College football 10/07

So I start this week's installation a bit early. I walk in the door after a super-long day to see Matthew McConaghey cheering on the Thundering Herd, who was setting up for a go-ahead field goal after nearly squandering a prime touchdown chance against Central Florida. Kicker makes a 50-yarder. 22-20 Herd. We are Marshall!

UCF comes right back and does the same ... 23-22 UCF. And now, the idiot kicker for UCF took off his helmet, charged down the field in celebration ... and was assessed a penalty fore excesive celebration.

Damn, and after seeing a trailer for "We Are Marshall" at the theaters a couple weeks ago, I was actually excited to watch what was left of this game. Matthew McConaghey (who desperately needs to shower and shave) isn't bringing any luck to the teams whose sidelines he has graced as of late.

I used to work with a guy Matthew McConaughey would play if there were a movie about his life.

Between McConnaughey and Randy Moss, if there's one thing Marshall can attract, it's stoners ...

What do you want, CG? He and Sir Lance-Alot walked Texas' sideline during the national championship win. They used up enough luck for a couple of seasons, at least.

Gawd, what a beating MM is. Better Marshall have him than the Big 12.

Last week Tuesday, this week Wednesday...I swear C-USA is so desperate for TV they might start scheduling games for March.

And that game was a lot more exciting than a 7-3 or 14-9 SEC snoozefest.

 

[Bubbler]

He likes walking the sideline because he keeps getting older, they keep staying the same age.

Indiana at Illinois, noon Eastern.

 

[Oz]

He likes the women at the postgame parties because he keeps getting older, they keep staying the same age.

I love that there are three spellings for McConaughey on this thread. 8)

Wolfrack up 24-20 late in the fourth. Gat damn I love the ACC beating itself into mediocrity. Here's to a 7-5 Wake playing a 7-5 Miami in front of 13,000 at the Ass Clown Conference championship game.

Chuck Amato cracks my **** up.

"Coach, what can you say about your young quarterback -- making just his second start."

"Ice. Ice."

I liked his response to the critics

"What critics?..................What critics? I have no idea what you're talking about."

Hasn't had time to notice -- he's looking for non-qualifiers.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Is Phil Fulmer really favored tomorrow, or is my assistant SE on drugs?

Good answer about Evans. I understand the power of positive thinking, Chuck, but he knows he has critics.

Great ... now Amato will never leave. :-[
