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."

The Season(s) So Far...

The Cardinals (and the NFL)

I must say I am pretty disappointed in the Cardinals. Especially DA. Am I going to admit that Matty L was being a diva/drama queen? Possibly. Coach Dad always taught me to think before I speak. Something that I try to adhere to- that being said, Matty should tried to do the same. I am not saying it wasn't difficult for him, but if we could rewind back to August, when everything went nuts, and hit pause. Maybe Matty would have a starting job right now. Side note: If Matt EVER played as badly as DA has been playing, he would have been benched within a few plays. Lesson learned? We'll just have to wait and see.

Overall I am just unimpressed and unmotivated with the NFL. It isn't because the Cards have lost two game back to back. Because every week, I do my picks, I ALWAYS pick the Cardinals. I think it just stems from the whole Matty L thing, and then just being overly busy in general. While the Cards can very well go to the Super Bowl and win, and USC cannot play in the post-season, the college game is way more appealing.

USC Trojans

One.Point.Loss. What the heck?

That can pretty much sum up last night. Second year straight losing to Washington. A team that we beat 56-0 in 2008. I can't explain it. Is it the defense? Some may argue yes. The offense? Again, some may argue yes. Regardless, these boys are playing with heart. A lot of them could have said "Peace Out Bitches!" and quit the team when sanctions hit, but the kids are great. I am proud of them...even the ones that miss extra points & field goals, fumble the ball, throw interceptions, etc. I. LOVE. THEM. Fight ON!

Draft DAy 2010

Is on Thursday April 22...that really puts a dent in my plans.

My options are coming home and live blogging, or going to the Cardinals Draft Day Party :)

Will keep you guys posted!

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.

nine-o tweet of the week

This one made me chuckle

"OMG one of my teammates just ask me do lobster and crab come from the same water cause he thing he saw a lobster at his house in a CREEK lol"

Don't forget if you are not already following @ddockett on Twitter....do it! 

Can you feel it?

Only TWO weekends left. TWO weekends! Factor in that the Cardinals play on Saturday, that is one more Saturday that is without football.

Then, it's off to find a new Saturday hangout to watch 'SC games.

Sept. 5....so close yet so far way.
