ESPN has got to be giving this one some moniker so I’ll join…”Slap yo Wife and Sit Down Sattaday!”
There are quite a few games this weekend for you to veg out on. Strangely missing is the “where’s my gun” hoopla of the Red River Shootout. One you KNOW the four letter was planning since January 9, 2009. That was supposed to be THE game of the regular season. Like one of those fish you win that the Texas State Fair it went belly up in less than a week.
Missing the cut:
4) #22 South Carolina @ #2 Aaaaaaaaalabama- If Stephen Orr Spurrier wants to really stick his legacy to the wall of the stall that is South Cak football he’s gotta win this one. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaalabama is pretty good. Godspeed young Spurrier…Godspeed. (Bama big)
3) #8 Virginia Tech @ #17 Georgia Tech- Just a little lawyer math…Miami lost to Virginia Tech by 24…Georgia Tech lost to Miami by 16…Therefore Virginia Tech will win this game by 40..Minimum. I’m so sure about it that I beg you to go to your local Italian deli, get the guy behind the counter to let you in the backroom, and put everything you own on Va Tech winning by that margin.
2) #6 USC @ #25Notre Dame- I’ve seen several people pick the Irish to win this game. I’m sure they’re basing it on some stupid reasoning like…Matt Barkley is a freshman (never mind that he won at Ohio State)…Stafon Johnson is missing…or just going on a whim…I’m positive it’s not because the Irish haven’t kept this within 20 the last three years. The always cunning Irish have modeled their turf after the third cut at Augusta National which might keep this close for a half.
1) #20 Oklahoma vs. #3 Texas- Had it not been for some Mormons and some Convicts this would be the biggest game in 72,000 years (until ya know…the BCS championship). That’s a fart in the wind now. You still can’t doubt this one, even with two losses Oklahoma is right there in the Big 12 Championship race, and a win here will probably get them another birth to the Big 12 Championship. Texas hasn’t really played anyone and Colt McCoy hasn’t looked too hot…well at least his play.
#8 CINCINNATI AND #21 USF
The Players To Watch:
Cincy: Tony Pike - Slowly the Hesiman hype has started to build for this guy. He’s a pretty good quarterback who has done nothing but win at UC, a place that was once considered a dub-ya on everyone’s schedule. This is the best defense he’ll see to date and they’re going to come after him.
USF: George Selvie- Beastman…The guy preys on opposing QBs, overpowers linemen and shits in the woods. Everything you’d expect a half beast, half man turned football player to do.
The Story:
The only game featuring two undefeated teams this weekend, plus they’re two pretty solid teams. USF is notorious for believing that the season only lasts six games. It has never been more obvious as the pollsters are very cautious about throwing them up too high without seeing them make it to that mark. Cincy is THE BEST TEAM in Ohio* and defending Big East champs and has a great defense that was coming off replacing 10 starters from last year’s team.
Not So Fast My Friend:
USF has played NOBODY thus far. Two I-AA turds? A potential third if you count Western Kentucky, who is winless in their first full season as a full I-A school. There is a sloppy win over Syracuse, thanks to Greg Paulus showing us why he was benched at Duke…and the program changer over a 2-4 FSU team…
The Predicition:
Jim Leavitt will look like Beaker from the Muppets…and…Cincy 21 – USF 14…

Hah! The Big East sucks, this is no Game of the Week.
Notre Dame/USC by far. cbh49er(Quote)
ND/USC isn’t even the second best game…ND loses by 2 scores at least.
ND hasn’t seen a defense yet. GatorTrey(Quote)
We will see about that bud.
Not too excited about a game where the winner probably get’s the right to get their asses handed to them in the Orange Bowl. cbh49er(Quote)
USC hasn’t seen an offense like the Irish’s. Matt Barkley and his 3 TDs don’t scare me. cbh49er(Quote)
ND is gonna finally beat them. just a hunch. sparty(Quote)
Sparty is quietly falling in love with Jimmy Clausen. Welcome sparty. cbh49er(Quote)
how can it be game of the week when i want both teams to lose? sae(Quote)
He’s a true freshman who has played well…They’re not gonna allow him to just throw it everywhere.
I just don’t see ND winning this one…I want them to. They just won’t GatorTrey(Quote)
Irish will play them tough, but USC will squeak by.
I may have to put my foot down to watch this one, which may mean me sleeping on the couch. I’ll be worth it only if SC wins. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I would vote for Wisconsin-Iowa over any Big Least game. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
whoa whoa whoa. let’s not confuse respect for love. sparty(Quote)
I find couches pretty comfortable. I think women seriously overrate that as a punishment. knightwhosaysni(Quote)

does this actually happen? i thought it was just a tv show thing. tv always makes the dad look stupid. i thought it only happened in real life when you are still married but hate one another. or one of you have smelly farts. sparty(Quote)
I usually get banished to the futon downstairs. By the Wii, TV and fireplace. Maybe I should cal it “banished”? HawkEye19(Quote)
My wife had the flu something awful once and I had an exam…so I slept on the couch GatorTrey(Quote)

btw- the coverage of balloon boy just stole all the ratings away from Trey’s game of the week. sparty(Quote)
So some 6 year old is alone in a home made hot air balloon above denver… Johnny(Quote)

I’ll be surprised if they get it down safely to begin with Johnny(Quote)

Me too very tragic if not… GatorTrey(Quote)

My wife snores, so I just use the guest bedroom when I have trouble sleeping. There’s a great bed in there.
If she really is pissed at me, I’ll sleep in the bed with her just to piss her off more. Fiesta Trio(Quote)

it’s odd it reminds me of UP.

Correction: Clearly the game of the week is “Da U” at UCF. I will be perched on the 50 yard line with the future ex-Mrs. Knightro. If the game gets out of hand we may leave early…meaning we may be on the way home at the 4:00 mark of the first quarter. Just hope we keep it respectable and if a miracle happens, Knightro may suffer a stroke at his advanced age. knightro(Quote)
CNN’s on-air personalities (Wolf Blitzer et al) are spinning this thing into a news event of Big D proportions! If you don’t duck you will get wild conjecture all over you! knightro(Quote)
great, now the lawyers will be all over this sae(Quote)
well it’s a good thing the site has one on retainer Johnny(Quote)
Me too!
Who’s the boss in my house:
Me: Hey, I found Ricky’s jersey on the ‘net for less than the other sites!
Spousal Unit: Don’t waste $$ on an Iowa jersey, we are Ohio State fans and fans of Ricky’s, not Iowa!
Me: No kidding, which is why I want to buy Little Guy Ricky’s Iowa jersey and get his name put on it, not some generic Hawkeyes sweatshirt or jersey
Spousal Unit: That is just stupid…he’s only going to be playing for one more year.
Me: You are stupid. Santa will bring Little Guy the jersey early so he can wear it now.
/jen walks out of the room and decides she is still going to get the flippin’ jersey for Little Guy Jen(Quote)

Hmm, which descriptive name shall I use for spencer? I’ll choose one of his own:
He is a cockholster Jen(Quote)
It’s going to be cold and snowy and rainy in Happy Valley for homecoming against Minnesota Johnny(Quote)
but we love spencer, right? trey? sparty(Quote)
i think you forgot to add /crickets to your post Johnny(Quote)
Yes. His anti racist/bigotry message is a welcome addition to us blatant bigots at Sparty and Friends. GatorTrey(Quote)
