Nadal is my homeboy
So I’m typing this as I watch the Nadal vs. Monfils quarter final in the US Open. Good close to a great sports weekend.
I love college football, the start of it is always one of my favorite times of the year. Multiple fan bases have high hopes (most highly unrealistic) but at least it keeps everyone talking.
My thoughts from this weeks college football opening weekend:
The Big East is boring and I will refuse to talk about them until they become relavent.
The ACC should be embarrassed. Seriously you lost twice at home to FCS teams? Your automatic BCS bid should be given to the Mountain West and then you and the Big East can have a pillow fight over who gets the last bid.
Big 10: You guys still look slow. Navy………seriously…….is this 1926 or something? My cell phone says no which means if you want to be taken seriously as a conference your top teams should kill Navy. If said top team lays an egg (hey it happens every once and awhile) then your other teams need to pick up the slack and at least embarrass any school with a direction in front of their name (cough cough Iowa).
Pac 10: Respectable. Washington played LSU tough so the Sarkisian era looks like it could be promising. More will be known next week after USC travels to OSU. The Buckeye faithful better hope OSU was just overlooking the Midshipmen or they will be in for a very long day against USC. Oregon losing to BSU is not a disgrace especially since the game was played on the smurf turf. Blount’s punch however was a disgrace and I do not want to hear anyone say that the Boise player instigated it by talking smack. Blount talked smack in print before the game and I’m sure both players talked smack the entire game to each other. Blount couldnt take it that Boise definitely had the last word and socked a guy as he was getting yelled at by his coach for not being classy. Then to make matters worse he flexes while running away, he must have just finished reading Chapter 1 of “How to fight like a thug” by Carmelo Anthony. Followed by punching his own player and then the really foolish move of taking his helmet off before he attempts to go all Ron Ron on the Boise State faithful.
SEC: Yawn, good job beating up on who you should and kudos to Georgia for playing outside of the south against a national power in a non conference game. Glad those on the message boards now claim Georgia is not a REAL SEC team. Surprise surprise.
What I’ll watch these next few days:
US Open Tennis- Possible Nadal vs Federer rematch and Ouidin are the two stories I care about.
NFL football – Season kicks off Thursday as does the fantasy football season, the BendErOverLikeBigBen’s are looking to get me a repeat as league champ!
