This Saturday……
Is “The Third Saturday in October”…..

Jo Pa visits the Big Horseshoe….
This Saturday…….
The Dawgs of Georgia travel to Death Valley to take on the Fightn’ Tigers…
This Saturday…….
The Wolverines and Spartans do battle in Michigan…..
And….
This Saturday…….
The University of Southern California plays “another” Assisted Living Facility in the Pac 10!
It’s a Big Weekend of College Football….
So let’s get to it…
Enjoy Your Picks!
College Football NEWS and VIEWS
ABC COLLEGE FOOTBALL (Opening): We get it…..
ABC…ESPN….Disney..etc…etc…
ALSO owns the record company that promotes Kenny Chesney…
Which explains the “opening” segment of him singing his “new” song….
The “opening” segment couldn’t be any Gayer if George Michael and Sigfried and Roy were singing ” It’s Raining Men…”
EDITORS NOTE: ALSO……
I really don’t want to hear a gay man singing about having a “Wild Ride”…
It’s disgusting….
CBS COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Can you believe it…..
The “Commentators” with CBS were actually saying “Southern California was scoring style points by beating Washington State” by 70 points….
Style Points?
Washington State is 1 and 7….
Their ONLY win coming against Portland State……
And….
YOU want to talk about “Style Points”?
Isn’t that just a new name for “Bad Sportsmanship”?
TEXAS: DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
LOU HOLTZ: By now you have all heard about what Lou said on the ESPN College Football studio program…
He used a “Hitler” reference last weekend when giving a description about leadership and discussing “Good” and “Bad” leadership…..
Coach Lou was forced to apologize on National Television….
ask for forgiveness…..
and generally beg on national television to keep his job…
COMMENTARY: I am sick of this damn crap….
NOBODY on the planet enjoys picking on Lou more than I do….
I think he looks like a Granny from “The Beverly Hillbillies”….
I think he sounds like Slyvester the Cat after dollar beer night at the Bowling Alley…
I believe he may be a 150 pound Tom Turkey…
BUT he didn’t SAY a damn thing wrong….
There isn’t a DAMN thing in the Constitution of the United States that “Gives you the right to be Offended”
If you are that big a damn Wussy and searching the planet for something to offend you….
Look no further than right here…dumbass.
BIG 12 HEISMAN: This year the Heisman Trophy will belong to the Big 12….
It may be Texas Tech….
Could be Oklahoma….
Might be MO’S TIGERS….
BUT….
It WILL be in Austin Texas…..
Believe it….
FLORIDA: Just for the Record….
The Mighty Gators of Florida won the 1984 Southeastern Conference Championship….
Period….
EDITORS NOTE: In case you didn’t know by now….
Yes, I can carry a grudge….
PENN STATE: All I heard before the season started….
“Jo Pa has Lost control of the team…..”
Then…..
“The game has passed Jo Pa…”
Hell……
This past week I even spoke with a guy that “claimed” to be an Alumni of Penn State and he said….
“Jo Pa has GOT to Go!……It’s Time!”
Then he admitted that “He didn’t really watch football……”
EDITORS NOTE: It is my belief….
That the guy I spoke with is either lying about going to Penn State or he is a communist..
However, it is also my belief that the extreme cold of living that close to the Arctic Circle causes permanent brain freeze….
SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE: We are still waiting to hear what you are going to do with the “Full-Contact” referee from the South Carolina – LSU Game?
EDITORS NOTE: Please don’t ask if I will forget all about it…..
You know better than that….
WISCONSIN: FOUR in a DAMN Row?
How can you cheese-heads lose FOUR in a DAMN ROW?
You are killing my average….
You know that right?
NAVY: SOOOooooo I pick you to “Win”….
YOU lose….
I pick you to “Lose”…
YOU win….
Why can’t we all just get along?
ARMY: Please see “Navy” above….
COMMERCIALS: What is the deal with Dr. Pepper?
Are athletes that haven’t been on television in over 25 years suppose to make us drink “More” Dr. Pepper?
Maybe showing an out of work actor from a 20 year old situational comedy will do the trick?
Are you all stupid or just out of touch?
STOP IT!….It’s annoying.
COMMERCIALS (PART II): I could not believe my own ears…..
Last week on ESPN College GameDay here were the order of commercials during the first hour….
First…
“Subway”…The Five Dollar Foot-long commercial complete with the catchy theme music…
Second….
“Viagra”…The “Viva Viagra” commercial complete with the catchy theme music…
Third…
“Male Enhancement”…You guessed it…
Complete with some catchy theme music….
This subliminal messaging thing has gotten out of control…..
MICHIGAN STATE: The Spartans have a chance for glory this weekend….
Take advantage of it…..
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Seriously…..
Are you guys STILL not on probation?
AFTER….
ALL the Reggie Bush $$$$$$$$ while he was still in school?
EVEN…
AFTER all that?
AND….
Reggie Bush’s Momma’s and Daddy’s house?
Really?……
Where did the NCAA get YOUR investigators?
Aruba?
NATIONAL SPORTS MEDIA: I loved last weeks slobber fest between the Media and the $outhern California Trojan$…..
They tried to make the thrashing of the Washington State Cougars sound like the Trojan$ just beat the Klingons for Interstellar Domination….
ESPN: Did anyone have the misfortune of hearing the ESPN crew calling the Georgia Tech – Clemson game last Saturday?
I won’t rehash the level of stupidity between those two idiots….
There is no point in it…
But let me just say this….
The “Dumbass Twins” of Andre Ware and David Pasch….
Put the DUMB….
IN….
ASS…..
ESPN (PART II): Still no word about the Reggie Bush and Southern California Trojan Investigation?
Really?
You know I am going to KEEP doing this?
Right?
NCAA: You all have more TOOLS……than Lowes and Home Depot combined.
A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY….
To THE Voice of COLLEGE Football…
MR. KEITH JACKSON…..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Whoa NELLY!
