asu...UofA...review

Rain in Tempe makes it so freaking cold. Needless to say...it was very cold last night.

Here is my first comment...


Whether my team is winning or losing I stay to the end.

Last week when 'SC destroyed ASU the stadium was soo empty during the 3rd....this week when they were barely beating UofA it was full.

Support your team. Win or Loss. Support your damn team. Stay til the end. Give them the momentum they need.

This game had it's exciting points, but all in all it was pretty uneventful. The ASU defense had a few good breaks on 4th and a few yards, but it only solidified how much 'SC deserved that Rose Bowl bid! Sorry Sun Devil's fans you can't deny that Carpenter was playing crappy last night.


I am however glad that they do get to share the Pac-10 title. I am glad that they beat UofA.

PS: Stoops has a VERY bad temper.

Sedric Ellis

Yay for Sedric Ellis from the 'SC Trojans. He was named an All-American for the second time!


Less than 48 hours 'til there is some serious Bruin sacking!

Nov 26, 2007

the new top ten...

1. Mizzou plays OU and I think Mizzou has it this time around. They are pumped and will win it!

2. West Virginia plays Pittsburg.

3. Ohio State is sitting pretty waiting for one of the above to fall...for a second week in a row

4. UGA shouldn't be ranked this high.

5. Kansas

6. Va Tech plays BC. I almost forgot that earlier in the season BC was #2

7. LSU plays UT. Geaux Tigers on this one.

8. USC plays [F]UCLA. I think USC will win. Why? 1. 'SC is my #1 2. UCLA lost to ND and 'SC shut them out 3. I know some people say that 'SC lostto Stanford and Oregon and UCLA beat both those teams...that's nice, but 'SC beat everyone UCLA lost to...UofA, ASU, WSU, ND...need I say more?

9. OU plays Mizzou....see #1

10. UF

13. ASU plays UofA...I'm going to this game. I really hope that ASU picks up their chins and plays like champions and not let what my Trojans did to them deflate their egos. They have it in them to beat UofA...I know it!!

"the game" review!






oh wow!


It was seriously the best game I have seen in Sun Devil Stadium all year. Even when ASU beat Cal and they almost knocked down the goal posts.

Now with USC being my #1 and ASU being my #2 it was weird not cheering for ASU at Sun Devil Stadium, but #1 ALWAYS tops #2 and that's just how it went Thursday night!

When we got there the team were just about to go on teh field to warmup and we saw most everyone. I tried to get some good shots, but I didn't get that lucky. The guy sitting in front of me said that I could walk to the tunnel and meet the players, so I dragged my sister along and went, but we had to move 'cause they were closing the gate.

When we scored the first touchdown I had to talk some smack with the ASU fans, but then ASU came back and scored ASAP and I almost went deaf...that wasn't so fun.

It was an exciting game for the most part, partly because it was my first 'SC game in person (not counting ASU beating USC in basketball last Feb) and it was a huge rush.

At the end of the game I was standing at the end zone gate and Deuce Lutui was standing about 5 feet away from me, and then, I caught a quick glimpse of JDB through the gate. Next year, I really want to drive/fly to LA for the
USC v ASU game!

xoxo!

Nov 21, 2007

the new top ten...

I know it's a little late considering 2 top ten teams have already played...but better late than never...

1. LSU lost to unraked Arkansas

2. Kansas plays 4. Mizzou tomorrow. I am all about the Tigers on this one

3. WVU plays 20. UConn and I really don't care about this game. I could go with the whle UConn route because that would leave more room for 'SC to move up :-D

4. Mizzou plays 2. Kansas. See above.

5. Ohio State is bye and praying for a few top teams to tumble...they have at least two off the bat...

6. ASU lost to 11. USC in the best game I have seen in Sun Devil Stadium all year long.

7. UGA is playing GA Teach. I believe UGA's winning streak is about to end tomorrow night! Fight on (lol) Jackets!

8. Va Tech plays 16. UVA and I think in this Va. showdown it's all about UVA

9. Oregon plays UCLA. This is probably the second game all season I want UCLA to win. Two reasons. 1- If Oregon looses 'SC will share the pac-10 title and 2- If UCLA looses they will have more fierce when they play 'SC and we can't have that happen...

10. OU plays Oklahoma State. I feel about this game the same I feel about the WV VaTech game...

I think 1 and 2 will be the winner of Mizzou/Kansas and Ohio State!

tomorrow...

I am not commenting on or about "the game" until I get home from the game.

Nov 18, 2007

cards

Two game winning streak. Can they make it three? I'm going to the game next Sunday when they play the Niners :-D

"O" the L"O"sses

that all i have t"O" say.

Roses anyone?

The game on Thursday is going to be amazing. One of us is going to the Rose Bowl. I cannot wait!

