College Football Questions: Week Six

College Football Questions – A different look at college football

College football finally has more than one or two great games to watch this weekend. What’s not surprising is that these all take place in the SEC. The state of Mississippi is making headlines across the nation, and this time it’s not for their high rates of  illiteracy, obesity, or poverty. Here’s a few questions:

• A Notre Dame player, KeiVarae Russell, who got himself into trouble took to social media and called the school “ridiculous.” Has anyone else seen Lou Holtz’s response to the incident?

• Since when have grocery store’s become the place of controversy for those involved in college football? First Winston’s crab legs and now a Cincinnati athletic official allegedly exposed himself to adults in a Krogers.  To combat this sweeping trend, here’s a new uniform for the practice squads-

No more grocery stores

• Some great SEC match-ups happen today and some of the best coaches in the country are facing off. Let’s get a quick look at those faces-

It’s okay Hugh . . I mean you still have a cool mascot

Brother against brother! Not only does Chris Kiffin coach at Ole Miss, he also exists! (Let’s be honest, no one has heard of this guy until now.)

The Battle of the Burgundy

Tiger vs Tiger. Cap vs Visor. Pullover vs Sweater Vest. Awkward Clap vs “BOOM!”

“Fiery” is an understatement

As always, let’s enjoy the games and be glad we’re watching where the players and coaches can’t hear us.

College Football Questions: Bowl Edition

Well the season is finally wrapping up and all we’re left with is the hope that we’ll catch a few great games. The good news is that with 30 games the odds are in our favor. Friday night’s Tiger thriller in Atlanta proved to be the best so far. But while some teams are already going home empty handed, others are still warming up and here’s a few thoughts along the way.

• Do people read the names of these things before they create the bowls? How about the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl? There are three nouns in that title before you even get to the bowl. (There’s a link in case anyone forgot about the parts of speech)
• Vanderbilt has nine wins. Vanderbilt. Even if the world didn’t end on 12/21/12, it can be that far off.
• If this is what they got for winning, what would have happened if they lost?
• If Aaron Murray still has trouble sleeping, does anyone think Quinton Dial would be willing to help?
  

  I think that hit would keep anyone awake at night.

• Who will win the battle between these two great coaches? So far Saban is in the lead.
  

  Track Suit < Suit

• Who will be the most random announcer/analyst to make an appearance in the television booths during bowl games? Tuberville jumped in front of the camera for a team he’ll soon be coaching.
• Why are fans upset about the low caliber match-up in this year’s Orange Bowl? It’s the Orange Bowl. It’s always been awful.
• For a third year in a row, Pitt will be making the trip to Birmingham to play in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Do you think they ever thought about throwing a game to avoid Legion field?
• Which has a better chance of being longer? The bowl names or the title of a Tyler Perry movie?
• If Notre Dame loses, will their fans grab Krystal’s on the ride home?
• If Notre Dame wins, will Lou Holtz turn into a JibJab character?
• I guess one out of three is still a good prediction for the National Championship game.
  

  So much for USC

I hope you all have a happy New Year. As I’ve said before, let’s enjoy the games and be glad we are watching from where none of the coaches or players can hear us.

College Football Questions: Rivalry Week

I’ve taken a break for a while, mostly because of this guy. I’m back now and a lot has happened. Top teams have fallen and coaches have already started heading to the exits. Here’s a few questions:

• Can anyone think of one happy little ginger?
  

  “Shollin Shlein losh to Baylor . .”

• Does Matt Barkley regret it?
• Sometimes it’s hard to pull for either team.
  

  ND & USC = The Unlike-a-bowl

• What are UT fans hoping for more at this point? Jon Gruden or James Franklin leaving Vanderbilt?
• Has anyone seen Texas A&M’s OC, Kliff Kingsbury, do his best Risky Business impression?
• With no head coach and no SEC wins between Tennessee and Kentucky this season, one of them has to walk away with a win . . . right?
• The Auburn family sure was excited about their 51-7 win over Alabama . . .  A&M (you are just supposed to whisper that last part).
• Here’s a major question I know has been on everyone’s mind- If Chizik is fired, will Under Armor stop making those awful jackets?
• Have you ordered yours yet? They won’t be shipping to Baton Rouge.
• Will anyone ever realize that the only following Lane Kiffin has is NCAA investigators?
• Speaking of investigators . . . do you see a trend?
• Have you ever actually seen the Mad Hatter go mad?

Let’s sit back and enjoy the games and be THANKFUL  we are sitting where none of the coaches and players can hear us.

College Football Questions: Week Nine

Well the season is already on its downward angle. The BCS computers are warmed up and cranking out numbers. Analysts are throwing out scenarios more useless than presidential debates. Here’s a few questions.

• Am I the only one who realized what happened to the little kid from “A League of Their Own?”
  

