Overrated

How does Brady Quinn win the Maxwell award over Troy Smith? He’s got to be one of the more overrated players at the college level. If it wasn’t for SMaragvewadi (the WR/TE guy — sorry I don’t remember ND players), Brady’s numbers would be average at best.

Is this a sign that the Heisman may not be as locked up as the world thought it to be?

No title

I need to be strong.  I want my son to be healthy.  I want him to be here.  That way I feel I can at least do something.  The latest ultrasound showed that his heart was slightly to the right.  It’s functioning normally and although the doctor told Mrs. Xpinionated not to worry, I’m a little sickened.  I just want Devin here.

Sad, Really

What does it take to realize your team sucks?  How about realizing that with 25% of the season left, you can only hope to get to .500?  Upon hearing that your current coach is going to stay, you suddenly start making plans for next season’s Sundays so you can spare yourself the frustration? 

You know your team sucks when people stop talking trash to you

You know your team sucks when you stop talking trash

You know your team sucks when you try to talk trash but can’t help but giggle a little with anything you say

You know your team sucks when you don’t know who they play next….and you don’t care

You know your team sucks when they consistently get between 0 and 1 highlight per Sunday evening episode of ESPN.

You know your team sucks when your coach is more successful in his ‘other endeavours’ than he is in his job!

You know your team sucks when your reply to any criticism revolves around the record breaking performances of Doug Williams and Timmy Smith in the Superbowl umpteen years ago…

Georgia on my mind

The Virginia Tech Hokies have accepted a bid to play the University of Georgia on December 30th in Atlanta at the Chick Fil A (Peach) bowl — it will always be the Peach bowl as far as I’m concerned.

Living in the metro ATL area, I’ve been exposed to my fair share of UGA fans and their football.  Though always obnoxious, I can respect that much more than I can Georgia Tech’s new obnoxiousness, which coincidentally has died down considerably with the real GT showing it’s colors.   For these eight years, I have prophesied on how UGA is a good team, no doubt, but I’m not convinced that they are better than VT.  In fact, I’m sure beer influenced boasts followed at regular intervals, not to mention well timed ‘Yipes’ to mock any UGA barking that may have been previously heard. 

Well, now the time has come.  The Hokies and the Bulldogs.  I didn’t score tickets to the game and I’m not all that upset about that.  After four years of being the only Hokies fan at my local watering hole, it is only right that I watch that game, for better or for worse (and circumstances willing given the expected child), at that bar surrounded by all those Dawgs fans.

Trash Talk?  I do not plan on starting it but I will not turn the other cheek…that’s fo’ sho’.  Now during the game and after the game, only the game can decide (and the amount of liquid courage filling the room) what is said. 

Ben Johnson Speaks — and that’s a bad idea

Ben Johnson, the former sprinter who was stripped of his 9.72 second gold medal in the ‘88 univer-Seoul Circus … uh Olympics has told an Australian newspaper that Carl Lewis set him up.  Blah blah, the funny part of this is the victim toned statement:

“Number one, that day the drugs that they find in my system was not the drugs that I was using,” he said.

Followed by:

“I’m not denying at all that I was taking drugs but that’s the drugs that I was using that they claiming.

And we’re supposed to feel sorry for the guy…..cuz he was sabotaged…poor li’l fella….dumbass.
