I Need a Tylenol: 10 Things That Gave Me a Headache in Week 3

My name is Chase, and I need anger management.  It is only three weeks into the college football season and I think I might have a hernia on my left abdomen. I don’t have a six pack, so this might be a good thing. People might think it’s an ab!  Wishful thinking. 

Anyways, I’ve decided that instead of keeping my rants inside of me and waiting to be justified in the next week of football, I’ll instead let them out and hopefully annoy and/or upset some of you readers. 

If anyone is in agreement with what I say, then you too are crazy and should seek mental help. College football is an addiction, and it needs to be treated as such. 

 

Here are the 10 things that pissed me off this college football weekend. 

 

1. Kirk Herbstreit

It only took 27 minutes into the Ohio State-USC game before Mr. Buckeye himself started touting this year's USC team as quite possibly the best USC team that Pete Carroll has coached in his eight years in Los Angeles.

Hey, I’ve got an idea!  Why doesn’t ESPN make a special about how this year's USC team would match up against the greatest teams of all time BEFORE the season is over?

What?  They did that three years ago?   And Texas beat them in the National Championship? 

Well, did they do a special about Texas being the best team of all-time after they won?  No? Oh well, they were probably just busy...

 

2.  Ohio State

None of USC’s greatness would be warranted if “The” Ohio State University would have even put the ball in the end-zone.  Just once!   Is it that hard?

Thank you OSU, for making USC’s defense look like the Steel Curtain.  FYI to Jim Tressel.  If your team falls apart after losing your No. 1 running back, then you didn’t have a good team in the first place. 

 

3.  Hurricane Ike

Because of this tropical disturbance turned horrible, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who live in the southeastern part of Texas were terrorized this Saturday.   They were forced to evacuate and leave their homes in the hands of Mother Nature. 

Mother was apparently not happy and decided to destroy my uncle’s seaside house.  Thankfully, he left his house before the storm hit, but he must now live in a hotel until he can rebuild and restart his life there. 

Not only did this affect me personally, but on another, less important note, the Texas vs. Arkansas game was postponed until two weeks from yesterday.  I go to school in order to get season tickets for really cheap (seriously).  This week was a waste of my time.

Now I have to wait a whole other week until I can see my Longhorns do to Rice what Ike did to the Texas Gulf Coast.
