Little bit of a shorter review this weekend. Florida State didn’t play this weekend, they have a game Thursday night against NC State and I wasn’t able to watch all of the Georgia game because I went to the the US Men’s national team game against Cuba.
What a freakin weekend of football. Let’s just jump in.
Um, Michigan lost to Toledo…
Michigan lost to Toledo…
Michigan lost to Toledo? Oh how the mighty have fallen. I bet there are some WV fans dieing from laughter right now. I really hope that Rich Rodriguez can do something respectable with that program next year, otherwise he’s in some serious trouble.
Why did they feel the need to change the name to the “Red River Rivalry” from the “Red River Shoot-out?” Somebody please give me a good, reasonable explanation so I can stop being annoyed by it.
Oklahoma-Texas was a pretty entertaining game, but the reffing was definitely dodgy, and I’m wondering if the replay guy was drinking during the game. I think the call on OU’s first touchdown should have at least been reviewed. I think the call saying the defensive back for OU didn’t catch the interception in the endzone was a terrible call, and the replay guy is lost if he thinks he was losing control as he was going down. If you can’t look at the replay and see clearly that the DB had possession until he hit the ground, you shouldn’t be in the replay booth. I also think OU’s kicker has been taking acting lessons or has been playing soccer with Latin American soccer teams.
In the end none, of the crappy reffing mattered b/c I think it was clear that Texas was the better team. OU was pretty good on offense to start the game, but they just couldn’t keep up with Texas. OU losing their starting middle linebacker was an obvious huge loss for them because Texas exploited that hole for the rest of the game and was able to move down the field pretty easily.
I didn’t get to watch much more than that. Georgia started out strong and did enough to come away from the game with a win. This was a weekend of pretty evenly matched games that where the team I expected to win did not. Missouri lost, LSU got killed by Florida, and Vanderbilt lost to Mississippi State.
Now we just look forward to Thursday and NC State and hope that FSU doesn’t get caught in this perfect example of a trap game.
