OK folks... Let's play my own version of 20 questions...
1. Let's jump right in... Does anyone see ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THE CLOCK RULE? My answer: No. Next question.
2. I didn't get to see many games with volume (nor will I, trying to keep an eye on as many as I can)... What announcing crews struck you as being good, or having a good chemistry? I can tell you off the top of my head that Kirk Herbstreit ranks up there as one of the best announcers in ANY sport at what he does. I saw he was working with Musberger and Davie in Atlanta last night. Patrick and Blackledge had the game in Fayetteville. I'm not sure who the best is, look forward to responses here.
3. Under the circumstances, which team performed better than anyone in the country? I'll give you three. Heads and shoulders above all was Tennessee. They would not have lost to ANYONE - Texas, Ohio State and USC included - yesterday in Knoxvul. Not after last year, not with the addition of Cutcliffe and not with Fat Phil on a mission. I was lucky to realize that and when they tried to make Cal a favorite at halftime, I got all my money back. Honorable mention goes to USC for its throttling and to Ohio State, which I thought looks really good early against a Northern Illinois team that will prolly win the MAC.
4. Along the USC lines, how sick are the Texans now that Davis is out for the year? Suddenly, they need a running back. HELLO, the best potential back in decades was right there for the taking at No. 1, and you passed.
5. My fantasy football draft is tonight. Anyone got any sleepers? I'm clueless, still trying to make numbers for next week's games...
6. Biggest disappointment? I would have to say Utah State for wagering purposes. They were completely outmanned by a Wyoming bunch that I thought would be a bottom-dweller in its league.
7. National level bigger disappointment? Let you pick between Michigan State and Utah.
8. Biggest surprise? Aside from some we already mentioned, I didn't forsee Auburn laying that kind of beating on Wazzou. The Cougs were a tough luck team last year. Time will tell if they can improve on their record but they were outmanned last night on the plains.
9. Biggest overacheiver? Not to us, cause thanks to Al and Denny we knew, but Pitt's offense in Year 2 looks like it could be scary good. So much so that I think they, not Rutgers, are the team that could most threaten WV and U of L in the Big East.
10. Best individual effort? Tough one, especially to give to a loser, but Garrett Wolfe needs to put his Heisman campaign in high gear. He is some special player.
11. Biggest forum game I tried to scream you off of, but you wouldn't listen? Easy. Houston. I'm sure I'll get some answers there about the disappointment/surprise, etc.; but when they try to lay DDs on the road again, wake me up and tell me again so I can bet the other side.
12. Biggest forum game I tried to scream you off of, and I shoulda listened? That's a no-brainer. Nebraska. Good call fellas.
13. How impressive was Mustain in his first drive last night? Jesus. The young man did everything right. The execution on the handoff to Jones, the long pass, the QB draw/run up the middle on first-and-goal. This young man made me say WOW!
14. How funny was it to see him totally misread the defense the next time when he threw his pick? USC dropped 8 back, so he had all the time in the world. Except he didn't see the guy who eventually intercepted the ball. Just goes to show, even after the first drive, you ain't playing Jefferson City anymore, son.
15. Another angle on why to take USC? Well, along the same lines, this was a rookie offensive coordinator, hired from Mustain's high school in Missouri. A little different trying to prepare for and call plays against one of the most athletic teams in the nation.
16. Can someone tell me about the movie The Departed? I saw them hyping the shit out of it last night. Looks like an interesting cast.
17. Best bet you made yesterday? Easy. Same best bet I made all week. The Dodgers. Ride 'em when they're hot, bet the other side when they lose more than 1 game in a row.
18. Favorite game to watch today? I'll stick with the one I got the big bet on, the night game from Louisville. Go Cats!
19. Favorite thing to do on holiday weekends? THere's no Niffel but watching football is so entertaining. Would be nice to spend time with the family, so I'd recommend you guys try getting out and doing that too. I'll settle for a nice steak later on.
20. Anyone know how long the USC game took? Three hours and 45 minutes. Speeding up the game... suurrrrrrreeee.... How many instant replays SLOWED IT DOWN??? The end.
