NCAA Football Week 5: Paul Hornungs' Single Bar Facemask

South Florida at Pitt kick off the festivities Thursday Night.

A&M vs. the Hogs should turn into a colossal bore. (Tip/try, etc.)

Clemson v. Va. Tech looks intriguing. Is Clemson really that good?

Alabama @ Florida. First team to 20 wins this.

Nebraska @ Wisky could be highly entertaining. Crowd will look like a massive candy cane.

 

Very nervous about the game at the Horseshoe... screw you, Fickel...

 

Nice candy cane line!

The latest SkiptomyLou Holtz and Co. ad on ESPN where he riffs on Groupon is funny but damn does it really showcase Lou's mental and verbal deterioration. I guess Dick Clark wasn't available.

 

If you're a Sparty fan, I wouldn't be. I expect Coach D to throw the kitchen sink at Miller (tOSU's frosh QB). He's a talented kid, but he's still a very raw product. I'm just hoping he gets through the next four (Sparty, Nebraska, Illinois & Wisco) without a chalk outline being involved.

I'm looking forward to Bucky & the Huskers on Saturday P.M. Should be a mighty good one. Not sure what to expect from this one, except (in the immortal words of Otis Sistrunk), "Pain."

 

Maybe, although most of the Nebraska fans that get into Camp Randall will be wearing black.

 

A couple other good games on tap:

• Air Force at Navy, noon EDT (9 a.m. for me) -- As long as neither team turns it over a lot (or gets a huge lead), you'll see option plays a'plenty. I love it.

• Washington at Utah, 7 p.m. EDT -- On the other extreme, this should be a shootout between two up-and-coming teams. Utah had a bye week after just destroying BYU, and UW led by QB Keith Price had a strong win over Cal last weekend. If the Huskies win this, I could see an 8- or 9-win season for them.

 

What, no hype for the Wesley-Charleston Southern game?

 

Go Hokies

 

Thanks for playing, South Florida. That was a terrible performance.

 

USF falling apart after cracking the top 20? Color me shocked.

 

Someone get Webby off the ledge.