Go Trojans!

Nov 12, 2007

the new top ten...

I am SO on top of my game this week...so this week since my boys are SO close to being back in the "Top Ten" where they deserve to be...the "Top 11"

Like last week the number will be [bcs/ap].

[1/1] LSU plays Ole Miss in a SEC showdown

[2/2] Oregon plays UofA this Thursday. I'll watch this game at my usual Thursday night hangout...the Gym. Now...UofA has had a few almost wins..they ALMOST beat 'SC they beat Washington and UCLA. They can do it if they put their minds to it :-D

[3/4] Kansas plays Iowa State...

[4/3] OU...who plays Texas Tech who should beat OU because I said so?

[5/6] Mizzou plays Kansas State

[6/5] W.VA plays Cincinnati...they DID beat UConn

[7/7] Ohio State...had an ouch week this week can they recover against Michigan? On BCS Breakdown they said this was the first time since...a long time ago that the teams are both going into the "big game" having lost the week before....AND this time last year both teams were undefeated

[8/9] ASU is bye until 11/22 when they play USC [11/11]

[9/8] UGA plays Kentucky who is hoping to get lucky.

[10/10] Va.Tech plays Miami. Tech will win this one. No doubt.

[11/11] USC is bye until they play ASU [8/9] in the game that I have been waiting ALL season for!

Fiesta Bowl...

Could be a possibility for 'SC according to Scott Wolf who was on Petros Papadakis' show on AM 570 in LaLaLand!!

That would be AMAZING. That would giv me a second opportunity this season to see 'SC play. Granted I'd have to get Fiesta Bowl tickets, but still!


I know I am not the biggest BCS fan lately but a BCS bowl is better than some random bowl game.


Only 10 days 'til I get to see 'SC in person!!

Nov 10, 2007

oh wow...

Michigan....UConn....Ohio State


all lost today.


so far.


ASU beat UCLA

and 'SC is playing Cal as we speak.

Fight on!

The Ultimate Football Weekend...

is only two weeks away!!


On 11/22 I get to see my #1 and #2 college teams duke it out on the 3rd anniversary of my 21st birthday :-D

THEN on Sunday 11/25 I get to see the Cards re-beat the niners!


That is going to be the ultimate football weekend! I am beyond excited. I'm already thinking of my ESPN banner and what it's going to say...

NFL and The Cards

I have been superslacking with the NFL posts...I know. It's not because Leinart is out and it's not because the Cards started to lose. I stil lhave faith in them, and the team, but it's just that I am so wrapped up in this dramatic college football season I simply cannot focus!!!


On a happier note...


John Jay and Rich from KISS FM in Phoenix, did a fashion show with Leinart, Fitzgerald and Adrian Wilson...I think those are all the players...there might have been more. Anyway, Matt had his sling off!!!! That made me so happy!

Check out pictures from the fashion show at: www.kzzp.com

the new top ten...

Yeah so I am doing this pretty late considering it's already Saturday...

BCS/AP that's the way I am listing hte rankings :0)

OSU [1/1] plays Illinois and it should be an easy game

LSU [2/2] plays Louisana Tech....and then they say USC has a "weak" schedule

Oregon [3/3] is BYE

Kansas [4/5] plays Oklahoma State...now Oklahoma State is a team that ALMOST beat Texas last week

OU [5/4] plays Baylor..I am pretty sure OU will win but we shall see

Mizzou [6/7] plays the Texas A&M Aggies...I really want Mizzou to win this one

WVU [7/6] beat Louisville....in a game that like many this season...came down to the wire

BC [8/8] will be playing at Maryland. After last weeks loss can they come back and win it?

ASU [9/9] play UCLA at the Rose Bowl. Can ASU come back strong? Si se puede! Go Sun Devils!

UGA [10/10] is playing Auburn. UGA is coming off the UF win....will they let it go to their heads and fall apart on the field? Or will they teach the tigers how it's done in Athens


Side Note: USC [19/12] plays Cal in probably the least exciting 'SC game of the season. Cal has lost two straight and 'SC is coming off a win. I hope...no I KNOW Pete Carroll and the Trojans will dominate!!

Nov 4, 2007

why the BCS sucks....

Does the SEC own the BCS???!?!?!?


I mean seriously.....


IF USC had three losses they SO would not be in the Top 25....ASU lost to a Top ranked team and they droped FIVE spots, but Florida is still ranked ahead of USC with THREE losses?!

They were talking on Gameday that hopefully in 5-10 years they will have a better playoff system...I agree. IT should be like the NFL. Granted there are WAY more teams....but they do it in March Madness with basketball.


I'm totally for a legit playoff system...redraw the conferences if you need to...but rankings are stupid. Strength of schedule doesn't play a part in it because then you wouldn't have teams that are as high up...as high as they are...


