FINALLY an interesting weekend of college football. A few upsets, some hijinks, some scares, some drama - this was a much needed Saturday.
Alabama
- Very talented, yada, yada, but that was a SLOPPY performance. Turnovers galore, missed tackles, relying on the big play too often.
- Amari Cooper is a stud. I didn't realize it before. I mean, I knew he had some speed, but he's probably the best receiver in the country. Though I disagree with Gary and Verne's splooge comments about how he and Julio Jones will be the #1 and #2 receivers in the NFL in a few years.
- Blake Sims scares me. Not that I think he's all that spectacular. I think his performance was more on Florida's shitty defensive play calling. But he's fast and quick. I can't remember an Auburn defense in a long time including Tuberville years being able to really stop a running quarterback that can throw.
- Speaking of Gary and Verne splooge comments, anyone else hear Gary compare Kenyon Drake to Reggie Bush?
- Also on that play, that was not some maniacal ingenuity by Lane Kiffin. Florida allowed their middle linebacker to split wide to play cornerback without safety help.
Florida
- Muschamp is done. That was one of the more piss-poor efforts on defense I've seen since the last time I watched Texas A&M play football. What's Muschamp's specialty? Defense?
LSU
- Miles should bolt while he has a chance. The Tigers looked uninspired. With Auburn putting together a dominant program, Alabama being where they are, Miss State pounding ass, Ole Miss getting 8-9 wins, and Arkansas pushing you to the 4th quarter in Fat Bert's first terrible, bad, god-awful year, LSU is going to see a significant drop off over the next few years.
Florida State
- Is this the most despicable program in the country? You know, after the bullshit the media threw at Auburn and Cam Newton, it seems like the celebrities of college football have gotten worse and worse. Cam's been involved in charity, volunteering, and promoting a positive lifestyle in the wake of numerous NFL scandals. What are the rest of the big college guys doing? Johnny Money Manziel? Jameis Rapist Winston?
- And how fucking retarded does Winston have to be to STILL DRESS OUT FOR THE GAME? You know why he still dressed out? Because he's a moron OR because the leniency of Florida State (and Tallahassee) has enabled him to think that being suspended means he can still play if he wants to.
- Jimbo Fisher at the end of the game last night said that Winston was still a good kid and sometimes you have to discipline your kids if they step out of line. If my kid admitted to running trains on drunk girls that he later dropped off in parking lots and if my kid stole food from grocery stores and if my kid screamed absurdly inappropriate sexual comments in the middle of a large crowd of people, I'm probably either disowning him or if I really care about him, getting him some serious help. I'm also going to remove him from the environment that is enabling that kind of behavior.
- It really is despicable when I think about it. The police department doing jack shit to really investigate Winston's rape charge. The university waiting a year and a half later to run through the motions to see if Winston should be kicked out of school (he won't be). The football and baseball coaches doing very little to improve Winston's decision making. Awful what big business has done to athletics. A college sports program should be an environment that fosters characters in athletes ESPECIALLY if they come from a bad home town.
Clemson
- Hahahahahhaa Dabo.
