Hockey, done. NBA, done. Euro '08, done. College Baseball, done. MLB, at about the half way point, or as I like to call it, the time when people in Cincinnati, Kansas City, San Diego, Pittsburgh, Colorado, and Baltimore start thinking about football. Football? Don't mind if I do!
(By the way, for the following mentioning in the Bret Bielema category, that is brought up for Wisconsin’s scheduling of Akron, Marshall, Fresno State, and Cal-Poly this season, UNLV, Wazzu, Northern Illinois, and The Citadel last season and Bowling Green, Western Illinois, San Diego State, and Buffalo in 2006. Or in other words, a BCS team vs. non-BCS cupcake. Good work Badgers.)
My Top Games for September:
August 28-September 1 weekend—
The only reason I’d watch this game is if my other option is Oprah: Utah State at UNLV, 2007 Combined Records—4-20
Scheduled game that makes Bret Bielema wish he’d of thought of that: Georgia Southern at Georgia. This game becomes more fun in my eyes with former Buckeye Antonio Henton now at the helm for Georgia Southern.
The Appetizers:
Appalachian State at LSU. I know everyone has already circled this date as an obvious upset, so therefore by reverse effect, it won't happen. You can imagine if it did though. LSU doesn't have the same QB, RB, DT, LB, FS, WR, and a host of other role players that are still smiling about the lickin' they put on the 'Bucks. I'm just sayin'...I hate the SEC.
Alabama at Clemson. The stupidity of college football scheduling is not that Ohio State faces Youngstown State opening weekend or Oklahoma takes on Chattanooga in game one of 2008.
It's that teams like 'Bama and Clemson decide to start their untested season off with a tough game yet play Western Kentucky and The Citadel/South Carolina State respectively later on in the season.
Same for...
Hawaii at Florida. Florida opens with Hawaii yet play The Citadel the second to last week of the season. Hawaii gets to experience the post-Brennian Period, poundings in the Swamp included.
