2009 Non-Conference Schedule to Suck
There are always a select group of non-conference games that make week 1-5 worth watching. Unfortunately, that group is getting smaller by the year, and decreasing even faster than the number of black head coaches.
It seems that the BCS ensures that top-tier teams don't want or need to play tough opponents. With the "what have you done for me down the stretch" attitude of voters the only thing important about the three or four games before the conference schedule is making damn sure you have three of four wins.
Consider:
Currently there are 119 teams in the Bowl Subdivision, and no matter how big your conference is you still have over 100 teams to choose from for your non-conference schedule. One frieken hundred. No matter, teams in the FBS are still finding a way to play smaller schools. Next year 75% of BCS conference teams will play a FCS school.
The Pac-10 once agains earns praise from this blog for being the only conference that has more teams not playing a FCS school than teams that do. In fact, they look to have the toughest non-conference schedule for any conference as a whole.
The ACC and SEC have ten teams playing FCS schools each, but the SEC does not have the honor of having three teams that will face two FCS schools. Congratulations to the state of North Carolina: Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State all refuse to schedule real games.
On the positive side no BCS team has schedules three FCS games yet. And Michigan will face Delaware state, looking forward to that one. Although if they played Deleware the teams helments would have been virtually the same, talent level too.
Coming Soon the Best OOC games that we actually will look forward too!

Breaking News from Salt Lake City!
Two unofficial sources are now claiming that fifty eight Brigham Young University players have tested positive for viagra, which is now listed as a performance enhancing drug.
According to a 2006 study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology Viagra, sildenafil citrate, can enhance cardiovascular workouts when in a high altitude setting. This is because Viagra can increase oxygen transport to the blood when working out high above sea level, where oxygen levels in the air are lower.
The list of players included sophomore kicker Tristan Maldanado, the only one to respond to questions from thinkingoutsidetheranking interviewers. When asked about the incident Maldanado said that players often talked about Viagra, but none of them "knew anything about its performance enhancing ability on the football field."
In an unidentified Facebook post one player responded to the allegations by stating reasons the football team had to take Viagra that didn't involve football.
"There is alot of pressure to perform your best for the ladies. Some of us look forward to having three or four wifes down the road, and keeping sexually fit is a must if the maximum number of multiple wives is to be achieved."
Another unconfirmed reason for taking Viagra circulating the press is that the male population of BYU, not just the football players, need Viagra in order to make love to a female student body that isn't exactly attractive. According to a nation-wide poll of college students on Studentsreview.com BYU has the second least attractive girls in the nation, falling behind only Capella University.
The performance enhancing abilities help to explain why BYU, a team full of slow white guys can compete at such a high level during conference play in the mountainous region of the states but continues to lose bowl games when they travel away from the high altitude stadiums.
How the NCAA will respond to the violations is not yet known. It has been suggested by sources that the NCAA could limit the team to 15 scholarships for three years and two wives for the same time period.

Urban Meyer Cheated Anyways
If anyone remembers the day after Lane Kiffin took the job at the University of Tennessee Urban Meyers accused him of a recruiting violation. Oh the SEC, they hate each other so much. So when Kiffin celebrated a recruit he won over Florida at a Tennessee football luncheon even though Urban Meyer "cheated" it wouldn't seem to be such a big deal.
Thats why when the Florida press release came out I had to cringe a little. "There was no rule violation and we have confirmed this with the Southestern Conference, It is obvious that Coach Kiffin doesn’t know that there is not a rule precluding phone contact with a prospect during an official visit on another campus during a contact period...are very disappointed with him..." Blah blah blah.
Lane Kiffin didn't do a damn thing wrong.
Urban pulled a classic punk move: throw the first slap, get slapped back and run to the nearest authority figure to tattle. The worst part is now ESPN is going to cover the shit out of this for the next three weeks. If you're not immediately throwing mud at Urban Meyer, Les Miles or Nick Saban and you are a new head coach in the SEC you suck. I'm still waiting for a shot at Alabama, Chizik.
It would seem that Florida has a good enough football team to settle things on the field, remember when Georgia did the amazing celebration dance after their first touchdown against Alabama? Then what happened? Alabama spanked em back on the field next year. That's college football for you.
When Rich Rodriguez tried to steal an Ohio State recruit last year, the Big Ten's "Gentleman Agreement," to not steal recruits from other Big Ten programs was brought up in an interview with Tressel. He responded "I guess it only counts between gentlemen." Superb. That's college football, shots between rivals that don't involve stuffy athletic directors.
This year when rivals USC played UCLA in the rose bowl stadium, UCLA was the "away" team. But they wanted to revive a tradition where both teams wore home uniforms. They did and were charged a timeout per half, so Pete Carrol called a useless timeout at the beginning of each half to even things out. That's college football.
If Urban Meyer was in Carrol's situation he would have had the law students looking for a way to have another timeout taken from them, maybe even the review flag. How many luncheons with the football boosters following signing day involved a shot at the Rivals? Or a comment about a four star recruit stolen from a in-conference team at the last moment? For a team coming off a national championship I would expect a little bit more.

