Breaking News! Breaking someone's jaw is now legal in Cali! & other pre-game thoughts
Thought #1 - So apparently breaking someones jaw is not a crime. Tom Cable was officially cleared of any charges related to his "run in" with assistant coach Randy Hanson earlier this year. Apparently the Napa County DA determined that the run in was kind of like two reporters shoving each other to gain a better position in a crowd. Now I get that reporters do that to get the best coverage of a story but what exactly was Cable trying to get to? Was there only one blueberry cake doughnut left? Isn't this always the case with the bully who wears black jeans? You watch them beat up some skinny kid and steal his roll at lunch on steak and gravy Monday and by Wednesday where is he? Right back in the lunch room, pounding those generic gas station cheese and meat sticks and Yahoo, which you know he stole from some other skinny kid. Listen, Randy Hanson's jaw didn't break itself so Napa County, you might want to man up and investigate this a little more before Tom shoves JaMarcus Russel in a locker. Ok, I'm sorry, thats just ridiculous. There is no way we are going to find a locker that big.
Thought #2 - Apparently the south will not be "rising" again. Ole Miss has shortened their fight song in an attempt to discourage it's fans from chanting this, as was their previous tradition. Now I get the political correctness behind this move, but more so I get that former Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale donated 100 million dollars to the school and wants the chant abandoned. Just like Winston Zedamore said in Ghostbusters, "If there's a steady pay check, I'll believe anything you say." Ole Miss, you do what you want, but don't claim it's to make things right, when it's really about getting an extra soft serve machine in the team locker room.
Thought #3 - Is there any way that Boise State and TCU can both lose today so we can leave all the non-BCS conference talk behind us? Its not that I'm anti the smaller schools, I just don't feel like dealing with it. It's kind of like when that absolutely awful kid tries out for the basketball team and the coach really doesn't want to cut him and break his heart, but hopes and prays to God that he doesn't show up the second day of try outs. Thing is you know that kid is showing up everyday, early too, ready to go with his fresh Rawlings ball shoes and matching shorts and sleeveless shirt outfit. The only thing the coach can really do is offer him the position of team manager, as if its not just a dressed up term for water boy. So that's what we can offer you Boise and BYU, positions in the Continental Tire or Music City Bowl. But don't worry, just like with the manager position, we'll dress them up for you, give you a watch, tee-shirt, and maybe even spurge for post game pizza from Ci Cis
Today's Picks with Guest picker Joey Conrad
Joeys winners - Iowa, Mich, Miami, UVA, LSU, Ark, Ariz, Oregon, Texas, TCU, Bama, and the Beavers!!!
Travis' winners - Iowa, Penn St., Miami, Ga Tech, Lsu, Ole Miss, Wash, Texas, TCU, Bama, and USC.
I think Tenn will give Bama a run, but won't have the offensive weapons to compete over the course of the game.
Washington will sneak up on Oregon today and Locker will have a big day.
I hope, I really hope the Miss St. can surprise Florida tonight, especially with them having some defensive starters out. Also hope the Beavers work on USC, but thats more just out of spite.
More later....
