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

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.
Grow Up or Get Out

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.
Patriots Take a Giant Step Back

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.

Knee Jerk Reaction By Hokies

Virginia Tech announced today that quarterback Tyrod Taylor won’t redshirt this season just one week after they said Taylor would sit out the season. Beamer went on to state that Taylor will share duties with Sean Glennon at quarterback just days after an embarassing loss to East Carolina. Virginia Tech was ranked in the Top 20 and had ruled EZU in recent matchups yet fell to the Pirates in a stunning 27-22 loss this past weekend. So does Taylor coming out of his redshirt season mean Beamer has given up on Glennon one game into the year? I find the reaction very suspicious to say the least and only time will tell how much the two quarterback will split time. Don’t count the Hokies out yet, but the loss is a big blow to a perennial powerhouse. EZU could exhibit an even bigger upset this coming weekend when they play host to #8 West Virginia in Greenville, NC.
Seriously Cincinnati?

The Cincinnati Bengals announced today they had signed wide receiver Chris Henry just months after they had released him due to numerous off-field issues. Basically Henry went to jail so many times over the last year that even the convict infested Bengals said it was time to cut their ties. It was only a month ago that the media brought the topic up with Marvin Lewis of bringing back Henry and he ruled the possibility out immediately calling it inappropriate. What changed in one month? Why do you want this scumbag back on the team when you have been trying to clean up your image? If I was a Bungle fan I would be very very upset about this acquisition.
Ocho Cinco Could Become Reality

I’m sure you remember when Chad Johnson wore the jesey two years ago with ‘Ocho Cinco’ written across the back of it and was quickly fined by the NFL after the game which ended Johnson’s fun in the interim. Well, Johnson has continuously stated he really wants that on the back of his jersey and has decided to take another route to make this happen. Chad has taken steps to legally change his last name to Ocho Cinco so it can be written out above his #85 jersey with the Cincinnati Bengals. If this does happen it will put the NFL in a pickle to allow him to display the new name on his jersey, but if it is allowed he is set to make a wad of cash from the move. Johnson’s jersey would immediately become one of the most popular purchases with fans and NFL players get a cut of the transaction form these sales. In the end I don’t see this happening for many reasons, but Chad continues to show off his self-promotion skills.
Brett’s a Jet

I know the saga of Brett Favre has been riveting, but I have to admit I’m glad we finally have an ending. We will no longer have to see the ‘Favre’ item located on the ESPN sports ticker every few minutes. I’m sure the Packers suits feel they won the duel because Favre didn’t land anywhere in the NFC and furthermore he ends up with the Jets who in all reality don’t have much of a chance of making the playoffs. You have to think New England, Indy, San Diego and Jacksonville are all locks for the playoffs which only leaves room for two other AFC teams. Those teams would include Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincy, Tennessee, Buffalo, Baltimore and the Jets. Jets fans are thrilled today to have Brett on their team, but don’t let the hype fool you because in the end Favre is only worth two extra wins which isn’t getting you very far this year.
