• My team Georgia Tech plays Jacksonville State.

Thanks for the plug!

I am looking forward to the Midshipmen of Navy waltzing into the Shoe and leaving Buckeye faithful in shock.

The first game Thursday between South Carolina and North Carolina State was dull. What a way to open the season.

But the next game televised was great. Boise State showed Oregon and the rest of the country that it wants a BCS bowl again. Too bad about the ending, eh? Oregon's LeGerrette Blount showed extremely poor sportsmanship. He should be kicked off the team.

Edit: ESPN took the video down, but I'm sure you could find it somewhere.

I'll watch that later tonight after work. One last thing about the pick em league...my sister, my brother-in-law and my brother are all in this year...so I look to finish about 2nd place.

I blame both players involved in the incident. The smarter thing for the Boise State player would've been to shut his mouth, the smarter thing for Blount to do was not to punch the Boise State player. Instead we get an incident I actually blame both players equally for. The Boise State player KNEW Blount was in a bad mood; if you can't be a good sport or exhibit good sportsmanship, shut your mouth and get off the field. Blount should've kept his cool and left the field ASAP.

Its a incident where both players stupidity showed. If I were the Boise St. Coach, I would suspend the guy who taunted Blount one game for being a idiot.

Now we're subjected to all this BCS Top Ten nonsense for Boise State. Fact is: Not a top ten team. Why? Look at their schedule.

And one more things. GO SAN JOSE STATE...yeah its a long shot...but you never know.




What a douche...

You blame both?

Yes, since flapping off at the gums is an integral part of ANY contact sport, he definitely seserved to get punched in the throat. To blame both of them is weak Kyle. A couple of words should have been exchanged.

Dude talks trash post-game, dude gets punched. I see a correlation.

More like: dude#1 talks trash pre-game, dude#2 makes post-game remark about dude#1's trash talk, dude#1 punches dude#2, then fights teammate, then attacks fans.

It looks to me like Hout said something along the lines of "There's your ass whoopin", in reference to Blount's pregame comment. Should Hout have said anything? No, but the comment itself really wasn't all that harmful. I'd say the blame is more 90% Blount, 10% Hout.

That was a pretty good game. Nice to see a team give Ohio State a fight in the first week. I know my cousin and mom had fun up in D deck at the game. I know my brother had fun being in Script Ohio, as usual.

Unfortunately, I picked OSU to cover...

Came home and saw Penn State got their win over Akron 31-7. I was surrounded by a fury of Ohio State fans.

To start off my season: "WE ARE ----- PENN STATE!"

RUTGERS I have to check up on. Season Opener later this week vs. Cincinnati on ESPN.

I'm surprised how close the Buckeyes and Navy was.

Yeah i know, it wasnt a good sight from what i saw later on in the day.

Lmao, the crying part i was talking about , was the um coach crying during a press confrence after some of his players complaing of them working to hard. Well see guys hard work pays off. I think the ND vs UM game should be a good one.

I actually did not see the game i was out of town , but i saw the highlights later on. I will be down at the game next week with my b/f . If they play like they did yestrday, it wont be pretty. It will be my first time going to a game there, so no matter what , should be a good time.

What about the other good upset and do you think Sam Bradford is done?

3-4 weeks for Bradford.

The top two pick-em leaders this week are Kelly and either my sister or brother-in-law.

Thats a first lol. I usually suck at those things. I wont be there too long lol.

I'm pretty disappointed in RUTGERS hosting Cincinnati on ESPN in front of a national audience, debuting their renovated stadium, and they get blown out 47-15. That upgrade was supposed to be for looking up to greater things. Not liking that. I knew Cincinnati had some bite last year.
