Mook vs Boise St & Oregon

The world & the BCS are against Boise St.
They are pointing to the weak schedule they have ahead - but what about the games they have already played?
Did Ohio St beat anyone? Did Nebraska? Ok Ohio st beat Miami, but they're probably not better than VaTech, and it wasn't on the road.

Boise St has just flat out won. When was the last time they lost a game?
They've beaten the bog programs too. They beat Oregon last year, so why is Oregon so far ahead of them?

Certainly this isn't last year, but Boise St returns almost everyone from last year, so that should give them some credit to at least get a chance...

Oregon did lose to Ohio St last year too - so maybe i should rank Ohio state above them, but i'm not going to. Oregon has killed everyone they have played. They're game against Stanford was impressive- because they were down - big time. And they came back. They're offense is explosive.

The Pac-10 is the best conference. The Big 10 is weak. Hey, i'm from bigten country. i love the big ten. But they're not that good. Arizona crushed Iowa.
The Pac 10 has done well. UCLA killed Texas also.

Oklahoma should have a gripe too. They have played the toughest schedule so far (of teams winning games - Toledo, Oregon St, and probably some other crappy team in there have played a tougher schedule).
But OU killed Florida St- made them look like fodder- but surprise, they may make it to a BCS game and top ten ranking by the time the season is done. They beat Air Force who is getting ranked as they deserve ane Texas - which was at one point top 5

But i don't think the BCS wants Boise St there. They will win. What are they going to do when Boise St and TCU beats all these teams they are supposed to lose to and goes undefeated?
i don't think ESPN wants Oregon there either - it all goes back to East Coast bias.

i'm glad Bama lost, and i hope Ohio St loses and even Oregon (that conference will be tough to escape w/o a loss). Nebraska & OU will at the very least play each other for the conference championship...
Ah, a playoff would be great - but even then i'm sure they'd find a way to screw the small market team - it's all about the Benjamins isn't it?

Mook vs PTI

i love the show PTI.

My friend Dan introduced it to me, or convinced me i should like it. And i started watching, and it was great! i signed up for ESPN insider so i could watch the episodes i miss (though they don't show the highlights- boo!).

But this blog will be like PTI featuring highlights from the last 2 weeks

Dallas disaster: Wade Phillips should have been fired after that game. They gave it away- twice. i always say why not try one last bomb with 3 seconds left, but a swing pass?

Calvin's Catch: Everyone knows that was a catch. Why not just give them the score. Tough year to be a Detroit fan i guess. First Galaraga loses his perfect game, then the Lions make a great comeback only to have it taken back

Vick/Kolb: Even though Vick has done well, you have to keep Kolb as the starter. He earned the job and fits the system.

Pete Carrol: biggest surprise of week one has to be the Seahwaks win over the 49ers, and not only a win, but a blowout. What can Carrol do with this team?

Jets: Looked horrible in week one, but they looked great this week. They talked a bunch, so it was fun to watch them lose

on to college

Hesiman watch: Terrelle Pryor did excellent running & passing, but Denard from Arch-rival UofM outplayed him. His performances should only continue. He may not be the best player in the game, but he will end with the best numbers. And his play that actually looks like the heisman can only help.

Boise St: The loss by Va Tech has to sting. And Ohio St beating Miami, and a big ten that doesn't look that strong. i think we'll see Ohio St playing Alabama for the championship... Boise St may wind up playing an unbeaten Oregon team in the end... and i predict TCU vs Texas. The playoff debate will continue

baseball is still going on

Tulo or CarGo: If the Rockies make the playoffs, one oe these guys has to be considered. Car Go is pretty close to a triple crown, but Tulo has really been the heart of the team. By the way i called the Rockies winning that division a month ago

Jeter: people fake getting hit by a pitch happens all the time. And replay for something so inconsequential as that?

And that's a rundown.
