College Football Notes

1) Georgia vs. Mississippi State: Conditions worsened during the game, and I never once felt like the game was in doubt. Shockley was really good the whole game, but truly exceptional before the rains came. The TD to Ware was really fantastic. Red zone issues are the rage, but this isn't anything new. 2 weeks to get healthy and prepare a gameplan that forces Ainge/Clausen into making mistakes. The good news is that UT plays twice before our game, so there's lots of material to delve into.

2) Minnesota is not good and any talk of them challenging for the Big 10 title is premature. Maroney is good, no doubt. But there is no reason that that school isn't better at football. It's the only D. 1-A program in a pretty big state. I guess they need a stadium all their own, but still. Watching that game made me pretty thankful Glen Mason stayed at Kansas. He never would've made it at UGA.

3) Penn State isn't any good either. I stand by my earlier thought. Also, watching a game called by Pam Ward is akin to having your testicles flattened into a tortilla-thin... err tortilla by Fat Joe, then having that tortilla serve as the wrap to a shit burrito force fed to you.

4) Louisville never should've been in the national title picture anyway.

5) UK-Florida: Looks like Meyer didn't run into that first-road-SEC-game trouble. I like the way Meyer put his starters back in after the successful onside kick, only to see Leak sacked immediately. I figure every Florida fan's thoughts went like this: First, a) Yeah, show these muhfuggers who's boss. That'll learn 'em to think they can come back. Then, b) if Leak gets hurt because of spite in a blowout like this, I'll be furious. and finally c) Aww shit, we aren't covering are we... Spurrier always covered. Damn.

6) Virginia Tech is good, but I bet a lot of their fans wish they'd saved some of that special teams karma for Miami or their bowl game.

7) LSU-Tennessee moved to Monday is pretty good for those fans who would've missed most of it because of the Georgia game. I like Tennessee to win, for some reason. But I don't really know why, and it's a similar feeling to my instinct before the Florida-UT game. So don't listen to me.
