There are few things in the world more satisfying to me than seeing a Heel suffer (after a sports defeat, of course). To all of my blue-brainwashed friends, I am sorry. Not really. And whether they want to admit it or not, they hate NC State. And I love it! So at high noon on Saturday, November 22nd, this rivalry will be renewed in front of the comatose crowd (except for the RED) in Kenan Stadium. Prediction after the jump, and as always.....GO TO HELL CAROLINA!!
All sorts of of help from the refs. Too many men on the field? Okay, I'll stop. Seriously, though, what the hell? Apparently this infamous zebra, one Penn Wagers (he has a history...), has already been cleared of any wrongdoing for his brutal take down of USC East QB Stephen Garcia, making his first career start no less, in the Cocks showdown with LSU last Saturday in Columbia. Getting cleared by the SEC doesn't necessarily mean much, unfortunately, but even the Old Ball Coach himself has let this thing go, which I guess says a lot.
This is still a head scracher for me, however, not to mention a gut wrencher in terms of laughter. I posit that there are NCAA scholarship linebackers with weaker strafe technique than that displayed by Wagers here. Remarkable. To add insult injury, South Carolina lost 24-17...
So I was in court the other day, on the good side, and one of my colleagues, who happens to be a Mizzou fan, dropped an insane stat bombshell on me: Missouri's offense, through its first five games of the 2008 College Football season, has yet to go 3 and out.
Now, obviously, I found that claim to be a bit suspect. Just sounds a bit too implausible to swallow without at least a couple grains of salt. I didn't let on, of course, "wow, that's kinda crazy", and I had no basis to object, so I decided to investigate matters for myself before passing judgment.
Well, I examined the drive summaries for Missouri's games, and was shocked to find that this claim is, as a matter of fact, true...if you allow for one, minor, caveat. Remarkably, there have been no 3 and outs for Chase Daniel and the Tigers' offense on the year against D-I competition. Given the Tigers' schedule, that would include Illinois, Nevada, Buffalo, and, of course, the hapless Nebraska Cornhuskers. However, Mizzou has also played I-AA (I refuse to call it by the new name) Southeast Missouri State this year, and somehow managed to go 3 and out twice against what we must assume to be a very stout Redhawks defense.
So, as long as you're willing to let a lower class gaffe slide, I'm willing to decree that Missouri's offense having yet to go 3 and out (against D-I competition) this season is truly one of the most ridiculous College Football statistics I've ever seen. Ever. Just how good are these guys? #17 Oklahoma State and #5 Texas, over the next two weeks, may help us find out. I may tune in for no other reason than to simply see when this 3 and out streak ends...
On a brisk Thursday night in which the nation fully expected, and rightfully so, some Trojans to really stick it to a bunch of Beavers, the Beavers pulled a shocker, came hard, and came out on top. Oregon State's improbable 27-20 victory makes it two in a row now over USC in Corvallis, and significantly shakes up the 2008 college football landscape. This was supposed an easy conquest for Southern Cal, but they came out flacid; their confidence, enthusiasm and morale appeared low from the start, and they could just never get it up.
The Trojans' vaunted offense, expected to come into Corvallis and mercilessly penetrate through and score, multiple times, on an inexperienced and previously slayed Beaver defense, was held in check for nearly the entire night. The Trojan defense, commonly considered to be the nation's best, and expected to at least provide a reservoir like protection and containment of any Beaver advances, was gashed, battered, broken and busted wide open by a resilient, grinding Beavers' offense. Trojan fans certainly learned that, despite how good the odds are, the only sure way to ensure you don't get exposed is to simply not step on the playing field at all, but we all know that's not a reasonable alternative.
The only question that remains now is whether the pollsters will actually be able to convince themselves to drop USC to #2. We all know they don't want to. Congratulations, Beavers. I would have paid a pretty penny to be up in that stadium of yours last night, dancing on your field, smelling your majestic Oregon aromas. Maybe some other time. 2010?
Congratulations, Valdosta. Winning this ESPN contest is quite an honor, I suppose. For those of you that don't know, around 50% of my family is from Valdosta, and still down there. I've spent a lot of time 'round dem parts, and still make it down around two times a year. Despite that, and my knowledge of the area's remarkable sports history, I was still rather surprised when I heard they'd beat out places like Boston, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Chapel Hill, Green Bay, and so on to win this whole TitleTown thing. I figure that means that the detached, purely objective observer, as you likely are, is extremely surprised. Well, assuming that's the case, I felt it would be a pretty good time to drop a little Valdosta/Lowndes County knowledge on ya...
Filthy as sin, and 100% Dawg. If this reel is a bit dirty in general, and I posit that it is, then things regress to absolute squalor around the 1:45 mark. Nasty! I just hope that poor kid can walk again one day. More after the jump...
In an expected and loathesome decision today, John Swofford announced that the BCS was in an "unprecedented state of health" and will not adjust its format to the excruciatingly logical "+1" scenario that college football fans from coast to coast have been pining for since the birth of the BCS.
WRIGHTSVILLE, Georgia-- Many people think they know the legendary Herschel Walker, and that's because they've probably met him in person and hung out with him. He's a famous running back who won the 1982 Heisman Trophy.
On freshman Kyle Parker, who is having a really good season with the baseball team: “I’ve watched him practice and I’ve watched him play (baseball). He’s really good looking. If I was a girl, I’d be very interested in him. He wears those tight pants. When you wear loose stuff, you can’t tell the definition of a guy’s body. In baseball, everything’s tight and you can tell he’s very well put together.”