Come on...ASU lost one game to TOP ranked ORegon and they drop dramatically....LSU lost to Kentucky and they stay Top 3?!

Anyway...sorry 'bout the vent fest there.


Here is the new BCS rankings:

1- OSU
2- LSU (so wrong)
3. Oregon
4. Kansas
5. Oklahoma
6. Mizzou
7. WVA
8. BC
9. ASU
10. UGA
11. VTech
12. Michigan
13. UCONN
14. UT
15. UF (keep in mind they have three losses)
16. Hawaii (keep in mind they are undefeated behind a three loss UF)
17. 'SC
18. Auburn
19. UVA
20. Boise State

Nov 2, 2007

the new top ten...

OSU (1/1) plays Wisconsin....

BC (2/) plays FSU.....puh-lease

LSU (3/3) plays 'Bama. Now this is probably one of hte hottest games on. The SEC is so unpredicatable lately. Guess who I'm pulling for?

ASU (4/6) plays Oregon (5/4) I am really stoked to see Oregon LOSE!!!!! Not only that...if they lose and do not drop below USC well the BCS really sucks. Please keep in mind Oregon lost to CAL who lost to ASU...so ASU has it and Oregon is going down.

Oregon...see above with a side note...this will be an intense pac-10 showdown

OU (6/5) plays Texas A&M...go Aggies on this one

WVU (7/7) plays Louisville. This could really go eitehr way. IT depends on how each team plays and what they bring to the field.

Kansas (8/8) plays Nebraska....could Kansas be the Boise State of last year?

Mizzou (9/9) at ColoRADo...go tigers!

UGA (10/10) plays Troy....and this is why UGA is ahead of USC?! Troy?! Please

USC (who deserves to be in the Top Ten (ok Top 15) but got screwed over by the BCS) plays Oregon State...who they lost to last year but will defeat this year for onereason if no other...Pete Carroll always wins in the Coliseum in November.

Oct 29, 2007

The ASU game...

I was at the ASU/CAL game Saturday night. What an exciting game.


I seriously had the best fun I have had in a long time. It was great fun cheering for ASU next to CAL's band...and CAL fans.



The Sun Devils take on Oregon this weekend...hopefully they can keep the momentum...strength and speed alive and win!!!


Go Dun Devils.



PS: They play UGA next year....at ASU. Do you KNOW how excited I am for that game?!

the BCS and why its BS

ASU should not be ranked at 4....they have proven themselves better than BC....they SHOULD bew Number 2....ahead of BC..ahead of LSU.


MICHIGAN- back in the Biakabutuka days I was a UM fan. For those few years he played there....now. Michigan lost two games. Understandable. They are still a strong football team. Michigan however lsot to an unranked NOT Division 1 school.


USC- my Trojans <3. How I love them. They play competitive schools. They play a schedule where EVERY team has a chance to go to a bowl game. Even though they lost to Stanford. 1) It ISN'T the biggest upset in college football history and 2) Stanford could play in the Rose Bowl....Appalachian State....not so much.


So, granted USC and MIchigan BOTH lost twice, but for the BCS to put Michigan ahead of a three-loss Auburn, two-loss USC, two-loss 'Bama is stupid. These teams play a tough schedule. Sure they had a bad game...nobody is going to win ALL the TIME...but as far as USC goes....losing two games....one by a touchdown to a top 5 bcs team and the other to a team who yeah sucks but stands a chance of going to the Grandaddy of them all....is stupid...


and putting LSU (although they are a strong team) against this years Sun Devils....lame. LSU barely won the last 2/3 games they played....if USC barely won like that....the BCS would have them out of the top 25 as quickly as you can say BCS.

I know they are struggling a little...I am not asking for USC to be ranked at No. 1...they don't deserve No.1, but I don't think they should be as far down as they are...not when Michigan and Auburn are that much ahead of them.....if Oregon KILLED us...yeah okay, but Oregon beat us by a TOUCHDOWN...it wasn't even a real touchdown....it was SIX points.....



the end.

Oct 23, 2007

the new top ten..

another crazy week.....another shaken top ten....like last week I'll do top ten ap and bcs....frankly I'm digging the AP a little more this year...

Number One Overall...in both polls...OSU....plays Penn State at PSU

BC...#2 in both polls.....plays VA Tech...who us #8 overall

LSU is bye...I think...

ASU....number 4 in the BCS...number 8 in the AP....they play CAL at HOME and its HOMECOMING. I will be at that game and sending my happy spirits onto the Devils.

Oregon...number 5 in both.....plays MY USC. I think I am more nervous for this game than any other game this season...Fight on!

OU....number 6 in BCS...number 4 in the AP....

