Monday Morning Madness
Monday Morning MadnessA WEEKLY LOOK AT THE WEEK THAT WAS AND WILL BE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL


BY DAN THE MAN LEACH ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

STATEMENTS MADE-

No sooner than the college football season started were we shown why we love it so much. In what other sport can a 30 point underdog go on the road to a storied program in Oxford , Mississippi on a beautiful day and shock the H out of them. You have to give it to the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, gigity gigity.

One of the greatest nicknames in sport took it to another level on Saturday as Denard - who throws a “Shoelace” Robinson ran 29 times for Michigan record 197 yards and looked like the physical embodiment of a non-insane Mike Vick, a stronger Pat White, and a confident Justin Beiber. Yes it was only one win, but Michigan fans have reason to celebrate and not worry about their team being a train wreck at least till next Saturday in South Bend.

Yes North Carolina had more players suspended than a weightlifting event at the Olympics, and those players deserved to be off the field , but most teams would have folded under the pressure. Instead the Tar Heels played inspired football against LSU and came within a Trent Reznor Razor’s Edge close of actually winning the game. I think that says a ton about their coach Butch Davis and the fortitude and commitment to excellent that he has instilled in Chapel Hill.

. ARGUMENTS LOST-

Florida it looks like even though most of the World as well as some residents of Saturn and former planet Pluto hated Tim Tebow, he really was that important to your offense.

Yes the fighting Wannstedt’s were three point plus dogs going into Provo to play the Utes and yes Utah had won as many games at home in a row as there are great mustaches in 70’s porn, but this was a game that they should have won if any of this talk of Pitt as a national power again was going to start to get any steam.

I often wonder how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop. If you lick it with your girlfriend does that count, or does it have to be a solo affair. Does the sucker have feelings? Cause if so then I feel bad when I bite into it after the 6th lick.

EARLY LOOK AT KEY MATCH UP’S THIS WEEK
(CURRENT BETPHOENIX.COM LINE IN BOLD)
Rated on a 1-5 Happy Rosh Hashanah Apple’s and Honey scale

MICHIGAN AT NOTRE DAME-- (NOTRE DAME - 4)

The Wolverines opened with a bang in their demolishing of UCONN and a new star was born in Denard “Shoelace” Robinson. Now they go to hated rival Notre Dame looking for a signature win. The Irish have a sick new QB of their own in Dayne “Touchdown Jesus” Crist who many feel is already better than Brady “Mighty” Quinn ever was. This should be a classic and I just don't see how ND is going to be able to stop Robinson, so they will have to match points on the scoreboard and that could be a lot after they only scored 23 against a weak Purdue defense.

4.2 Apple’s and Honey on Michigan plus the points

FLORIDA STATE AT OKLAHOMA ( OKLAHOMA -8.5)

The Jimbo Fisher era at FSU started with a bang even though it was only against Samford, but the Noles looked insanely explosive on offense and the first game without Bobby Bowden roaming the sidelines since the Civil War has the fan base fired up. Now FSU goes to one of the toughest places to play in Norman , Oklahoma and faces a Sooners team led by Landry Jones that struggled against Utah State. This game should be close till the end and the Noles defense could be the difference maker in this one.

3.8 Apple’s and Honey on FSU

MIAMI AT OHIO STATE (OHIO STATE -9.5)

The Hurricanes looked like one in their thrashing of Florida A&M who many didn't even know had a football team, but regardless Randy Sherman’s squad is on their way back to greatness and now plays in their biggest games in years at the Horseshoe in Columbus. Ohio State has national title aspirations and knows that an impressive showing against Miami will get that going. The problem though is Miami has almost as potent as an offense as Terelle Pryor and the Buckeyes do and this game could be won by whoever has the ball last.

4.6 Apple's and Honey on MIAMI

SONG OF THE WEEK- “I’m Not Afraid “ Live from Eminem and Jay-z live from Comerica Park Sept 2-3 2010

For those that don’t know one of the biggest and most important hip-hop concert’s ever took place at Comerica Park in Motown last week. This is just a taste of what went down in what is sure to go down as one of the biggest two night stands in the history of the genre. They will always be playing two nights at the new Yankee Stadium September 12-13.
