CFB Yes MSG Recap

So what did we learn this weekend:

• Bloggers: Now I know why successful bloggers are single guys who live in their mother’s basement.  Having a wife, two kids, and a dog, means that I am up a lot, doing menial chores.  So I have lots of time to think up ideas, but (almost) no time to actually write it.
• Texting: I also learned that with CFB upon us, I need a larger text message package.  I only have 200 a month, but I am not an adolescent girl.  Yet, here we are, 10 days into the billing cycle, and I have sent or received 150 messages, 90% texting with my Pac10 and Big12 correspondents.  Looks like I need rollover texting.

Now on to the Games:

• #1 Florida beat someone: Proved nothing; wait for them to annihilate Tennessee in a few weeks for a slight test
• #2 Texas beat someone: See Florida above
• # 3 Oklahoma loses to BYU: B radford should have taken the NFL’s millions in guaranteed.  Instead, pulling a Leinart, he returned to college (and I can understand why — see below), but injured his throwing shoulder.  Will ahve to see how seroius, but the Big12 South may have just been handed to <vomit> UT.  The Sooners did not look particularly good on offense, and once they lost Bradford to that shoulder injury, well it got worse.  So unless Landry Jones becomes a cross between Greg Landry and Bert Jones, it could be a longer season for the Sooners.
• #4 USC destroyed SJ State, even with the true freshman quarterback; bodes well for the future and bad for the Pac 10.
• #5 Alabama beat #7 Va Tech.  I guess losing Andre Smith, their fat OL, and even their QB from last year, did not matter much.  Doubt it, but perhaps this means a challenge for Florida.
• #6 Ohio State squeeks one out against Navy.  At home.  I now predict that the Big10 sux.  Ohio State will get worked by USC at home next weekend, throwing the conference into a tailspin, with the possible exception of Penn State, who will then get their a&& handed to them whoever represents the Pac10 in the Rose Bowl.

OK, this is getting tiring, so let’s just highlight:

• Notre Dame. They destroyed Nevada — should we just hand them a BCS birth, and Charlie Weis another contract extension now? Hope that RichRod’s Wolverines can pull the upset next week, even if he is a Crying Tool.
• Oklahoma State.  Wow, actually beat Univeristy of Georgia.  I thought they might choke, which is what will make their eventual losses to Oklahoma and Texas more painful.
• LSU cannot be that good if they can only beat 0-12 Washington by a single score.
• Iowa.  Further proved that the Big10 sux as it had to block two field goals to prevent a loss to Div1-aa Northern Iowa.
• Oregon State. Defeated Portland State.  So what.  But supposedly Oregon State is thinking of using Jacquizz Rodgers as a Quarterback.  But as opposed to calling it the WildCat, Andy Staples of SI dubbed it “Wild Beaver.”  Easily the best call of the young season.  Will have to see if surpassed in the next four months.
• Games on Monday.  Yes, I know that Miami plays Florida State, but that game has not mattered in almost 10 years.  And Cincy plays Rutgers in a Big East showdown.  Yawn.  Let me know when a Cincy player punches a horse.
• Cal.  Post removed due to superstition.

The Heisman.  So with all the propaganda about Tebow, McCoy and Bradford, I thought a different take on the Heisman was in order.  Now I know that most of my readers have received many Heismans, but the wrong kind, the kind from the ladies.  So that is the one I will discuss.

(For my international and geek readers, the traditional Heisman trophy is presented to the putative best player in college football.  However, as the statue has a player with his arm extended outward, the “Heisman” is also used to denote when a woman who is being pursued a suitor, figuratively puts her arm straight out, blowing the guy off.  This is a Heisman that you do NOT want to win.)

Anyway, this got Yes MSG to thinking, Tebow, McCoy and Bradford are all athletic, good looking guys, and going to make millions in the NFL.  So they never get the Heisman from the ladies — other than Tebow who is saving himself, and therefore is not even up for the award.  But for arguments’ sake, which competitor would suffer most if he did actually get the Heisman?  Ladies and gentlemen, the tale of the tape:

• Tebow  
• McCoy
• Bradford

Tough call; may have to let the readers’ decide.

 

• Lastly, read Jason Whitlock for a surprisingly funny and offensive take on his broadcasting/writing brethren.

Next week will be busy — NFL and NCAA.  Hope my daughter learns to sleep!
