Hiatus

February 8, 2010 by dfm

Well, great game yesterday. Both quarterbacks were so great – you should check out their numbers. Sure Manning had the pick six but so it goes. He is still the best qb around, gotta tip my hat. The NO kicker isn’t getting enough credit today – he kept them right in it. Too bad that asswipe Shockey got a TD though.

And what about my boy Pierre Thomas from Illinois? He was awesome yesterday and did me proud, after I suffered through a year of horrible football from my favorite teams.

So that puts a cap on our football season for the year. Hats off to everyone for good participation. Also, if you haven’t paid your bets off, please do so – we need to keep the integrity of our little circle of friends.

And with that this space will be occasionally updated. Due to popular demand, we will have Obama Thursday, and I will put up a piece or two if something interesting comes up in the football world. Outside of that, probably nothing major until the draft.

Pitchers and catchers report pretty soon, and March Madness is right around the corner. In July, of course, we have Team RadioShack taking on the EuroFucks in the Tour de France.

So thanks again for a great year, and see you guys on the flip.

I see this today linked on the front page of Drudge.

Hard to say if it will ever make a diffence, but at least the BCS is feeling the heat.

A new thread just so we don’t have to scroll down through a gillion comments to see what is what. I will put one up every now and then to “clear the decks”, so to say. And of course we will have a Soooper Bowl thread. Probably should get some skin in here too.

…until kollej football starts up again.

That sucks, but what will be great will be the great “unwinding” of the UsUC program. Carroll pulled a real fast one there. We knew he was cheating all along.

But seriously, can any program be that dominant for that long without violating the rules? I really don’t think so in this day and age of kfb. Lets look at USC’s schedule for next year.

09/02/10 at Hawai’i Honolulu, Hawaii TBA
09/11/10 vs. Virginia L.A. Coliseum TBA
09/18/10 vs. Minnesota Minneapolis, Minn. TBA
09/25/10 at Washington State Pullman, Wash. TBA
10/02/10 vs. Washington L.A. Coliseum TBA
10/09/10 at Stanford Palo Alto, Calif. TBA
10/16/10 vs. California L.A. Coliseum TBA
10/30/10 vs. Oregon L.A. Coliseum TBA
11/06/10 vs. Arizona State L.A. Coliseum TBA
11/13/10 at Arizona Tucson, Ariz. TBA
11/20/10 at Oregon State Corvallis, Ore. TBA
11/27/10 vs. Notre Dame L.A. Coliseum TBA
12/04/10 at UCLA Rose Bowl TBA

Their outside of the Pac Ten games are pretty weak. Maybe they will get off next year without a horrible season, but the recruits will start heading to other teams. This does nothing but help the rest of the Pac Ten.

I won’t shed one tear if USC goes on suspension or sucks it up out there. Serves them all right. And Pete Carroll gets away with all of it and a gigantic contract to coach the chickens.
