Glitz' Guy of the Week/Year

Since it is the last Wednesday of 2010, I thought I would honor someone extra special. This individual was chosen after I read an article posted on ESPN Los Angeles' website.

Here is the article: http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/news/story?id=5955762

Congrats to an everyday hero, Jake Olson. You truly are inspiring.

Glitz Guy of the Week

I'm proud of myself. Back to consistent blogging...okay "consistent" but still.

You would think. Heisman. She'll go with Cam. Yeah. No. Never going to happen. They can win the NCS Championship game. He can break every college football record, and it still wouldn't happen. However, in honor of the Cardinals finally winning a game, this week's GOTW is none other that PK Jay Feely.

Thanks for winning the game for the Cards.

Feely played college ball at Michigan which is now a Big 10 "Legend."

Glitz' Guy of the Week...for real this time ;)

Yeah. Yeah. I know. Excuses. Excuses. Blah. Blah.

Today's Guy of the Week is...well not even human. He is just THAT good.

You may have heard of a little player known as Troy Polamalu, but have you head of Troy's hair?!

Troy's hair is pretty epic, which makes Troy even more epic. That being said, follow Troy's Hair on twitter (@troyshair).

Last year, I mentioned on here that Riley Cooper had the prettiest hair in college football- well now Riley is in the NFL (plays for the Eagles) and he cannot compete with @troyshair. MVH in the NFL (despite Riley's Prince Charming hair) also gets awarded to Troy's hair.

Speaking of hair....check this out :) http://bit.ly/iacRYj

Glitz Guy of the Week

It has been WEEKS since I did a GG of the Week. But, I do have all the ones I had intended to write about on file, so stay tuned!

Also- a BRAND NEW Guy of the Week this Week in his very own post.

Glitz' Guy of the Week

Last week I was indecisive- this week. Easy as pie...or cake? Birthday cake :)

USC QB Matt Barkley started off the CFB season with an impressive 5 TD throws and threw for 257 passing yards.

As the #1 QB in the Pac-10, Barkley has the honor of serving as Glitz' Guy of the Week.

It also happens to be his 20th birthday.

Glitz' Guy of the Week

I have been thinking about this since LAST week. I know my guy of the week for the next few weeks, but this was a toughie.

Week 1. College Football. The obvious answer is the entire USC Football Team! Who I know will rock it on the field against Hawaii tomorrow night!

Lots of love and Fight On!

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.

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. 

Glitz' Guy of the Week

Hey everyone! So Monday morning, after an interesting weekend of football, I KNEW who my guy of the week was going to be.  However, in a split-second, life changes. 

This week's Guy of the Week is USC Senior Stafon Johnson. On Monday afternoon, Stafon was injured in a weight-lifting accident. After a 7-hour long surgery, he is alert and rested. While he will not be back on the field this year, he is very deserving of this honor.

I know that he will be back at 100% soon enough. My thoughts and prayers will continue to go out to Stafon on his family.  

PS: Stafon joined Twitter today to thank everyone for their love & support. You can follow him @stafon13

Glitz Guy of the Week (Fri & Sat)

Sorry guys. Internet was down yesterday, and today has been nuts. Congrats to 'SC for another W. Guy of the week to conclude the week-long blitz. I think I am going to stick with Wednesday for these posts. It seems like a good day, plus this week Wed was a USC guy, who commented back (Thanks Alex!)

Friday: Pete Carroll for being plain old awesome! I don't even know how to summarize this. 

Saturday: The BOY Matt Barkley. So glad he played today. This kid is gonna be amazing for the new few years. 

Thanks for reading guys! Congrats to 'SC for getting the W tonight!

Glitz' Guy of the Week

It is very funny how things work out with my theme...this afternoon it was announced that an 'SC Alum and current AZ Cardinal (my two faves!) was named as the College Football Athlete of the Decade by Sporting News.

So in congratulations to Matt, and to continue on with the theme of the week...Glitz' Guy of the Week for Thursday is:




                                                                          Matt Leinart

Glitz' Guy of the Week Wed Edition

This is totally a random one, but def worth the honor :)





To a super 'SC Trojan Alex Holmes for being very awesome and teaching me something new about my mac. You are a rockstar! For those of you who might not be aware, Mr. Holmes was on both 'SC teams that won NCs (03, 04)


Fight on!



PS: I am trying to get my 'SC fans all pumped up for Saturday's game. To rally up and support our Trojans! The GOTW for the rest of the week will be a Trojan...past or present.

xoxo Glitz

Glitz' Guy of the Week Kickoff (Mon & Tues)

I had a draft of this written, ready to publish, and I had a last minute change of heart. I'm also doing Glitz' Guy of the DAY for the rest of the week.

I let out a teaser on Twitter (@glitzandblitz) earlier today, and I am following thru...

There are two guys to kick of this weekly post, one for Monday and one for today.

These two guys are busting their butts off in Casa Grande, AZ getting ready for the upcoming UFL season.

Marcus Fitzgerald (@marcusfitz1) and Shane Boyd (@bambino859) are two GREAT guys.

They not only work hard on the field, but they take the time to make a presence to their fan base, and we def appreciate it!


Make sure that you are all on the lookout when the UFL season starts. The guys are playing on the California Redwoods, and their season starts on October 8th when they play the Las Vegas Locamotives.

If you are on twitter make sure you show them love!!


xoxo- Glitz


PS: Their team owner is Nancy Pelosi's hubby and their head coach none other than the impulsive Dennis Green!
