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 straight hours of football right now.  Life is almost good.

I say almost good because my teams are kinda suckin right now.  This was the weekend of crushed freakin hope.

Florida State looked ugly through most of the game.  They played really well towards the end of the game and were able to tie it up in the fourth quarter, but that was just to give me hope they could stomp on at the end of the game.   I called it at half-time, too.  I said they were going to play well in the second half and get it close enough to give me hope and then screw it up in the end.

Their defense just isn’t good enough to make us a good team right now.  Its really frustrating because we finally have a decent enough offense to make us a team that can compete.  We give up way too many damn big plays, and while our offense has gotten better, we still shoot ourselves in the foot by fumbling and dropping balls.

Georgia did the exact same thing.  Both LSU and Georgia played pretty crappy through most of the game.  Then they get to the fourth quarter and points start flying around.  We led late and then gave up a huge run for a touchdown.  Simply depressing.

At least one team that someone in this family likes won.  Notre Dame, Cris’ team, was able to pull off a pretty exciting win in overtime over Washington.

As depressing as the games were, it was still great to be able to sit and watch lot of a football during the day.  I love college football.
