First off, all power to the Boston College Eagles who come back after achieving less than 100 yards of offense last week to beat Wake Forest in OT! I dislike Wake for a few reasons, including that their quarterback is named Riley Skinner, which just seems like a made-up name. As you may recall, I've nursed a long and meaningless grudge against Wake Forest ever since this mean girl threatened to have her boyfriend beat me up after I mocked her school in a Wake Forest bar (who knew? There were Wake Forest bars?). Anyway, proud of the Eagles for bouncing back and I like our 93-year-old quarterback.
In other news, Notre Dame once again had to pull it out in the last freaking second, this time to Purdue (who I should point out lost to both the Oregon Ducks and the Northern Illinois whatever their mascot is). There's nothing worse than leaving your television set for the first time all day at 7 p.m. to go see a movie, thinking the team has the game in hand. And then you discover that they nearly freaking lost! PS I went to see Whip It! And it was freaking awesome.
Tim Tebow was amazing today mostly because after I lost my will to watch him anymore, he proceeded to get jacked by a Kentucky defender, wander around and almost fall down confused, throw up repeatedly as he was being taken into the locker room, and then had to go to the hospital and is staying overnight with a concussion. Man, I guess those "respiratory illness" problems will put you on your back, huh?
And how 'bout those Ducks, eh? I feel like LaMarcus Blount, oh he of the magic sucker punch, is pretty amazed that Oregon is surviving without him. And by surviving I mean knocking the ever living shit out of Cal today, 42-3. I for one am shocked that #6 Bears are unable to even score a touchdown against the Ducks. Though to be fair, their uniforms were pretty ridiculously awesome today. Check these throwback helmets!
Was also impressed by Arizona State today, even if they did lose in the last second to Georgia. Who knew the Sun Devils had it in them? And also I'm really curious about Cincinnati. I guess I rarely hear of a school that is named after a city instead of a state doing well. But now here is Cincinnati and Houston (who beat Texas Tech and are looking like they might be for real).
Favorite fact learned today: when Illinois and (The) Ohio State University play against one another, they play for the Illibuck Trophy, which is a wooden turtle. Interestingly, they used to play for a REAL TURTLE. Fact.
Finally, let me say it did my heart good to see Miami get it beat up on by Virginia Tech. That was fun. It reminded me how much joy I take when I see Miami lose. I take back everything I said that was positive about the Canes. They are the worst.
AND Penn State loses on the day they have their little WHITE OUT, and Florida State loses to freaking South Florida? Man. It's all just too much.
But I think I have to leave you all with this: right now I'm watching ESPN and they are literally doing a courtroom bit where Rece Davis is wearing a judge's robe, Lou Holtz and Mark May are arguing which non-BCS team is best. It makes me sad for them. Do they think no one is watching?
