Oh Hey, We're Back

Why not boot this rust bucket back up in honor of the start of college football season. Let's do it the lazy, bullet-style way.

--BYU 14, Fuck you Stoops 13. BYU was on a mission tonight.

--The Papa John's commercial with Papa John and the Girl Scouts/Catholic School girls? And him delivering pizza out of a late model muscle car? What, was the windowless van unavailable?

--Iowa has to block two field goals to hold on against 1-AA Northern Iowa, Ohio State barely beats Navy, and Minnesota almost loses to a team with Greg Paulus at QB. Clearly, the Big Ten is the football conference most deserving of its own TV network.

--Pitt beats Youngstown State 38-3 and the fans boo lame-duck QB Bill Stull after his first incompletion. That's appalling behavior. At this point in his career, they should be throwing trash.

--Florida beats Charleston Southern like 800 to 3, but c'mon, Charleston Southern is the real winner here. They got to touch Tim Tebow in his house of worship. The fact that most of the touching was limited to futile swipes with fingertips is irrelevant.

--Penn State smashed Akron 31-7, but anyone that's seen a Penn State early season cupcake game could have told you the script before the game happened. Big first half, second half that cures insomnia.

--USC played San Jose St. and though it took them awhile, the Trojans caught fire and won in big. See what I did there? Fire? Because they play in L.A.? Yeah? Yeah? No? Okay.

--Brent Musberger appeared on TV in a racing helmet, and as one of my friends said, "Looked like one of the Nazis after they opened the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark."

--Big Ten Network receiver Kenny Jackson is my new favorite person on TV, even though he's too awkward to watch. While trying to interview Joe Paterno today, he basically screamed shit at Paterno and it barely made sense. This wouldn't be noteworthy save for the fact that he played for Paterno and was still that awkward. And his pregame report from the sideline, well, let's just never speak of it again.