West VA...number 7 BCS and 6 in AP...plays Rutgers...who just last week shocked USF

VA Tech...number 8....plays BC....one of these teams will lose. It's inevitable....so VA Tech loses...they drop out of the top ten...and if BC loses they will drop a few spots...the curse of Number 2 and 5 this year....

Kansas....number 9. in the BCS (12 in AP)..plays Texas A&M, and those Aggies....lemme tell ya they have it in them...

USF....#10 in the BCS (11 in AP)....play Connnecticut (23)...can USF come back? I think they just might!

UF.....#11 in the BCS (tied at 9 with USC in the AP) play.......#18 UGA (20 in AP)....I have issues....two-loss Florida ahead of a one-loss USC?! Go Dawgs on this one!

and saving the best for last my USC (ranked 12 and 9) plays number 5 Oregon....fight on...ight on...





ASU CAL

Oct 21, 2007

Cards

I only watched the second half of the game today....it was an early game and I was in my Sunday routine...


I didn't see Matty on the sidelines...


I am happy Warner got to play


I am sad that Rackers missed hte field goal


I am really sad we lost with mere seconds.


Such a close game though...


This team is a strong team. I love watching Fitzgerald play football....he is a genius.

the bcs...

flat out sucks



that is all I have to say.


I don't want to hear "schedule strength" as an excuse....



they beat teams like: Kent State, Youngstown State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Bowling Green.....Miss State, Middle Tennessee? Louisianna Tech?! Come on!


I can't bad mouth ASU because they are my #2 PAC-10...


I can't bad mouth Oregon and their schedule that's bad karma...

and putting a TWO LOSS Florida ahead of us?!?

What a way to end a great win yesterday.

Oct 20, 2007

and they are BACK!!!!

this is what I am talking about! This is the Trojans I LOVE to watch!!!!



Shut out! ND! Go Trojans!!!!


38-0


and we are back in it!

wow...

USC (the other usc) lost to VANDY!!!!


and Cincy lost....that three top 25 teams with losses so far...




Ahhh the USC (my USC) game is jsut about to start!!! I am so nervous for them!!


fight on baby!

Oct 18, 2007

the new top ten..

according to the AP (but BCS Rankings will be next to them)

Ohio State....number one in both polls....plays Michigan State....*yawn*...I call OSU

USF....number two in both...lost to Rutgers...ouch...that is sad....it will cost them a few spots.

BC....number three in both polls...is bye...til next week when they play VA Tech

OU...number 4 in AP...number 5 in BCS....plays Iowa State

LSU....number 5 in AP...number 4 in BCS....plays Auburn....GEAUX TIGERS...haha...the battle of the Tigers...only in the SEC..

SC...number 6 in both...plays...Vandy...I'm pretty sure S.Carolina will win

Oregon...number 7 in AP....number 10 in BCS....plays Washington. A strong Washington team who gave both USC and ASU a tought ride the past two weeks. I'm hoping for Washington's sake they win because they kind of deserve it on a PAC-10 faceoff...

kentucky....number 8 in AP....number 7 in BCS....they play UF...can Kentucky get lucky again?!

WV....number 9 in both polls....plays miss state....

Cal....10/12....plays ucla....a crucial pac-10 game....if Cal wins....ucla has one loss against them for pac-10....if Cal doesn't win....it's a double loss for them and they go to 2 losses in Pac-10

The BCS
8. ASU...bye...til they beat CAL at home on 10/27. Go Sun Devils!

USC plays Notre Dame.

Go Trojans! Fight on!

first it was the curse of #5...now the curse of #2

last week it was cal...the week before it was 'SC...this week? USF!!!!


That's Sad. They lost to Rutgers who is not ranked...I wonder what that will do to them in the rankings.


This leaves:


Ohio State, BC, ASU, Kansas and Hawaii as the only RANKED unbeatens.

Oct 16, 2007

and then there were 2..again

The Cardinal Quarterback Curse...

Warner....is OUT! That is so freaking sad...

Tim Hassleback is in.

Elisabeth is coming to the 'Zona...

Poor Matt Leinart. I wish he could magically get better so he can play some football.


I am kinda sorta getting very uneasy about football....but the blog will continue...I mean the SB is in the Valley....


Oh the Traffic I have to look forward to!

Oct 14, 2007

First there was 2...then there was 1...then there was 2.,..now there is 1?!

Leinart and Warner....


the enemy (aka Will Witherspoon) decides to ruin my weekend even more by sacking and injuring Leinart


then there was Warner...

who is going to backup Warner?


Tim Rattay...

Who gets injured a week after Will Witherspoon ruined everything?

Kurt Warner


Who had to play 3 quarters after not even a week of practice?

Tim Rattay...

Will Warner play next week?

Only time will tell.


All I can say Will Witherspoon is the reason the Cards are screwed when it comes to QBs this season.

