Out of Conference Games I’d Like to Watch

During the college football season there are only a handful of meaningful out of conference games. This needs to change. Watching your team squash div 1aa cupcakes (except Michigan [Appalachian St is Hot HOT HOT!]) is great, but who doesn’t like seeing their team square off against a powerhouse.

Virginia Tech v Tennessee – These two schools are only 242 miles apart and have tried to set up a one game series before. Apparently both teams cannot agree on where to play the game. Let’s get this thing done already. Either make a home and home series or play a game at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Boston College v Connecticut – When Uconn joined the Big East they thought there would be many bitter, intense and hard fought games against BC for years to come.  The hate between the two schools intensified when BC bolted for the ACC.  Now that Uconn is starting to recruit a home and home against BC would be a great series to watch.

Rutgers v Penn State – Rutgers is beginning to assimilate some of Penn State’s highly valued recruiting territory into the Rutgers Nation.  What better way to show New Jersey recruits who reigns supreme then by battling it out on the field.  Also, a respectable out of conference game will help to boost the national respect for Penn State (and the Big Ten) who has been playing Florida International, Buffalo, Akron, Youngstown State and Notre Dame out of conference over the last couple of years.

Texas v Arkansas – I realize the two are playing in 2008 and 2009, but this should be an annual series.  The former SWC border rivals loath each other and it makes for a hard hitting great game whenever they play.

LSU v USC – Les Miles shots at USC last summer started an off the field rivalry that I’d love to see played out on the field.  Because of Miles’ and Carroll’s decision making and play calling USC and LSU games are amazing to watch (except against VT).  Now imagine them going at each other.  I think this game would be nothing short of incredible and all college football fans want to see the SEC’s best versus the Pac 10’s best.

If you got any others leave them in the comments.

Mike Brown Likes to Steal, Smoke Pot (allegedly).

mbrown Mike Brown Likes to Steal, Smoke Pot (allegedly).Brown, who has started four games at cornerback for the Cavaliers, has been charged with one count each of grand larceny, possession of stolen property with intent to sell, alteration of serial numbers and possession of marijuana, U.Va. police announced Monday.

The stolen items in question are the endoskelton arm and central processing unit of a Cyberdyne Systems T Triple-Eight.  Brown was attempting to scrub the serials off before selling them on the street. I can only conclude the money would have been used to buy copious amounts of marijuana and smoked to get “Mt. Fuji High.”

Brown, 21, is from Newark, N.J.  In April 2006, he pleaded guilty in Charlottesville General District Court to one count of misdemeanor trespassing in connection with a brawl at a U.Va. fraternity on Rugby Road.  He was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service.  Brown originally was charged with a felony in that matter.
