Big Mouth ASU QB, Bobby Frasor, Rich Rodriguez, and week 17 Win or Die Picks

Message to Rudy Carpenter, quarterback of Arizona St: You may want to keep your mouth shut next time you are in a bowl game, unless you can back up the trash you talk. He spouted off all week about how he was not all that impressed with Texas, and they demolished Arizona St, and Carpenter personally, in the Holiday Bowl last night. If you talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk.

The Tar Heels lost guard Bobby Frasor for the season last night with a torn ACL. Frasor is a combo guard that can back up Lawson at the point or Ellington at the shooting guard slot. However, I think the Heels will not miss a single beat with this loss; it will be irrelevant for a team with this much talent that also has Quentin Thomas to bring off the bench in the guard spot.

West Virginia is suing Rich Rodriguez to retrieve the $4 million he rightfully owes them according to the contract he signed. I have seen blogs that say West Virginia is in the wrong and should just let Rodriguez walk. Are you kidding me? The guy signed a contract which had a buyout clause in it, and then did not have the decency to live up to the terms of the contract and the commitment he made to his team and his players. I hope West Virginia gets every cent of that $4 million, and I hope it costs Rodriguez a bunch extra in legal fees.

And as of the win or die, as we are a week away from taking this baby into the playoffs....
