COLLEGE
- Yes there is room on tha band wagon baby. The South Florida Bulls pulled off yet another upset, like they have each of the last three seasons. However, this was probably their biggest upset in the schools short football history; going on the road into a hostile SEC environment and snagging a victory even with their kicker going 2-6 in the game.
- Speaking of the Bulls and Big East football check the standings the conference is 14-2 right now with Syracuse the only team having a loss. Obiosuly the SEc is the best conference in America and you can argue the Pac-10/Big 12 as the second best but the Big East is making some noise with West Virginia, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida all being legit top 25 teams.
- Next week the 0-2 Wolverines match-up with the 0-2 Fighting Irish and I couldn't be happier. If Michigan gets crushed again can they just go ahead and get rid of Lloyd Carr now, why wait? And speaking of firing coach's are the Golden Domers going to get rid of the white guy as fast as they fired the brother? One other dig on Notre Dame, from my friend Seth Emersons Blog live from the Sanford Stadium press box on Saturday night "It was kind of interesting to see ESPN analyst Bob Davie during halftime watching the Notre Dame-Penn State game. Davie’s face didn’t give away any emotions, but I have to wonder if he was thinking, "That’s two coaches who haven’t gotten it done since they axed me."
- After LSU creamed Mississippi State on opening night some people were hesitant to give the Bayou Bengals credit saying there were some things that they lacked. Well now they invited the Hokies into Death Valley and beat them like a red headed step child. The Tiger defense swarmed the Hokies all night long, making QB Sean Glennon and RB Brandon Ore look like high school players. And their offense was potent while Matt Flynn is beginning to look like a big time quarterback.
- Psssst...........someone tell the Hurricanes they aren't any good. The Sooners put it on them all day long on Saturday and showed they have one of the best defensive teams in the country.
- Don't look now but the Washington Huskies lead by Tyrone Willingham are 2-0 and are looking pretty good. Sophomore QB Jake Locker and the Huskies welcome the Ohio State Buckeyes into town next weekend and it could be a chance to make a statement.
PRO
- Oh Norv, you gave us every chance to have your Chargers to lose at home on opening day, but because of a lucky special teams play you were able to pull it out. I hope I get to watch a lot of the Chargers this season just to see how Norvulous can screw it up, somewhere Pat Phillips is stabbing himself because Norv got another job.
- Congratulations to Brett Favre who tied John Elway for most wins all time by a quarterback, now he just has to catch Marino in yards and touchdowns which should happen this year.
- For anyone who was unsure on how things were going to work out for the Patriots I think they answered those questions. They went into the meadowlands and dismantled a good Jets team. And speaking of the Patriots, in typical Pats fashion some dude named Ellis Hobbs set the record for longest kick return for a touchdown, and I have no idea who he is at all.
- I am going to go ahead and let the Jon Gruden watch officially begin, he is 0-1 and one week closer to being unemployed.
- The NFL bandwagon I am on is the Houston Texans, mostly because of my Matt Schaub man crush. That being said the Texans played a very solid game, though it was against a relatively weak Kansas City Chiefs squad, Schaub looked sharp, the runnign game with Ahman Green & Ron Dayne was effective, and defensive end Mario Williams started the season off with a bang; with 2 sacks and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.
- Other units that looked impressive in week 1; Cotls Offense, Cowboys Offense, Lions Offense, Packers Defense, Panthers Defense, and Chargers Defense.
- Martin reading over your Giants oreview you didn't spend nearly enough time talking about how awful this defense would be, they suck balls!!!

I didn't because I was trying to be positive, but
"Lewis' system was based on the front seven (six) getting pressure to avoid exposing the lack of talent in the backfield."
Since Reese didn't make any significant changes, that policy still seems to hold true.
It's really sad when I want to be mad at Plaxican't or the Smith rookie for dropping passes in the red zone. If they make the catch, maybe we score another TD and stay with them in the track meet.
But you are right, as always.
At least Elisha made good for my fantasy team.
Before we start sucking off the Big Least, let's take a look at the competition. They are drilling such powers as SE Missouri, Duke, Maine, Murray St, Mid Tenn, E.Michigan, Grambling, Buffalo, Navy, Elon, W. Michigan, and Marshall. I will give them Auburn and be nice and give them Oregon State. Auburn is not that good and USF played bitch with them and refused to exchange video. That's no excuse, AU should beat USF on the Plains. But seriously, play some fucking body before we go out and swallow thier load. And the 2 losses, not even competitive. Give them credit, they are 5-0 against 1-AA opponents.

Kid Presentable,
Lets us not forget that the SEC has beaten up this year on such powerhouses as Every directional school in Kentucky, Richmond and Western Carolina.
Don't forget either that over last season and the early part of this season the Big Least is 16-9 versus BCS Conference opponents.
also, keep in mind that even though Navy isnt a bcs school they have been to and represented well in bowls the last few years and are a legitimate team who plays a difficult style. Would love to see a big east/sec challenge, i think the top 4 could play with the top 4 in the SEC
Who said anything about the SEC? But if you want to get into that the SEC has to play the SEC. I would rather have L'Ville, WVU, USF, and Rutgers on my conference slate than Florida, Alabama, LSU, or Arkansas. Yes, they do beat other BCS conference teams, but it is usually the bottom feeders of those conferences. If Navy played all 12 SEC schools they might hang with Vandy.
Buddy Green is the greatest defensive coordinator ever and he wuld find a way to stop Tebow, Mitchell, Ainge, Woodson and Darren McFadden!!!
My fault. I completely forgot about Buddy Green and his run stopping machine at Navy. Forgive me Kris.

check out the top 15 of both polls you will notice there are 3 big east teams and only 2 sec teams. sec has more depth its a 12 team conference, the big east has 5 legit top 30 teams and that is in a 8 team conference. Don't think that either Louisville or WVU couldn't stay with the SEC, ask GA about WVU
If you look at the polls, Florida State was a Top 20 team and Michigan was Top 5, what does that say about the polls? And no, WVU not UofL could play week in and week out with the SEC, they would get worn down. They are very good at the top of the depth charts, but the top SEC schools have starters throughout their three deep rosters. When the Big East can even sniff a National Championship, then we'll start talking about them being a Big Boy football conference.
