Sunday Morning Quarterback...(week 9)

Be of good cheer, my friends! Dance around with great joy as you drink your first cup of WalMart Great Value Coffee!

It matters not whether you are a GA Bulldog fan, or an Okie Pokie, or even a Vandy Commode! Sure, your team got thrashed...but join with all us winners in celebration of Oregon's crushin', mashin', maulin', slappin', trouncin' of the Rubbers of USC!

There is very little that can console the true blue homer when their team tallies an L. But, the fact that the highly over-rated, useless, worthless bunch from California got spanked should certainly take the edge off. We're talking a loss of Biblical proportions here, folks!

Take a look at these stats. 613 total yards of offense by the Ducks...almost 400 on the ground!
Heck, the only stat that the Rubbers lead in was Kick Return yards...but then, they had A LOT MORE opportunities, because their defense sucks!

It was a good day. I went to sleep smiling, and woke up smiling. I'm pretty sure this smile is at least semi-permanent (whatever that means).

Folks, this is the time of the season that the really good teams begin to prove it. And, we certainly saw that yesterday. I'll admit great surprise at the performances of Texas, and Florida. They were not out there against chumps...but both played like men among boys.

My beloved LSU Tigers had the week off. The Tulane game has become like a "bye" week. My Tigers only scored 42 points. Tulane did not score, we did yield 26 yards rushing to the mighty Green Tinkle. I'm pretty sure that our poor performance against Tulane was because we were looking past them to next week's showdown with 'Bama. We hate Alabama! This week is their turn to be the object of our hatred...and we will certainly gin up all the hatred we can bear to harbor in our souls.

The cream is definitely rising to the top in College Football now. I guess the only two questions yet to be answered are whether 'Bama & Iowa deserve top-notch status. That question will be answered for 'Bama by this time next week. We may not be sure about Iowa for a couple of weeks.

The Hawkeye's last real test (if you can call any Little 10 game a "test") will come two weeks from now in Columbus against OSU. I mean, they're just the Buckeyes, but they do take pride in their mediocre conference, and I'm sure would love to redeem themselves before the home folks.

It's getting fun now...

And, to wrap it all up:

The fifth-ranked William and Mary Tribe established a school record by allowing -46 rushing yards and junior running back Courtland Marriner rushed for three touchdowns as the Tribe earned a 39-14 victory at Rhode Island on Saturday.

And, "The Rock," of Slippery Rock U. got back on track with a 47-6 win over Lock Haven, snapping a 3 game losing streak. I'll admit to y'all, I'm a pretty good fan of college football...but, I did not know that Lock Haven was that bad. I really didn't.