On a side note: The Cards are still tied for #1

Another side note: I think it is very funny that Will Witherspoon went to UGA...you all know my "love" for SEC football.

I don't get it...

I am very proud of my #2 ASU and their #8 in the BCS


but I was a basket case when I saw the AP poll and the BCS rankings this afternoon.

I really don't agree with it, and I think that it needs to be re-assessed, but what do I know.

I only called the LSU and Cal losses this week.


This isn't about me being angry that USC is not in the "Top Ten" because they have been playing kinda icky.

I just don't agree.

And not to be a hater towards Ohio State because Sia does go there....but how are they ranked #1 when they beat teams like Akron, Kent State, Youngstown State, Washington, etc. The only ranked team Ohio State beat was Purdue...

Boston College...also play a semi weak schedule...

Maybe I am being a little out of line....


PS: Petros Papadakis was very right on with what he said on the BCS Ranking show....mmhmm he sure was.

Oct 13, 2007

upset saturday strike three

Is this the end or is there more to come?!?!?


LSU lost! And I am so glad Kentucky beat them


My Cal/Oregon State theory may have been far fetched but the Beavers and the Bears..

#3-#5 all wins. A WOW win for the Bull


All the top ten won but #1 and #2. I know how it feels.

the new top 5? We shall see after the ASU game. I can tell you this much...I don't know if there will be a perfect season for any of these teams...

It will be interesting in the weeks to come that is for sure. You have to keep in mind the stregth schedule of some of these teams....it's a season for the underdogs...



I will admit the LSU/UK game was insanely intense. I hada feeling Kentucky was gonna win it ;)


and how 'bout 'SC? Okay they gave me a few heart attacks...


quick pause....they just said on FSN AZ that Oklahoma was undefeated...I do recall them losing to ColoRADo,,


ok I need to head out. Will write after the ASU game!

Oct 10, 2007

the new top ten...

my oh my what a mix-up this was..

5/10 top ten teams are 1 loss teams....now the way Saturdays have been lately it really is anyones game.....

LSU..plays Kentucky...two pretty good teams...Kentucky's only loss was to #7 USC (not my usc the other usc) so they stand a good chance against this powerhouse Tiger team.


Cal...plays Oregon State...last time Oregon State played a #2 team and won was...last year.....can they Golden Bears stand up against the Beavers? It's a should watch Pac-10 showdown.

OSU....plays Kent State....that's pretty much a no brainer...go Buckeyes!

BC....plays Notre Dame...Notre Dame is coming off a pretty "big" win agains UCLA. Will the Bruins be the ream to bring down BC?

USF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of my "sister" school. I hope the Bulls keep winning. They play UCF this weekend.

Oklahoma...plays Mizzou....how is a one loss team ahead of a no loss team? I hope Mizzou beats Oklahoma

USC....it's a battle of North and South. Carolina that is.

WV....bye

Oregon....PAC-10 SHOWDOWN....plays Washington State...not betting play money on it but my "play money" is on the ducks!

my USC....my my my....I don't gloat ever....well rarely ever...but they play UofA...it's Parent's Weekend...can these guys step it up for their fans? I mean the past two weeks have been torture. I need one Saturday of really good football....a Saturday where I am not on the edge of my seat feeling sick to my stomach....come on Pete Carroll work your Pete Magic!!

Oct 8, 2007

Does that make Denny Green a Girl?

The funniest conversation of the week...in light of Matt's injury....

(this is not verbatim....but more or less how it went down)

Me: People need to stop being so mean towards Matt. He didn't ASK for all this. You can't blame him for being upset...it's all Denny Green's fault.


dad: How so?

Me: Denny Green acted on an impulse. Matt had one REALLY good quarter and bam! Denny took Kurt Warner's starting job and gave it to Matt....he was impulsive and shouldn't have been. I should know about impulse..i'm a girl..Girl's are impulsive...


Laura: So does that make Denny Green a girl?


Me: *pause* yeah...pretty much




See we STILLL blame Denny for the Cardinal's problems



Side Note: You guys REALLY need to try the new Papa John's Tuscan Pizzas...if you are too lazy to call order online...
Papa John's

They are SOOO good!

An Open Letter to Will Witherspoon

Dear Will Witherspoon-


You suck. You hurt Matt Leinart and that makes me really really mad.

Words cannot explain how upset I am with you right now.


My sports weekend started off awful with the Habs (hockey for those non-hockey folks) and the Trojans and ended with you injuring Matt.


The End.


Go Cards!


xoxo- moi!

Matt Leinart....

got injured while gettijng sacked by some loser Sunday afternoon.


While coming home from the gym, and listening to Cardinal's radio I wanted to really slap some people. Why the hell would Matt Leinart intentionally want to hurt himself to prove a point?!! Why would anyone intentionally hurt themselves when it comes to work (and $$). Even more so....do people intentionally get sacked? I think not...