  “You’re gonna lose, you’re gonna lose”

• Are there any dumb questions?
• I’ll ask again, why is Lou Holtz on ESPN? Anyone with that much bias belongs on MSNBC?
• Who will win the ineligiBOWL between Penn State and Ohio State?
• Was anyone keeping an eye on the butt-chuggers in Knoxville after last Saturday’s game? Let’s hope they don’t drink when they’re depressed.
• Does anyone know how housing market is doing? More specifically in Knoxville and Auburn? Two nice houses may be listed soon.
• Can someone tell me why this guy was not laid out on the field?
• Why have we not heard anything from John L. Smith in a while?
• Who’s still holding a grudge? Looks like Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida and even Texas.
  

  Bitter Much?

• I thought Les pulled plays out of his hat?
  

  The Mad Hatter

• Will Oklahoma ever have as many fans as they will this Saturday? 

Let’s enjoy the games and be glad we are sitting where no players or coaches can hear us.

College Football Questions: Week Seven

I’ve taken a few weeks off from the College Football Questions, but I haven’t missed a game.  And now, here we are, halfway through the regular season and I’ve still got questions.

• Did you feel that? Geno Smith just scored again.
• Does anyone else think Dana Holgerson looks like the guy from Silence of the Lambs?
  

  “It puts the lotion on it’s skin”

• Is this a successful college football family or names from the Jersey Shore?
  

  Sal, Tito, & Vinnie Sunseri

• We all know the lasting legacy Dr. Lou left the Fighting Irish, but who knew he’d make an appearance on the helmets?
  

  Notre Dame Helmets – The Lou Holtz Edition

• Can a hot seat break a hip? Someone better tell Chiz to have icepacks ready.
• Who knew the only thing that could keep Oregon from scoring another touchdown was a bye week?
• Is there anything better that watching a coach celebrate his first signature win? Wait for the one minute mark. It’s priceless.
• Does it mean the same thing that both of these teams had three different quarterbacks take snaps against John L. and the hogs?
  

  AJ McCarron, Phillip Ely, Blake Sims & Kiehl Frazier, Clint Moseley, Jonathan Wallace

  Let’s enjoy the games and be glad we are sitting where no players or coaches can hear us.

College Football Questions: Week Two

It’s week two of college football. Last week I did my first post for the sport. It was a lot of fun so I thought I’d do it again. I won’t be doing this each week, but there has just been too much action in the last seven days to let it all go  unquestioned. So here is College Football Questions-Week Two:

• Do wolverines really look that much like beavers?
  

  Beaver>Wolverine?

• Why does anyone give Lou Holtz a microphone?
• Who looks best in a white suit?
  

  Mark Twain, Colonel Sanders, & Desmond Howard

• Why are players still allowed to tweet?
• Does anyone else think Brian VanGorder looks “Dazed and Confused”?
  

  “Alright, alright, alright”

• How many press conferences will it take for Saban to turn green and jump into a pair of purple shorts?
• Does anyone remember the first team from Alabama to win in JerryWorld over a top ten team? Ask @UNAAthletics.
• If Georgia loses this weekend will Mark Richt’s stock fall faster than his back dive?

That’s all for this week.

College Football Questions: Week One

College football is finally here. It’s been 234 days since we last saw it in New Orleans. And by “it” I’m still talking about football and not what happened at Krystal’s. Last year I got to celebrate the season as not only a fan, but a father. After October 15th, I get to double the feeling when my wife and I expect our second son to arrive. But as the season begins I’m still left with several questions that I hope are answered. Here they are:

• Is Lou Holtz a real doctor?
  

  Zipped up to the neck? Really?

• Will someone talk to Gene Chizik about those windbreakers?
• How many times will we hear about a playoff?
• Will someone explain what “spice” really is?
• How many sources does Joe Schad actually have?
• Will Twitter be able to keep up with Clay Travis bashing Tennessee?
• Will we still hear the term “Tebow-esque”?
• How many coaches will throw their headsets and forget they are still attached?
• Will Tom Rinaldi keep trying to make me cry? 
• Does anyone else think Dan Mullen looks like a used-car salesmen?
• Will Lee Corso ever pick the road team?
• How will Brady Hoke get Michigan ready for Alabama when he’s making speeches at the Republican National Convention?

Chris Christie & Brady Hoke

• Will anything mess up Derek Dooley’s hair?
• What player from LSU will Verne Lundquist mispronounce?
• Which mascots will take things a little too far?
• Will Lane Kiffin have enough time for USC while he’s filming Tosh.O?

Daniel Tosh & Lane Kiffin

• Will the University of North Alabama be the third team in four years from Alabama to win a National Championship?
• Will Nick Saban make it happen back-to-back? Why not? I did. (see October 15th)

So let’s sit back, enjoy, and be thankful that we are able to yell at these coaches and players from where none of them can hear us.
