WTF?

Saturday Night. I think that sums it up nicely.

the prettiest hair in college football...

I cannot believe I am doing this. I am praying one of my Pac 10 readers finds a Pac 1o player to replace this, but I cannot help it...

Riley Cooper, a Gator, has the prettiest hair in college football. Saturday night, I was going back and forth between the fight for #2 in the Pac 10 and the game that most people dubbed "the REAL National Championship Game" It pained me really, but the Pac 10 game, well I am still not over it so I need to talk about Cooper's pretty hair ;) There was a moment during the game, where Cooper was on the sideline (I think talking to UM) and he pulls off his helmet and his hair is just so perfect and flowy. Joshua (of Bumpshack fame) compared to to the scene in Shrek when Prince Charming takes off his helmet. I totally agreed.

So ladies and gent...unless you can find me a PAc 10 player with prettier hair, the 'Glitz Prettiest Hair in CFB Award' goes to Mr. Riley Cooper.

recap...

So I am getting ready for this super late USC game, and I just want to recap the weekend's highs and lows.

#25 Ole Miss

#24 UNC

#21 Utah

#18 Clemson

#12 Okalhoma State

#9 Pitt

#7 GT

All lost. At this time

#20 USC

These teams are currently playing or about to start playing.

Should be interesting to see what happens in the rankings tomorrow.

Fight On!

Down.

Down. I feel blue.

I shouldn't let a shitty (sorry dad) season get to me, but I have. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it does. A third loss. To Stanford. WTF.

But, these losses, make you realize that your team isn't always going to be #1. In USC's case the BCS will never let us be #1, but you get where I am going with it. I blogged about expectations at some point last summer, and I think that has helped me process the losses, but it's still frustrating.

Football used to excite me, with every W, I would get excited about the following weeks conquest, but now, I am somber and I just wait it out. It's like the tornado watches when I lived in Atlanta. We would watch- eyes glued to the TV waiting to see if a storm was spotted our way. The anxiety of the unknown.

But what sucks even more is, that my love for college football, has always surpassed that of NFL. There is just this different level of excitement for me..

Anyway, in this "down" time, I have neglected my Cardinals. The Cardinals who won yesterday, making the first Cardinals team since 1975 (I think this is correct) to win 5 consecutive away games. Congrats!!!! I also think it might be the first time in history that this late in the season, the Cardinals have the same record as USC.

Anyway, all this being said, I am going to make a better effort to blog. Win or Lose.

Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Vent Fest....

Where do I even start? USC playing sub-par football? The refs screwing over many teams? Thank goodness I'm not a coach or I'd get fined for saying that ;)

The list can go on and on, but I will start with this. Sure USC has been playing sub-par football, but how can LSU and I will quote my good ole twitter bud @uscpsycho "LSU is only team in top 15 that hasn't beat a ranked team. Plus they have 2 losses. So why are they #9? Seriously...???"

Granted both teams have 2 losses, but USC has beat THREE ranked teams, lost one game to a team that was unranked and the 2nd loss was to a top ten team....explain that one to me?

I don't even think I can start on the refs. Not just the stupid calls they make against USC, but the calls they don't make when it comes to other teams...like UF. Calls that could have caused outcomes in games...sure the refs get penalized, but does that help Arkansas? Who could have WON that game..

Oh. ASU fans. Learn some respect, and learn to spell. Granted, I am not the biggest fan of Corp (3rd string USC QB) but I am not mean about it. At last nights USC v ASU game (if you want to call it that) some kid has a sign that said:

Anybody

But

Cullivan

Now I don't know if they were trying to be funny and reference Couples Retreat, but still..

Let's move on to my Cardinals. Surprisingly enough, other than Leinart's interception, there's no complaints there... :)

Had to get that off my chest, now I can enter the week with some serenity and a ton of hope.

USC Game Day :-D

Perfect weather for football.

Heading out to Sun Devil Stadium in the next hour or so...

Can't wait to see my Trojans play.

I'll be tweeting live from the game.

Glitz' Guy of the Week

I keep coming back to my USC boys on this topic, and I cannot help it. So, I get home on Monday, and after being without ESPN for a few days, I see all this "drama" surrounding a hot dog and Mark Sanchez.

What's the big deal?? It's a hot dog, and don't you WANT your players to be energized?? Who wants a player who feels lightheaded and dizzy because he hasn't eaten.

Hot dog aside, I was never the biggest Sanchez supporter. There is not sugarcoating it. You can probably go back on this blog, and see the times when I criticized him.

As happy as I am now with Barkley, I really thought Sanchez should finish out at 'SC. Well, he didn't listen to me (hehe) and he is making quite a name for himself in the NFL.

So that being said, Mark Sanchez has the honor of being Glitz' Guy of the Week.

MIA

Sorry I have been MIA you guys. Things have been hectic, and I was out of town for a few days.

I am back and ready for actions.

My Cards are on fire, as are the Trojans, and this weekend should be a GREAT weekend of football. More on that later...

Glitz' Guy of the Week

Another great week of football (minus the USC break). This was a sad one, but it goes out to a guy who had to be on the field Sunday with a heavy heart.

Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Coordinator coached on Sunday, only a few days after his wife Vikki passed away. The Bengals won the football game, and Coach Zimmer was awarded the game ball. 

Coach Zimmer has Pac 10 ties, as he coached at Washingston State from 1989-1993. 

sacrifices....

If Perez Hilton, or any big-time blogger were in my shoes tonight, they would not have blown it.

I my friends, blew it. One table. Less than a FOOT away from me...sat a table full of athletes from a certain local sports team. One of those athletes just happened to be a NC with a certain Pac-10 team. 

First the tourists appoached them, then slowly every table around us approached them...then the cougars (duh I live in "Cougartown"), and lastly the little kids..which the little kids is totally understandble....

I was observing their reactions to being approaced while they were eating, and realized it was so not worth it. 

So like the mature adult that I am, I let them eat in peace.

I could have promoted the blog, but I didn't. 

That's it.
