College Football Questions: Rivalry Week

College Football Questions – A different look at college football

College football’s greatest blessing has finally arrived – Rivalry Week. One of the most unique things about the sport are the rivals. Sure other sports have rivalry games: The Jets vs the Pats, Redsocks vs Yankees, the Lakers vs old age, and some soccer team in England vs some other soccer team. College football doesn’t just have rivalry games though, college football has RIVALS. You’ll never see so many fans root for a team they have nothing to do with just because they are playing their rivals. Just ask any Alabama fan what size their Florida State shirt was last year. But now that they greatest week is here, let’s ask some questions.

• As the season is now coming to a close, coaches are jumping aboard the carousel. One of the first to clear out his office is Will Muschamp from Florida. The question begins-who will be the next coach at Florida? I say hire the one and only Jameis Winston. He’s the only person we’ve seen that has been able to pull Florida State down in the polls.
• Have you seen logo and trophy for the “Palmetto Bowl”? Neither has anyone else, as the schools have decided to give the rivalry a name, but haven’t gotten to the rest.
• We knew Oregon was fast, but come on, 80 in a 55? That’s a little too fast even for Mariota. In case you missed the story, Oregon’s Heisman contender QB got a speeding ticket in none other than LANE county. I find it a little prophetic.

• Speaking of coaches pacing the sidelines, let’s take a closer look at these guys and ask who would win in a coaching face-off?

It just always looks like someone shoved Chris Christie in an Adidas polo and put him on the sidelines. You won’t catch Urban not prepared for a windstorm. You can catch him off-guard grabbing a slice of pizza or with an Alabama defense, but when it comes to breaking wind, he’s got that covered.

Dabo seems like a nice guy but khakis and sweatshirts is a look that kinda belongs to soccer moms. Meanwhile Spurrier looks like he’s thinking about tomorrow’s tee time.

The Egg Bowl has never been bigger than this year and the nation will watch to see who will lay the biggest egg. Mullen always looks level-headed while Hugh looks like a possum in over his head.

It doesn’t really matter what Will Muschamp looks like because he won’t be there any longer. Jimbo used to look like a guy anyone would love to play for but that’s changed because of who he has playing for him.

The Iron Bowl has always been a big game between two outstanding programs and name-brand coaches. This year’s game is no different. While Nick Saban looks like the living legend, Gus sort of looks like a math teacher who idolizes Mike Ditka. “Let’s go mathletes!”

As always let’s enjoy the games and be glad we’re watching where none of the players and coaches can hear us.
