Since I’m spending the day on the couch watching college football, I’ve decided to share in the experience.  Instead of doing a “weekend review” post, I’m going to continually update this post through the day with observations and thoughts on the games I’m watching.
11:40 – Last update.  This Sugar Bowl turned out to be completely [...]

So the coaching carousel has started turning in a big way last week.  A number of lower profile coaches lost their jobs last week, but there were a couple of others who were the subject of much debate due to the nature of the coach or the nature of the program they headed.

With the awesomeness of this college football weekend, I’m a little surprised at myself for how long its taken me to get this post up.  Huge win for FSU, unexpected win for UGA, and USC lost its third game this year.  I think the college football gods are starting to know that I see the end of [...]

This was kind of a crap weekend for football.  There were a number of decent games, but none of them went the way I wanted.
First, the quick and dirty.  How does Oregon take USC behind the woodshed last week and then lose to Stanford, of all people, yesterday?  That’s just embarrassing.
While we’re on the subject [...]

We interrupt our regularly scheduled honeymoon post to bring you some thoughts on the weekend of college football.
I know we’re half-way through the season, but this is the first full day of football that I’ve gotten to watch from Gameday through the games that I wanted to watch.  I think I’m sitting on about eight [...]

I sit here writing this post watching the first college football game of the year, and the world is a better place than it was yesterday.
Though the teams are completely irrelevant, NC State is playing South Carolina and its freaking great. I love pretty much everything about college football. Even the teams I [...]

Obviously, I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been really busy at work lately and haven’t had a ton of time to write for the blog. By the time I get home from work, I spend a couple of hours relaxing and eating and then I go to bed.
Despite my busy-ness, there are [...]

Cris and I were out and about in Missouri doing wedding stuff this Saturday, but I was still able to catch the Florida State game and watch the five minutes of the Texas Tech game that was worth watching.
Couple of thoughts on those games.
Our defense played played really well against Maryland and Everette Brown is a beast.  [...]

This weekend was so bad I can’t give a real review.  This sums up my college football weekend.
Pick’Em was one of my worst records I’ve ever had in the game…ever.
Georgia got destroyed by Florida.  It was embarrassing.
FSU fumbled on GT’s three yard line with 45 seconds to play to seal the win for GT.  We [...]

Serious to the point that the school district where UGA is located has decided to close school for the Friday before the UGA-Florida game. The primary reason is that they can’t keep enough teachers in town to teach school that day.
I remember when I was in grad school there the university always scheduled fall break [...]
