Going Bowling

  • Reggie Ball, the quarterback for Georgia Tech, is one of those guys who has not progressed like you would have expected him to. He is not much better today than he was as a Freshman. He will aggravate you even more because he shows flashes of what could be...
  • Everybody seems ready to make the 2006 Heisman trophy a two man battle between Vince Young and Brady Quinn (if they both come back to school). I am telling you right now tat the guy to beat, if he stays healthy, is Adrian Peterson. The guy is just awesome, with speed to go the distance and power to run over you. He was hurt most of this year, but he will be tough to stop next year, especially if Rhett Bomar continues to progress as a QB so that defenses will not have the luxury of stacking the box with 8 or 9 guys.
  • Another quarterback who has been a huge disappointment despite good stats is Brad Smith. There is a guy who is in my opinion worse than he was a couple years ago, but everyone raves about him because of empty stats.
  • The Northwestern placekicker should not be allowed on the team plane back to Evanston. How can a kicker miss two extra points, a field goal, and be so bad that the team goes for it on fourth and goal from the 5 because their kicker stinks so much. All in the first half!
  • Speaking of bowling, did you see the guy who rolled a perfect game and then dropped dead minutes later? How come this did not happen to Kurt Warner after the 1999 season?
  • Having nothing to do with Bowl Games: If you need a movie to watch, and you like movies featuring heavy dialog, and you like Ed Burns, give Sidewalks of New York a whirl. And on the movie front Wedding Crashers comes out on DVD next week!!!
  • In case anyone was wondering, I was not able to retrieve any of the songs on my iPod. And what happened to Johnny Greer? Surely somebody out there can answer this question.

has anyone noticed how these "genius" coaches make stupid moves trying to show how smart they are?
1. Oregon, down 10 in 4th, fakes a 27 yard FG. They got bailed out with a PI flag, but that is a terrible decision.

2. Florida, up 10, fakes a punt from their own 15 with 4:00 left. Are you kidding me?

3. Parcells, I mean Weis, goes for a 4th and 2 in the first quarter of a 7-7 game instead of taking a sure 3.

Have you also noticed how many times Musburger praises the coaches name when something good happens but never assigns blame when things don't?

The worst call I have ever seen was the off-sides called on Iowa on a perfectly excuted on-sides kick. The ref who threw that flag has his picture in the dictionary next to Joe Pesci's CASINO line of "crooked f$@%*in' zebras"
