Weekend Warriors
A pleasure to be here gentlemen and sports fans. Wanted to share some insight from the weekend that was, and the weekend to come. Lost in shuffle was some good golf in San Fran. John Daly certainly made a push for a spot on the Ryder Cup team but also might have given us a glimpse into the crystal ball when he started getting the yips on the back 9 at Harding Park. I haven't seen pulls like that since a quota pts tournament off Cretin and Marshall. Even with his silly goatee, young Eldrick T. was looking quite legit, battling a cold flat stick himself and still burying Serg and Manteets, and JD the Hooters rep. Best sign of the tourney? Tiger being upset that Daly missed the three footer to lose. That's a sign that he's comfortable with his game and ready for a big '06 season.
the big ten
Do you deserve capital letters when the conference plays like this? Ohio State? Michigan? Iowa Purdue? Get serious. Penn State is waiting to crack and Minnesota and Wisconsin already showed us the fatal flaws in their cinderella hopes. If you think Penn State is going to run through the rest of these teams with a jugs machine as their QB, I wouldn't hold your breath. (Unless you're Paul Walker from Into the Blue, which sets a new record for movie scene where guy can hold his breath so long that it's ridiculous. Play along in the movie. Or don't, because Broadway's the only one willing to do mouth to mouth.)
Confessions of a compulsive gambler
I don't think the weekend could've gone any worse. If I were a betting man, these were the games I would've liked. Nebraska over Texas Tech, Oklahoma to keep it close, UCLA to fold per usual, ASU to rattle Oregon's cages, Wisco to stomp on those little uppity prepsters in Evanston, and The Ohio State University to thump JoPa and his nittany lions.
Whoops.
Sidenote: If you're JoPa, what proves you are more out of touch? 1) Wearing that stupid towel around your neck. I thought he got in a car accident on the way to the game in his 1987 Lincoln Town Car and had a sore neck. 2) Doing that stupid dance at the pep rally and proving that you should be at the nursing home in the Notebook reading to some broad who won't remember the story anyway or 3) Telling all the recruits scheduled for visits to not come that weekend, because he wouldn't be able to show them enough attention. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That was the best weekend of football Penn State had in the last ten years. And you don't want kids there because you can't take them to all you can eat at Old Country buffet? Get a clue? What's next, you're going to invite them to the early mass on Sunday and to watch Carson reruns on Friday night? JoPa, you and John Gagliardi should get together and drink warm tea on a swing for the next couple autumns, your best days are behind you. And Tressel, maybe you should lose the 1950s school teacher look and just keep playing kids who admit to taking $500 bucks from boosters. A snake is a snake is a snake, even if he looks like a nerd.
The Upcoming Weekend
I hope the Wisco secondary takes a look at film this week and realizes the truth: They f-ing sucked. Nothing burns my buns worse than watching poor defensive play, and the game plan put together by Barry, Brett, and possibly Bucky couldn't have possibly been that bad. The website is already started for www.play37.com. That being said, what makes a secondary look better than Bryan Cupito with 2 sprained shoulders? Cupito has a better chance of blowing Maroney than the Badger secondary. And I got a feeling he's already giving Lawrence a little something after his crappy arm is forcing nine men in the box.
Is it me or is everyone a little too eager to jump onto the ND bandwagon? Is it really an upset if 58% of America is picking ND over USC? Maybe what bothers me is that everyone is saying it's going to happen, but it could be that everyone wants to be bold, even if they won't be right. The real sign of what people believe will be the spread's movement, which opened this morning at 11.5 and has yet to move....
Thought of the Day: Did Matt Leinart sleep with Jessica Simpson? If not, could he? If so, was that a potential sticking point for Nick Lachey and force him into the eyes of a 19 year old Ohio State student while in town filming Gameday? I'll get the answers this Saturday when Lachey is in town for Leinart's football game vs. the Irish.
