Well, first of all, I am the Maniac- Mountaineer Maniac to be exact so I dont get any "I can help you" type comments. That's right, I'm a die hard West Virginia University football fan. I live and die by my Mountaineers as you will find out. I do not live in WV- actually I live in Florida-sadly.
Now, to why I'm here- to rant, rave, and anything else about college football. As I always will, I'll start with my boys:
Look, I understand that you had a great run at Wake Forest Mr. Mullen, but this isn't fuckin Wake Forest. Goin 6-3 through 9 games on a schedule considered to be one of the easiest in major College football is pathetic. I'm not placing all the blame on you for losing to ECU, but that game out in Boulder- all you son. I counted 8 times that you had a 3rd and longer-than-5 situation- with one being a 3rd and 23. Out of those 8 times, you threw screen passes to the wideouts 4 times, and on that 3rd and 23 that was just out of field goal range, you decided to run a draw play up the freakin middle. All that needed to be done was gain 10 yards for Patty Mac to kick a 40 yarder.
The Cincy game was just as bad, sir. Being held to 7 points in the first 3 quarters is absolutely NOT West Virginia football. In fact, it's almost like the Mountaineer Offense was wearing Bearcat uniforms last night. Terrible is all I have to say.
Fans, if Jeff Mullen comes back next year, I think I'll be forced to go sit on Ed Pastilong's front porch with my resume for the OC position. This type of play kills me.
Briefly on the rest of the nation, since it's late and some people have to work tomorrow.
Texas Tech proved me wrong, they now deserve the #2 spot. Graham Harrell should win the Heisman. 40-50 is an insanely good percentage (80% for those who can't do math) and 5 TDs is just as good. Kudos to the defense for stepping up too.
Penn State fell into a trap. Some might say "Iowa was not a trap game". You're wrong, nice try. Iowa's biggest home win before yesterday was against Wisconsin, a 5-3 team. Iowa had not played a ranked team all year, and the Lions got comfortable with a lead in the 4th. Iowa gets it's 6th win. Bowl Bound!
Alabama- Lucky lucky lucky. Escapes with a win in Death Valley to keep the dream alive. Alabama has one test left: Florida in the SEC championship game. Miss St. and Auburn had a chance until the game ended. The Tide will roll through the next 3 weeks. It's gonna be a dandy in Atlanta boys and girls. You're gonna want to save the date.
Now, I'll do one of these every week. I'll pick someone out and laugh at them for stupidity, losing a game they shouldn't have, or just because I feel like picking on them. It's my "DOH!" award.
---Tennessee. Seriously, Wyoming? Wyoming?! A team that lost to Bowling Green by 29 AT HOME? Look, I disagree with hat happened to Coach Fulmer, but come on. It was setup by the college football gods as a feel good game. At home against a previously 3-6 team (now 4-6) who was NOT expected the have a shot at a bowl game this year (or ever again in my mind).. That's right, if Wyoming beats UNLV and Colorado State (hey, it could happen) they are Bowl Eligible. Nice one Vols, it kind of gave me an Appalachian State-Michigan flashback. DOH!
Enjoy Va. Tech at Miami this Thursday night. Battle for sole possesion of 2nd place in the Coastal Division of the ACC. My Pick: VT 23-17.
Don't forget to kiss the dog, kick the wife and have a cold beer. Good Night Fans
