College football -- 10/12-14

What's really funny is that UMiami is one of the finer private universities in the country. Yet, by watching that tape and listening to that goon you'd think they were another UNLV-like degree factory. It amazes me that some of the more prominent alums of that school dont get down on their knees and get in Shalala's face about the behavior of this program and what an utter disgrace they are.

They've made their choices.

Oh yeah, and major props to Wlat Harris-led Stanford for hanging a big, fat 53* on Arizona yesterday.

* - that would mean 53 yards total - TOTAL - offense.

I heard something incredible from their radio crew one night as the Fightin Trees were getting waxed by Navy. Stanford had a three-year stretch in which it signed zero scholarship wide receivers.

If Shalala didn't let Barry Alvarez recruit gangbangers at Wisconsin, she can put her foot down here.

Everybody knows the band members are the badasses in Madtown.

It just seems kind of sad that Ron Franklin, once The Voice of ESPN's Saturday night primetime game, just finished calling Boise State-New Mexico State on a Sunday night.

Better game than a lot of Saturday night games. More fun, anyway.

Just saw where NMSU's QB goes 49-65, 526 yards, and still lose by 12.........considering Mumme's the coach, no surprise........look what he did with Couch.

Is it time to fire up the Tommy Tuberville going to Miami rumors?

Does Lamar Thomas still have a job today?

Does Lamar Thomas still have a job today?

He's still in the press box at the "OB." He's ripped off his shirt - ala Ed Orgeron - and is screaming down to the field, "Yeah baby! You know you don't want none of this! That's what I'm talkin' bout!"

The groundscrew is kind of confused.

Rutgers is pretty good, but to assume that a 5-7 winner wouldn't beat them (in WVU's case , a home game ) seems a little bit disingenuous.

Rutgers isn't necessarily the one I'd be worried about if I were WVU or Louisville.

Pitt's offense is moving the ball like there's no defense on the field lately. Palko is playing for draft position.

Remember, Pitt's only loss was to Sparty before the heart dropped out of their chests.

I think we'll find out about that when the play Saturday. I haven't seen Rutgers yet, but I have seen Pitt and I won't be sold until they knock off somebody at a little higher level. Who is the best opponent they've beaten this year? Syracuse? That was the 8th consecutive conference loss for the Orange.

Pitt can score. Palko is extremely efficient and despite not having a great arm, he throws a nice deep ball and he can make big plays. More importantly, they actually have a strong offensive line for the first time in about a decade.

They also have some studs on defense like H.B. Blades and Darrelle Revis.

It's just a matter of doing it against a quality opponent, something Pitt hasn't done yet this season.

Tommy Tuberville gets mentioned everywhere.... just wait. Les Miles will go to Michigan when Carr retires -- yup, Tubby will be mentioned for LSU after leaving Auburn for Miami...
