The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Week 4 of the college football season had a couple of marquee games, a couple of upsets but no big surprises. The big news was how easily the Oregon Ducks absolutely manhandled a fairly good Arizona squad. The Quack attack showed the Wildcats much the same respect the Einsatzgruppen showed the Ukrainians at Babi Yar, going for it on 4th and 2 on their own 39 yard line; their FIRST possession of the game! If that don't say "I own you bitch" I don't know what does. They had about 500 yards in total offense pretty much equally divided between passing and rushing. As the final score was 49 zip I see no need to mention the defense. This is a good football team and the word around the duck-blind is these guys are ready to challenge the mighty Crimson Tide. We'll see.

The Tide looked good, FSU finally pulled ahead of Clemson due in part to a ridiculous holding call on the Tigers (Herbstreit called it "interesting") and a "I see nothing" pass interference that should have gone against the Seminoles. But FSU would have probably won anyway. Clemson still covered the spread. Kansas State opened up a can on Ok in Norman (I hate Bob Stoops) and LSU beat undoubtedly the best 1-3 team in the country, the Auburn Tigers.
Now for the really bad news. The Virginia X were shocked down in Fort Worth by an obviously inferior Texas Christian team. The Horned Frogs laid a Deliverance style humiliation on the visiting X who's fingers must have been coated in some sort of lubricant as they fumbled the ball four (4) times. But UVA's starting quarterback Mike Rocco was insistent that the X could play with any team in the country...THAT is how good we are! OOOOOOO!!! Unconfirmed reports have NC State attempting to cancel their Nov. 3rd. contest with Virginia due to a team outbreak of gingivitis.
