Things I Can Safely Surmise Following The Weekend
November 23rd, 2009 by David Scott (UVA91 DUKE89)What a weekend in sports! Sure, UVa lost in football, but that’s becoming a Saturday theme in my life. Plus, there were plenty of other things to keep me thoroughly entertained as I lay in bed over a Swine Flu-filled weekend …
- It’s much less exciting to watch SportsCenter and those College Gameday shows when UVa is losing and out of the national picture.
- I loved the primetime Pac-10 match-ups on Saturday night. The Oregon/Arizona and Cal/Stanford games provided some quality entertainment on an otherwise boring day of college football.
- How are the Colts still undefeated? I know they have Peyton and everything, but still, can we start calling them the Cardiac Colts?
- What is Virginia Tech going to do next year when Darren Evans, Ryan Williams and David Wilson all decide they want more carries?
- It’s a minuscule aspect of the game, I know, but for some reason whenever quarterbacks wear the “robot” facemask, like Oregon’s Jeremiah Masoli, it really bothers me. I mean don’t those two vertical bars affect his vision when he looks to throw?
- Whose Cadillac seat warmer is pumping the most heat right now: Charlie Weis or Rich Rodriguez?
- As I watched UNC get beat by Syracuse in the Garden on Friday night, I realized that teams better get their licks in on Carolina early, because come February they’re going to look like a completely different basketball team.
- I know it’s ridiculously early and there are still some 70 games left in the NBA regular season, but let’s give some love to the Atlanta Hawks. Mike Woodson has his club playing good basketball in a city where basketball has taken a back seat to football and baseball for years.
- Dear Les Miles, you are a moron. You would have never won that MNC without the bevy of talent Nick Saban left you with. You’re ineptitude as a head coach will be the sole reason your LSU teams will never win another title so long as you’re there. Sincerely, UVA91 DUKE89
- I think my roommate (a Texans fan) is the only person on the entire eastern seaboard excited for tonight’s Monday Night Football game.
- Did anyone else get the feeling Florida and Alabama were watching the national scoreboard on Saturday and trying to out score one another?
- I said about two months ago that the Cutler to Chicago trade would work out well for all parties involved … I was wrong.
- If my math is correct, two basketball victories in a two-day span successfully cancel out one football loss. So all-in-all, it wasn’t that bad of a weekend for UVa fans.
