So Cam Newton is a pretty amazing college football player right now. You all know the story of how he is from Atlanta and went to play for the Gators out of high school. Got in mucho trouble in Gville and eventually left. He did not show the same dazzle when he was a Gator by the way. On to junior college and then the "pay for play" sweepstakes that took him to Auburn. From what I read today, Auburn is about to be in the biggest bunch of trouble any college football team has ever been in before. Cam Newton is just one little needle in the haystack of corruption that is being uncovered by both the NCAA and the United States government. It will be ugly for college football, especially "down south" and the SEC. By the way, Cam's father is the ultimate bad word. A preacher who shopped his son like a pimp and hides behind his church. Yuck.
Got a little UCLA vs Washington tonight and the Bears are at Miami for the NFL alternative.
They are trying to make a big deal that a couple of lame big 10 teams are playing at Wrigly Field. Who cares? I've been a Cubs game there and that was cool, but the big 10 is overrated and so is playing a game in a stadium that really doesn't fit a football field.
Florida get Appalachian State on Saturday. The Gators BETTER score some points or look out.
FSU gets another prime time Saturday night game, at Maryland. FSU has to beat Maryland and hope that NC State loses to either the Tar Heels this week or Maryland next, IF they want to play in the ACC championship game.
Nebraska @ Texas A&M could be interesting. I sure hope Iowa beats Ohio State so I don't have to hear that "best 1 loss team" crap.
Quick side note, in addition to the football tonite, UCF is beat USF in basketball and in the men's soccer playoffs. Cool :)
One more bball note. I do not like Ohio State, but they have a freshman center (Sulligan?) who is an absolute beast. He manhandled the Gators in a big way the other night.
Oregon had a nail biter at Cal the other night, but with OSU folding, the Ducks are cake walking into the BCS title game. The question will be who gets to play them. I expect Auburn's luck to run out, either in the Iron Bowl or the SEC title game, or even both. Then Boise St, TCU, LSU, Stanford, Big 12 winner all start fussing and campaigning. Stanford is tough, but the Pac 10 may be a bit weak overall. Please just don't put some big 10 team in there...
I should have mentioned how good EJ Manuel played last week while Ponder was out. EJ may be the best back up QB in the country!
High school playoffs all around the country tomorrow night! :)
