Quick Hokie update.
Six straight wins now. JMU just added it's 3rd loss of the season.
Quick Cal Update
Cal either gets beat like a dog or delivers a beating like Michal Vick. This weekend, Arizona State got the Bad Newz treatment.
Boise St.
The Broncos had the weekend off in preparation for their Tuesday (you read that correctly) home game with La Tech. Because Mizzou upended the not-so-deserving #1 Oklahoma Sooners, the headlines were littered with "Open the Door for Boise" proclamations. I'm officially off the underdog wagon. Give Boise the Fiesta Bowl now and get that nonsense out of the way. As I watch Auburn go back-to-back with Arkansas and LSU (with suddenly dangerous Georgia and always dangerous Alabama still to come)...as I watch Mizzou, coming fresh of a win over #1 have to turn around and go to Nebraska...as I watch Oregon post Boise-like scores all over Pac-10 opponents and have to visit USC next weekend...as I watch Wisconsin beat Ohio State only to have to travel to Iowa (and win)...as I watch any assortment of the key players in the title race I get more and more annoyed with this:
New Mexico State, Toledo, San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, Hawaii, Idaho, Fresno State, Nevada, and Utah State.
That's Boise's remaining slate. Nevada is an okay team but basically on par with, say Vandy in the SEC or Texas Tech in the Big 12, or Illinois in the Big 10. A trap game potential but really not much.
I apologize on behalf of the entire Virginia Tech community for the Hokies allowing this charade to continue by losing in game 1.
Urban Blight
Apparently, A.C. Green means a lot to UGA. Since his return the Dawgs have looked like world-beaters. As they set to come down to my fair city to take on the Gators I see the very real possibility of Urban Meyer and his bungling squad netting a fourth straight loss. (Just to note, the same Mississippi State team that handled the Gators, struggled at home before finally putting away UAB)
Mad Hatter
I did not get to see all of the Auburn LSU game but I can only assume Les Miles did something stupid. He did didn't he? Or did LSU's pathetic backfield finally comeback to haunt it?
SEC West
Don't look - take a quick guess at which place Arkansas is among the SEC West division's six teams? What'd you guess? Wanna know the answer? Fifth. Mindblowing.
Open Letter to the Big East
Dear Big East, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your putridness, best evidenced by the fact that 4-3 Pitt is your league leader, puts the ACC on the back-burner of the "Conferences that Suck Eggs" debate. Love, The ACC
Dear Georgia Tech
You hired Al Groh. What'd you expect?
