I’m back with another article. Lots of things went on this week/weekend so I got a lot to cover.
First, I’ll start with Greg Paulus playing football…don’t laugh, he’s actually doing it. He joined the football team at Syracuse to play during his last year of eligibility. The problem is, he was first approached by Duke football coach, David Cutcliffe, and asked to come and try out at WIDE RECEIVER.
This brings me to a new segment of my article that I’ll call “REALLY?!?”
Really Greg?!? You think after 4 years of not playing football, at the sport’s most important position, that you could waltz into any program and be a starter?!?
Really Syracuse?!? You’re THAT awful that you recruit a sub-par point guard who hasn’t played in 4 years and was turned down by DUKE?!? Reeeeaaaalllllyyy??!?
Really Coach Cutcliffe?!? You don’t think your program could use a little spotlight to help with recruiting? You don’t think he could’ve helped you lose to Richmond? You’re right, Thad Lewis is sooooooo much better…
Really Mrs Paulus?!? That’s what you gave birth to??
Well, he actually didn’t play too terribly bad…until it actually mattered…Paulus threw an interception in OT into quadruple coverage…re-living his old point guard days at Duke, I’m sure
However this Paulus experiment turns out, he’ll only be remembered by me for one thing http://www.youtube.com/wat
All kidding aside, Mike Gundy has his own take of how Paulus did this weekend…
So, Mike, what’d you think of Paulus’ first game of football in 4 years?

Ouch…care to say anything nice about the guy?

While I was watching Paulus waste space, ESPN led into the game with Kenny Chesney’s song he wrote especially for this college football season AND highlights of the UT football game…this means that in a span of 3 minutes I was watching Greg Paulus, Kenny Chesney and UT football simultaneously…I wanted to puke. There’s not too many things that could’ve made that scenario worse…maybe if I were watching the game with Liesel Benjamin while gorging myself on a jar of mayonnaise, I might have been able to complete the Circle of Hell.
(this is usually where I would put a link to the song, put I don’t want your computer to explode…)
I guess ESPN didn’t have much to choose from with regards to Kenny Chesney, their only other option is that God-awful Black-Eyed Peas song, “I Got A Feeling.” That song title pretty much sums up how I feel when I hear a new B.E.P. song (“I got a feeling” this song is going to suck…hard) and they never let me down. Seriously, that Black-Eyed Peas song is the worst song I’ve heard since……….well, their last one.
Really ESPN?!? Kenny Chesney and the Black-Eyed Peas?!? Who is in charge of choosing the songs, Helen Keller?
How about next week you dazzle our ears by playing “Mmm Bop” and “Macarena” (honestly I’d rather hear those than what you currently offer).
OK, and for a sub-tangent (this is a really long tangent). How do I know this is a terrible song?? Fergie is half-naked in the video and I can’t get over the fact that the song is raping my eardrums…
OK, and back to sports…
I guess I’ll talk about Notre Dame next…
They’re BACK!! After all these years of mediocrity, Notre Dame finally does it! They’re still undefeated after Week 1! I smell championnshhhiiipp…
I didn’t see the game (I forgot NBC still did sports) so I don’t know who they played…but they’re Notre Dame, they can schedule anyone! It HAD to be someone who is pretty decent. I mean…
…
NEVADA?!? Notre Dame still blows…
Charlie Weis might just be able to turn this thing around though, he has a genius idea. Schedule 12 of the worst teams in the nation and then when you win 8 or 9, point to the fact that you made it to a BCS bowl to save your job
FACT OF THE WEEK: Yes, it is an ACTUAL stipulation that Notre Dame gets a BCS bid if they win just 9 games…not a joke…on my part anyway
MADE-UP FACT OF THE WEEK: Kenny Chesney bankrolled a prostitution ring of immigrant 7-year-olds, with co-founder Payton Manning...they originally wanted the name "The Boys and Girls Club," but that was already taken...so they settled for "Hop on Pop" (yeah…let’s get that rumor started)
Mike Gundy, what do you think of Charlie Weis??

well put…
Now, on to another coach whose seat is a little toasty…Rich Rodriguez and Michigan
Rodriguez has been accused, by his own players, that they are practicing well over the limit allotted by the NCAA. Rodriguez vehemently denies these allegations, but…I don’t know, something seems a little fishy
So, Rodriguez says he is staying well within the NCAA rules…let’s see what Mike Gundy thinks…

Here’s how I see it…I don’t care if they were practicing 30 hours per week, they went 3-9 last year! They’re obviously not gaining an advantage from it…I say their punishment should be that they have to practice MORE….who knows, maybe they could win FOUR games this year
Speaking of terrible football teams….UVA
UVA decided they were allergic to winning this past weekend when they took one on the nose from…wait for it………William and Mary! (I know, right?)
I honestly can’t make fun of you and make you feel worse than you already do (read as: than you already SHOULD) so I’m going to take the high road and just let you lick your wounds…
No, I can’t do that, this is too good to pass up
UVA just dropped on the football school in the state of Virginia rankings, which now reads:
1. VT
2. Richmond
3. William and Mary
4. JMU
5. ODU
6. Radford’s JV
7. Virginia School of the Deaf and Blind
8. A soggy loaf of bread
9. Clay Aiken
10. UVA
And Al Groh… “I got a feeling”…you’re going to be homeless
