Weekend Review #10: the worst day of my life

For a few brief moments everything appeared to be restored in college football.




Notre Dame was atoning for the blown call at the end of the Stanford game, but alas it was not to be. After a miraculous ND fumble in the end zone, the Pitt kicker missed an easy field goal. The next overtime, the kicker made the field goal but ND took it in for a touchdown.


And that's all she wrote. Now we have NBC announcers referring to Notre Dame as a "team of destiny". This must be how Job felt. The BCS must know it's time is short so it's fucking us as hard as possible for the last couple years. At least we're one step closer to watching Notre Dame get scissor-lifted by Alabama.


The ghost of Dave Wannstedt struck again.

A game that was described as "interesting" by someone turned out to be interesting. Underrated Nebraska quarterback Taylor Maritinez was actually doin' some thangs including running and passing for four touchdowns. (And three interceptions.) Things got really interesting though at the end of the game when the refs made a couple questionable calls that lead to a bunch of Spartan players taking to Twitter to air their grievances. Nebraska's win goes a long way to helping them in winning the Legends Division of the Big 10. Currently they're tied with Michigan for 1st place but they have the head-to-head win.

The Kenjon Barner Show came to Los Angeles and was quite a spectacle indeed, running for a conference record 324 yards and 5 touchdowns. Marcus Mariota chipped in a little himself, passing for 306 yards and 4 TDs. On the other side, in a losing effort, Matt Barkley threw for almost 500 yards and 5 touchdowns. That's a lot of touchdowns in case you can't tell. They should go above the Hated Irish in the BCS, but then again probably won't.


Doubters were sad again this weekend as Kansas St. beat Oklahoma State. Your Heisman winner, Collin Klein had a meh day only throwing for 244 yards but rushing for a touchdown. The big news however was when Klein was taken out in the third quarter with a possible hurt arm. If Klein is really hurt this would be a devastating loss for a country still recovering from Hurricane Sandy.

Nick Saban's pact with the Devil helped win another game today as the Tide stole one from the Mad Hatter. Heisman contender AJ McCarron (I'm saying that sarcastically by the way) suddenly came alive in the final minutes of the game to lead Alabama down the field for the go ahead touchdown. LSU took over with 51 seconds and with McCarron on the sidelines crying like a little bitch a-la Tim Tebow,

QQ

Tigers' quarterback Zach Mettenberger played possibly the worst fucking drive I've ever seen in my life. With the game on line and no time outs Metternberger threw down the middle of the field burning seconds away as the LSU lined again with virtually no hussle at all. Then in true shit-the-bed fashion was sacked to end the game.

LSU dominated the entire game running about 30 more plays than the Tide but in the end went full on retard.

If even I know it's a fake field goal, Saban does too.

I mad, I mad. Les Miles is going to have to answer some questions about his 4th down play calling including leaving at least 3 points up there. LSU should've won this game but instead pissed away like pissing into the wind and having it blow back on you.

I mad.

The one bright spot of the day was Ohio State's owning of Illinois. Illinois is a Bad Team we all know this, but OSU looked really good. Braxton Miller had a really good day keeping alive his streak of having touchdown plays of 50 yards or more. Illinois did a really weird two point conversion at one point, that worked. They lined up as if they were going for the 2pt conversion, then switched to extra point formation, then faked it for the two point conversion. So they got beat down, but at least they have that going for them. Now OSU is 10-0 and has a bye next week before facing Wisconsin and Michigan. I can't wait to see what happens if they win out. Well I know what will happen if they win out, they'll be sitting at home. But like what'll happen with the AP poll. Also Miller has to be like 2nd in the Heisman ballots right now.

Anyway, fuck today.
