Ricky Speaks. I think by now everyone has seen Alabama Ricky’s Rant after a personal foul call during the VT-Alabama game, but if you haven’t watch it below.

Warning: NSFW (yes we curse here, but Ricky drops N-Bombs)

Bunkie from FOTP tracked down Ricky and did a follow up interview with him and boy is it a hoot.

FOTP: Do you have a memory of your greatest rant/meltdown during a football game?

The year Brody Croyle got sacked about 11 times during the Auburn game….I started throwing things out the back  door….including my truck keys and then had to find them.

Relatively speaking, this is only a mildly funny excerpt; translation the entire thing is a must read.

Fallout in Columbus. Before the game everyone and everything was chaotic, but loyal. Orson chronicled game day in Cbus and as you would expect Columbus is like any other batshit crazy football town with a drinking problem. After the loss dissension ran down the ranks at right about the same time Chris dropped this dressing down of Jim Tressel’s offensive scheme. Chris’ article is well written and poignant. From our own experiences we can say the one positive to having a conservative offense is having a tenacious well rested defense. With that said, you still need to be able to score points and sustain drives. Eleven Warriors has posted the five things tOSU fans should take away from Saturday’s heavyweight bout. And and if you were wondering, yes, Tressel feels bad for all those angry fans out there. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

Andy Hutchins takes a look at the bigger picture involving homoeroticism, homosexuality and athletes in a phenomenal post.

The Lamborghini is definitely blushing.

Doak Walker Candidates Announced. With so many names we thought it was impossible to snub any player on any college football watch-list. But Penn State’s Evan Royster isn’t one of the 45 players list as a Doak Walker candidate. Royster rushed for over 1200+ yards in ‘08 and will be featured even more in ‘09 while the Nitany Lions try to break in young inexperience wide receivers.

Steele, Turnovers and BCI. Brian looks at Phil Steele’s turnover predictor and what it means for our beloved ACC. Long story short it only applies to Miami, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech. If VT falls within the 80% success rate, the Hokies won’t win more than 10 games. Meanwhile Jeff, who was last seen wearing purple, must still be doing housework.

Well that was… unexpected. Michigan just announced that they will open up the newly renovated Big House with the UConn Huskies. There was much anticipation as to what team would open the monumental 2010 home season against the Wolverines and… well… fuck it ended up being UConn.  With this news I will kindly go back to my slumber.

NOTE: As CGB kindly posted I will be on the pot all weekend . Email me if you want to chat about the Obama beer party fiasco or if you have anything to share kid.k.keith@gmail.com

Donald Brown is an absolute beast.  He pounded the rock 33 times for 190 yards.  On average Uconn is picking up a first down every two times he carries the ball. The Steve Kragthorpe era has been a stellar disappointment. Louisville makes too many stupid mistakes, like fumbling the ball after a 30+ yard catch and run or getting dumb shit penalties on 3rd and 4th down.  I think some “Bring Back Schnellenberger” signs are now appropriate Cardinals fans.

Uconn is now 5-0 (1-0) and looks like like the team that will challenge USF for the conference championship.  The Huskies compliment their punishing rushing attack with a stout opportunistic defense. They lost senior quarterback Tyler Lorenzen with a broken foot last night, but sophomore Notre Dame transfer Zach Frazer came in and played very well.  It will be interesting to see how the Huskies handle their next stretch of games: @UNC and @Rutgers before getting Cincinnati and West Virginia at home. It isn’t unfathomable that Uconn will be 8-0 when the ‘Eers come to town.