I hope he gets better. It bums me out that he is "out" for the next few weeks. Hopefully not for the rest of the season...because that...would....suck.


Get better Matty!


Side Note: Go Cards!!! 3-2!

Oct 6, 2007

w...t...f???

A second Saturday filled with upsets...


sadly...USC...my Trojans....lost at HOME to....I can't even say it...I think it's that time of the month...it's that one game in October...like last years OSU...


The day was totally like last year also...the game wasn't on tv....AND the Canadiens lost....today...the Habs lost and then the 'SC scor gave me a panic attack....and ugh!

They had a lot of guys out tho....that really explains it...


next week they will win and get back up there but sadly they are not my top 5 pics of the week...

ASU won...that's good


UCLA lost to Notre Dame...for ND's first win...


That's all I feel like writing about tonight....


The cards play the rams manana....let's pray for a win!

Oct 4, 2007

thursday night...college football

Kentucky (#8) takes the fall as they lost to South Carolina (#11).


no top 25 games tomorrow....

Oct 2, 2007

how 'bout them Cards!

A little faith will take you a long way. I know I have a temper (when it comes to football) and I can be quick to judge, but they pulled it off, and maybe this 2 QB system will work...


have faith in Leinart...Warner....Coach W..Edge....Fitz....Boldin et al


Have Faith Cards fans! This can be their year!

the new top ten...

a lot of new faces :-D

1. LSU...beat Tulane....and jumped USC. This week they plan #9 Florida...a battle of they Top 10...if UF loses that's out of the Top Ten, if LSU loses USC get's #1 back..


2. USC....gave me a freaking panic attack against Washington....that crowd was LOUD. This week they play Stanford and hopefully regain their #1.

3. Cal....oh Cal...how great it is to have TWO Pac-10 teams in the Top 10. They are bye this week and play Oregon State next week.

4. OSU...Sia's school...They should be above Cal..they play Purdue who is coming off a high from beating Notre Dame...lol...do people still get pumped after that win?

5. Wisconsin...overrated...they play Illinois this week...another close call and they will drop again.

6. USF!!!!!! Go Bullls!!! Go Bulls Hockey while I am at it! FAU is who they play...at FAU. My "play money" is still on USF.

7. BC- is playing Bowling Green...not gonna hate on the underdog, but I am pretty sure BC has this one

8- Kentucky- USC as in Carolina....both teams are good. Who can really rep?

9- Florida-plays #1 LSU...read #1 for thoughts...

10- Oklahoma- they play UT who are now #19....if UT wins it is very possible they flip flop spots


ASU is in for another Pac-10 showdown as they play WSU (2-3, 0-2). Go Devils!

Sep 29, 2007

what a day...

Today really was "Upset Saturday" and I won't be surprised if USC drops a little in the rankings come Monday.


I know I recapped most of the "Top Ten" but let's do it again

Won :)

1. USC
2. LSU
6. CAL
8. Ohio State
9. Wisconsin


Lost :(

3. Oklahoma
4. Florida
5. West VA
7. Texas
10. Rutgers

I think that despite winning, Wisconsin will stay the same...too many other teams won like BC will be Top Ten...Kentucky...maybe

Top 5...my prediction..

1. LSU
2. USC
3. Cal
4. OSU
5. BC

It will be interesting in the coming weeks to see what happens. USC had an off game and they are allwoed, but CAL is going to be a tough game as is Oregon. Both teams are good. The Pac-10 all-round is great. ASU trampled Stanford...shocker. ASU most def Top 20 this week....after all the upsets maybe even Top 15.


The USC/ASU game on my birthday (Nov. 22 it's no longer Thanksgiving people!) is sure to be my favorite "ASU" game of the season.




emotional wreck

this is sooooo bad.

USF

I so called it! Haha! Go Bulls! So the way it looks next week WV will be out of the top ten....at least I think. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Sep 26, 2007

the new top ten...

1. USC...no surprise here. I was very happy with the way these guys played on Saturday. I only saw bits of the game, and it's still on DVR to watch before they take on Washington for their 2nd Pac-10 game of the season.

2. LSU...again no surprise that they beat South Carolina. Both teams are good but LSU is...well...LSU. This week for LSU? Tulane. Looks like they will be sitting nice and pretty in the Top Two.

3. Oklahoma dominated Tulsa last week and takes on ColoRADo this week. Not a conference game for them, so if Florida wins they might drop to number 4.

4. Florida...beat Ole Miss last week and play Auburn this week. As I said above I really think if they win this one they should take over the third spot up there.

5. West Virginia is playing USF this week and I have faith that USF will dominate this one...and not just because I have hockey ties there ;) Go Bulls!

