25 Thoughts on College Football's First Weekend

Here are some things I think/thought about the first weekend of the college football season.

1.  OK, I should've done some research on VT.  I mean, I didn't bet on them or make any real predictions, but when you lose that many players of that quality, how in the world are you ranked in the top 25?!  This one should've been seen a mile away.

2.  I'm not sure why, but I found myself gloating over the Pitt loss.  I don't really have anything against the school, coach, or players, but I'm just kind of happy they lost.  I guess I just like it when someone who gets undeserved hype and respect is brought back down to earth (same reason I was happy that TTech wasn't that impressive).

Or maybe I'm just excited that Pitt might give my Tom Selleck idea a chance.

3.  Dang, I wish I would've watched the second half of the UCLA vs. Tenn. game.  Darn my girlfriend!  How does a guy throw FOUR HORRIBLE INTs in the first half and then win the game?  If only Chris Simms could've pulled that trick.

I missed out on a chance to see the Fake UT get beaten and to see more shots of the cheerleader above?!  Big mistake.

4. Clemson, Clemson, Clemson.  I don't wanna pour salt on the wounds, but it's really gotta sting that not only did you lose (which admit it, you knew, deep down you would), you just got destroyed.  The hype machine claims another victim.  You would've thought people would be used to this with them, but I guess not.

Here's a hint: FIRE BOWDEN!  I mean, I had a feeling Bama would win, but I had no idea that they would dominate like this.  Yeesh.  I'll take the SEC over the ACC any day.

5.  USC looks good.  Really good.  Crap.

6.  The Pac-10 looked pretty darn good.  When a team like UCLA, who many predicted to have no more than four wins, beats one of the supposedly better teams in the SEC, you've got to be pretty proud.  Cal beat MSU.  Pretty good weekend.

I mean, WSU didn't beat my Big 12 brothers from Stillwater, but hey, you've gotta take baby steps.  First get better than the Big Ten and SEC, and then when you wear big boy pants, maybe you can talk about challenging the Big 12.  All I'm saying is, my UT beat a team in Los Angeles.  Bring it on Snobs!

7.  The Big East looked really bad, except for Pat White.

8.  The Big 12 looked pretty good, except for A&M.  HA HA!  Poor Aggies.

9.  Way to go Georgia Tech!  Karma's a bee-yotch, isn't it Perrilloux?

10.  Mizzou, rest Maclin!  Or don't—get him hurt for the entire season.  It would help my Horns out.

11.  I wish Indian food was easier to get.  Why are all the Indian restaurants like sit-down places or buffets?  You can order Chinese by number and get it delivered.  I have to put on pants and go halfway across Atlanta and then navigate my way through the Malayalam language just to get some good paneer.

Hey, I said thoughts on the weekend, not exclusively college football.  It was an issue I dealt with this weekend.
