As you know we called the UNC/Rutgers game last night, but we couldn’t have predicted the Tarholes would thump Rutgers that bad. In the end Rutgers was left embarrassed on National TV after losing 44-12 to North Carolina. I wonder if Schiano is still happy with his decision to stay on as coach for the University of New Jersey rather than going to Miami or Michigan? Any who, check out this video clip of how a Rutgers fan felt about being on a ESPN camera after a Mike Teel interception. Classy!
NCAA Football Bet of the Day – September 11th

Take UNC and +6 tonight at Rutgers. I know UNC struggled at home against McNeese State a couple of weeks ago plus the ACC stinks, but I’m just not feeling Rutgers tonight.

Sylvester Set to Receive Statue in South Bend
September 11, 2008 by
Lou “Sylvester” Holtz will be in South Bend this Saturday for Notre Dame’s game against the Michigan Wolverines. Lou is being honored with a statue in honor of the National Championship he led the Irish to win 20 years ago. The team went 12-0 by kicking off the season with a 19-17 victory over #9 Michigan, slipping by #1 Miami 31-30, whooping #2 USC 27-10 and then capturing the title with a 34-21 win over Major Harris and #3 West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl. I don’t blame Notre Dame for throwing a party to remember the ’88 National Title because it will probably be the last one they win until 2088.
Pure Random Thought of the Day

I’m watching the Devil Rays play the Red Sox in the bottom of the 7th in a 1-1 tie with Tampa Bay 1 1/2 games up in the AL East and all I can think about is how much Peter Gammons reminds me of a Fraggle. Am I Wrong?
VS.

Grow Up or Get Out
September 10, 2008 by
News about Vince Young has been flying out of Nashville hot and heavy over the last few days and it hasn’t been pretty. Vince was begged by his teammates to get back into the huddle during their game against Jacksonville this past Sunday. Head coach Jeff Fisher called the cops Monday evening over concern of Young’s mental health after Vince couldn’t be located when he left his house without his cell phone. Young’s mother said he is “hurting inside and out” and she doesn’t know if he wants to play football anymore because of the recent booing he has received from the fans. Finally, there has been more confirmation that rumors about Vince Young wanting to retire after his first year in the NFL are true. All I have to say is grow the f#$k up! You are playing a manly sport and getting paid tons of cash to do so and if you can’t handle the fans getting on you then you should get out. Hopefully, over the next 2-4 weeks you will be able to reflect on what you would be losing while your sprained knee heels, but if you still even remotely feel this way then hit the road. Jeff Fisher is one of the best coaches in the league and right how he has your back, but if you can’t stand up and sack up then do us all a favor and quit for good.

Fed is Back
September 8, 2008 by
Roger Federer has had a difficult year to date based on the lofty expectations he and all tennis fans have come to anticipate over the last few years, but that all changed today. After losing in the semifinals at the Aussie Open and in the finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year he changed thingstoday by destroying Andy Murray in straight sets to win his fifth US Open in a row. This is Federer’s 13th major title and he is now only one behind all-time leader Pete Sampras. Nadal, Murray and Djokovic will be in Roger’s way next year, but I think when it’s all said and done he will make history and break the record in ’09.
Patriots Take a Giant Step Back
September 8, 2008 by
New England’s worst kept secret is now official because it has been confirmed that Tom Brady will be out for the entire ’09 season. Brady took a huge hit to his knee early in the game yesterday against Kansas City and never returned due to what we think is an ACL injury. I say we think because Belichick refuses to say today what the actual injury was that Brady sustained. Belichick is the king of playing cat and mouse games and after such a monumental loss like Brady I expect him to take his games to a whole new level. This New England Patriots are very old and now without questionably the best player in the NFL they could be in for a long season. Let’s face it they barely beat the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday in Foxboro with a 17-10 victory and the Chiefs are supposed to be a basement team this year. Only time will tell, but I foresee the Patriots not winning their division and possibly missing the playoffs.