6. California....playing RANKED Pac-10 Oregon and even though it's against my football "religion" playing a ranked team in your division means serious bumpage on the polls. How freaking hot will it be if Cal stayed undefeated til they faced 'SC? Could we see two Pac-10 teams in the big game come Jan? You never know :-D

7. Texas....oh Teaxas how I still have not forgiven the team as a whole. They play Kansas State. Wahoo. Good Luck...Jayhawks that is

8. Ohio State...they keep winning. This week? Minnesota (1-3) my gut is with OSU. Go Buckeyews

9. Wisconsin beat Iowa kept their #9...coming up next

10. Rutgers is playing Maryland. It shall be interesting. I will try to post thoughts on it later

Out of the top ten:
Penn State....losing to this years Michigan team...well that will cause you to drop

ASU:

I totally called them being in the Top 25 if they won last week against my least favorite outside of Cali pac-10 team Oregon State. I don't hold grudges or anything.

This week the Sun Devils are playing Pac-10 again and one more win against a division school (Stanford) mean a little bumping up.

I feel bad...

My girl guilt is kicking in and I feel kind of bad for saying that Matt played kind of sucky on Sunday...

It's not even like I said anything MEAN, but with everyone emphasizing it to me...it's hard to not agree.

I think he is going to be amazing in the NFL like he was at 'SC, but it will take time...it's a whole different playing field..

At 'SC you are playing college kids that are mostly your age with your experience in the NFL....you have rookies and you have well...not rookies. You have MVPS and multi Super Bowl winners...you have guys who were alreay in the NFL when some of the 1st and 2nd year guys were still in elementary school...okay maybe not to that extreme, but you get my drift..

puck bunny or hockey honey?

A little football break for hockey!

So...the Habs...3-3 in pre-season pas mal but can be better.


KSU won their first game tho :-D Go Owls! Hoot hoot!

Sep 25, 2007

ugh....

I can't even talk about Sunday...it was so annoying....ok maybe frustrating is a better choice of words. These close games are so "if only they did one little thing differently..."


I...me...and I said this after the 49ers game...Leinart? I love him. He is hands down my all-time favorite quarterback. But he hasn't been "oldMatt" lately...I want tos ee more "Old Matt." The guys in the office refer to him as "your #1 boy Mr. Hollywood" and that irritates me because I know he can play beyond stellar.


The Cards play the Steelers at home this week so we shall see...maybe they will win at home...maybe we can give them big L number uno.

Sep 22, 2007

and the top ten....

USC playing their first Pac-10 game against Washington State....I can't talk about WSU...I don't bad mouth team before games....all I will say is Fight on!

my thoughts?

LSU...is playing the other USC...SEC football...blah blah blah...both team are good but my pick is LSU coming out on top

UF...playin Ole Miss...as of now UF is winning...but there is still plenty of room for surprises..

OU....played Tulsa before today and won

WVU is leading WCU by over 25......in the 3rd quarter...it would be a miracle for WCU to come back and win it.

CAL...is playing U of A....PAC-10 game....I'm pretty partial to both teams...one is a big time rival of 'SC the other of ASU

UT....playing Rice...next...

OSU....is playing their first "official" home game....the kids are back in school and the buckeyes are ready to dominate...they play Northwestern and I think OSU has this one in the bag..

Wisconsin...is playing Iowa....and I honestly know nothing about these two teams so I'll stay neutral

PSU....playing UM....tricky....I think PSU will win but you never know Michigani s coming off a first win of theseason ;)



on a side note...Louisville (#18) is currently on "upset alert"....if it happens that would be L number 2...meaning ASU (my #2 Pac-10 team) might break the top 25.

the pats..

So earlier this week I found out a guy I went to HS with is playing for the Patriots...weird.

I mean he was the ONLY reason we won a game or two my senior year.


haha I will forever heart the North Cobb Warriors.

Sep 17, 2007

flu?

I've had the flu or something flu like all week. It has been misery. BUT the two days I was at my worst (Sat & Sun) were VERY good sports days for me.


USC- walked all over Nebraska

a certain ranked pac-10 team lost....


The ARIZONA CARDINALS Won!


I am told not to get to happy...my heart will be broken....


to all your Cards haters....you HAVE to HAVE FAITH!!!

More after work1


xo- me

Sep 12, 2007

tim tebow

is freaking gorgeous! I'd so turn Gator for him...except for me...liking an SEC team...umm not going to happen.

Sep 10, 2007

oh wow...

I have been gone so I didn't get to post last week. Michigan dropped out of the Top 25...and lost a second time this season...

ouch that has to hurt...who else lost a second time? Notre Dame....


'Sc was off but Tech won again and I was in ATL for that one...

Can the Cards win with 8 seconds left? we shall see...

Sep 3, 2007

i don't get it....

