonconference schedule to their favor in egregious fashion. The Gators haven’t played an out-of-state regular season nonconference game since 1991 and it has even been longer since they last played a regular season game west of the Mississippi considering they haven’t done so since 1983. Charleston Southern, Florida International, Citadel, Florida Atlantic, Western Kentucky, Western Carolina, Middle Tennessee State, Eastern Michigan and Florida A&M are some recent examples of the cupcake competitors the Gators chose to chomp.

In the end this is the state of college football and I’m not going to lose sleep over it because it isn’t going to change. Now, on to more in important things and something we can control. Who is going to take the Charleston Southern Buccaneers +73?
