I'm trying not to get horribly excited about K-State's ranking. I mean, I'm gratified, but #20 is way too high for a team that should be 3-1 if RG3 realizes he's a mortal quarterback. And considering they're still facing the real meat of their schedule -- I'm just enjoying this while I can. (And is it just me or did every damned football coach this weekend forget how to run a 4-minute drill? Run. The. Ball. Idiots.)
I'm still not entirely sold on the Big 12 longevity project either. It'd be nice to believe, what with contracts being signed and all, but weren't we here 13 months ago? I'm torn between wanting conference stability and for someone to just hurry up and kick the whole thing over and expedite the extinction of the NCAA. A man can dream.
The Chefs are just...baffling right now. I know I shouldn't be excited about a team that manages one offensive touchdown (assisted by Minnesota tackling brought to you by Crisco) and a torrent of field goals, but it's a damn improvement. Breaston is promising, but there's only so much he can do when he's got a lawn chair and umbrella in the end zone and Cassel's riding the Herp train all the way to Derpville. (I like to imagine that his argument with Haley involved multiple uses of the word "brah.")
I don't know what Ryan Succop really looks like, but I'm imagining him a lot like Neville Longbottom now.
I'm thinking it's a two-club race to the bottom between Indy and the Vikes, maybe Miami, and at least the Vikes have options at QB. Indy's just been unhinged since the untimely decapitation of Peyton Manning; I expect his head to turn up in a jar a la Futurama at some point. And they're going into tonight with just two QBs -- behind their line, that's about five too few. But I'm still not sure; based on last week, there are a ton of teams willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I imagine Luck is considering taking an icepick to his ACL after this weekend (nice receiving TD, though).
Also, DAMMIT OHIO STATE can't you keep your players eligible for JUST THIS ONE WEEKEND? If there isn't a Buckeye logo in the NCAA rulebook next to "lack of institutional control" then just start cutting these kids checks and drop the pretenses already.
Time for Ambien. Which is just what Tony Romo said at this time yesterday, I think.
This really is the most wonderful time of the year.