1 USC (62) 1-0
2 LSU (2) 1-0
3 West Virginia (1)
4 Texas 1-0
5 Michigan 0-1
6 Florida 1-0 1276 0
7 Wisconsin 1-0 1192 0
8 Oklahoma 1-0 1166 0
9 Virginia Tech 1-0 1148 0

12 California 1-0 790
13 Georgia 1-0 782
14 UCLA 1-0 605
15 Tennessee 0-1

how the hell do you get defeated by a D2 and still be top 5? ahead of a lot of schools who blew out teams this weekend. I have to say I am really shocked at the AP.

Sep 1, 2007

ouch...

Michigan losing to App State? Did not see that one coming.

21-3

I seriously don't know what was happening the other night. Not even a touchdown? This is sad. Hopefully the season will be better

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SATURDAY!!!!!

I woke up this morning SO excited because i'ts the first Saturday of college football!!


USC WILL beat IDAHO


I am going to the Arizona State game and I am pretty much thinknig it will be a no brainer for the Sundevils....

Other teams I think will win....based on favoritism...opinion...not like most people predict wins...


Ohio State, Michican, UGA, UF, Cal, and GA Tech.

Let's see how good I do this week...I'll try and pick my top 25 favorites next week.

Fight on!


PS: I am watching the VT game and I hope they win for the school's sake...always remeber.

Mr. Vick

Now. All I have to say is...he deserves to get the max sentence for what he did. He murdered those poor dogs and it's freaking rediculous that all these celebrities get the minimum sentence for their law breaking (in Vick's case dog murder).


I mean Nicole Ritchie got the minum 4 days for 2nd DUI and only served like 82 minutes?? That's not even two hours!!! (Thanks Perez)


So basically it's crap. And it sucks. Normal people get screwed over and the rich and famous can go back to their glam lifestyles.


Anyway... will write more when its not 3:30 A.M and I can write a more hardcore argument!

Aug 18, 2007

oh sigh....oh my....

The Cards are 0-2 in pre-season....



at least leinart threw 7 for 7.


Hoepfully the reg season goes better. I am however happy I wasn't at the game today. It would have made me really sad :(


Peace.x.o.x

Who Rocks the House...

The Trojans Rock the House! 'And when the Trojans rock the house they rock it all the way down!


Okay sorry the nostalgia of high school cheerleading came over me...not that I was ever a cheerleader, although I did try-out for mascot my senior year..


Anyway.

Back to football and why the Trojans rock the house. And why the BCS (well USA Today's Coach's Poll) pretty much owns right now. Let's count 'em down kids...

10. Ohio State
9. Va Tech
8. Oklahoma
7. Wisconsin
6. West Virginia
5. Michigan
4. Texas (ew)
3. Florda (see below)
2. LSU
1. USC

Yeah it pretty much made my day and made me even more excited for the season opener against Idaho....I mean c'mon it's Idaho...we can compare the teams on a later date...closer to the game.

I'm really stoked to see the new froshies Coach Pete picked. I'm also excited to see a little more of MS. But what's up with BSU being ranked so low? I mean below UGA, FSU and TCU? C'mon coaches what are you thinking? The little team that could!

The Florida Note: So this blog is a girl's football perspective, but what else would be fun? What about a gay males? So I introduce to you my resident GAYtor Boy. Whose slogan is: Don't be a GAYtor HAYtor. He will pop in from time to time and put in histwo cents about SEC football, since....well let's face it, the south never got me hooked on SEC football.

So 'til next time

Ciao!

Countdown to Kickoff

I graduated university in 2005, from a smaller school in the SE. When I was looking at where I wanted to go at 16, I was deadset on one of the school having a football team. Before anything else, that was rule number one.

Needless to say, the school I went to had no football team (but we did have a ACHL National Championship Hockey Team!! I love you boys!) so I adopted the team of one of my "top choices". Thus was born the USC football fan in me.

As for professional football. Since moving to Arizona, the Cardinals have become my team. I was never a fan of the team in my previous city, actually, I wasn't fanatical about any of the sports teams in my previous hometown. The Cardinals however gave me hope, and I think they will really surprise everyone this year.



With the preaseason already started, there are only 29 days 'til the Cards open their season (Monday night Football!) and only 20 days 'til USC starts their season off at home against Idaho!

Goodmorning Footbal Fans

I am coming "live" to you from sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

From since I can remember I have always loved football. My dad (Coach Dad) used to coach, and I remember always wanting to go to practice with him.


My uncle (Uncle Pea) played football. Also since I can remember, and he played up until he finished his senior year of college in '96.

But my love for football, does not interfere for more my love of being girly. My writing style can be "girly" and my thoughts from football can be pretty non=traditional, so kick back and relax as I take you into the world of football from the perspective of a lady!