The Big XII Championship Tiebreaker
I have finally come to terms with the Big XII's tiebreakers for the sub-conference champions.
Last year Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma together made for one of of the most exciting conference races in the history of college football, in the history of college sports, in the history of conferences. Three 11-1 teams, all 7-1 in conference play, forming the perfect rock paper scissors dilemma.
So when it was time to decide the Big XII south champion and the team with the inside track to the National Championship game, the Big XII decided to let the BCS decide. This was done to ensure that the team with the best chance to succeed at the national level would get the nod. That was the stated reason for the tiebreaker rule #5, and it actually did make sense.
I have one suggestion though, for a simple and very precise rule to be slided into slot #4: Oklahoma does not get the tiebreaker if Bob Stoops is coaching. This, more than any other single change, will ensure that the Big XII will have success in the BCS and future national championship games.
In 2007 and 2006 Ohio State lost two consecutive National Championship games and became the new Oklahoma, remember Oklahoma lost the National Championship game in 2003 to LSU and in 2004 to USC. Now Oklahoma has snatched the title back thanks to Florida.
Two other BCS game losses to, may we never forget, Boise State and the ass-whooping delivered by West Virginia make five straight BCS losses for Oklahoma. Just as the Notre Dame bowl losing streak comes to an end Oklahoma gives me hope and something to live for.
Texas, by contrast, is 3-0 in BCS games. The choice seems clear, in order to be as successful as the SEC in bowl games, especially the big BCS ones, Oklahoma must be stopped, have their football program dismantled or killed.

Charles Barkley vs. Auburn
DISCLAIMER: I am a Gene Chizik fan, forever grateful for his help in the 2005 National Championship the Longhorns won.
"I think race was the No. 1 factor," said Barkley, who played basketball for three seasons at Auburn during the early 1980s. "You can say it's not about race, but you can't compare the two résumés and say [Chizik] deserved the job. Out of all the coaches they interviewed, Chizik probably had the worst résumé."
Charles Barkley's comments reflected the sentiments of the nation when he commented on Auburn not hiring Turner Gil. The case for Turner Gil was obvious, he was able to turn around one of the worst college football programs at Buffalo almost immediately after arriving, and this season took them to their first bowl game ever. Turner Gil was this years rising coach star, and looked almost certain to get the job at a big name, BCS school like Auburn, Clemson or Tennessee.
The case for Gene Chizik was much less flashy, and certainly less talked about. But don't forget that three years ago Gene Chizik was the Turner Gil. He was an extremely effective defensive coordinator at Auburn and a large reason for the undefeated season of 2004. In 2005 he was an even larger reason when the Longhorns wrapped up the National Championship. This guy was a huge part of something like a 25 game winning streak in college football, and his stock could not have been higher.
The main point of comparison between Gil and Chizik was records, this was the only issue ever talked about and my God it was hammered into the ground. Both Gil and Chizik had head coaching job for three seasons, and one had a hell of a lot more wins than the other. But the issue there is both coaches inherited down and out squads, and one had to compete against the Big XII with his and the other against arguably the worst conference in the nation the MAC.
Iowa State's schedule every year includes eight Big XII games and a game against rival Iowa. With a much tougher schedule Iowa State was bringing in decent recruiting classes and showing promise, they were also beginning to show promise on the field. At least twice each year Chizik was coaching Iowa State led a much better national power going into the 3rd quarter and lost the game in the second half when depth starts to show.
That being said I certainly don't know how much racism played into the case. And to be perfectly honest I don't know how much Charles Barkley or any other person outside the Athletic Director at Auburn. But that didn't stop speculations on phantom "racist boosters" keeping out Gil because of a white wife that ran rampant over the internet and ESPN.
Lately College football has been subject to conversations about race, and rightfully so, because of the small number of Black head coaches, which has become even smaller with the departing of Croom at Mississippi State, Ron Prince at Kansas State and Willingham at Washington. This leaves three black coaches for 119 schools in a sport where 60% of the players are themselves black.
When the history of the schools are examined the race issue could not help but be magnified. Buffalo received one bowl bid in its school history but did not accept because two players, who were black, would not have been allowed to play. Auburn is looked upon suspiciously because of its location in the deep south.
But here is my point, Gene Chizik never made the rule that black players would not be allowed in the Tangerine Bowl, he wasn't one of the supposed racist boosters who underhandedly had him hired. Gene Chizik is just a coach who had a history of being successful in the SEC, with a history of winning at Auburn, he knows the all-important recruiting layout. He has actually shown himself to be a better recruiter than Gil over the years. He was a much better candidate than anyone ever gave him credit for.
Gene Chizik will for the foreseeable future be the coach who won the job over a better candidate due to racism thanks mostly to Barkley. Without the alumna's comments Chizik would have been a passing conversation point on ESPN, which has a history of lingering on any controversial point they can find. So Gene, have fun recruiting, have fun answering questions about it for the next four years, have fun when your players are asked about the situation and if they would rather play for a black coach. If i was Gene Chizik I would issue an official statement for Sir Charles, "Thanks, Fucker."

Signing Day
Welcome to college football signing day! Since I have no idea who the actual recruits are, and if I did know who they are I would hate them for having that much fame coming out high school. Today we will highlight some men who never got their due love by making player profiles in NCAA 2005 Football and simulating the recruiting process:
Jameson Otto, #14 CB. A lockdown corner with speed that can match any other defensive back in the nation. Questions about his ability to come down with interceptions and be a game changing player have been raised due to his small hand size.
Signing Status: Signed with Notre Dame his sophomore year of high school.
Michael “Motha Fuckin B-Rice” Wersonske, #2 OT. As athletic of a big man as we have seen, but early problems in the recruiting season were felt across the nation when Michael demanded to be recruited as a tight end. Since then his prospect status has dropped from #2 OT to #145 TE. Questions about work ethic and spiking the Gatorade have further complicated the issue.
Signing Status: De-committed from Texas; currently considering Louisiana Lafayette, New Mexico State and Syracuse.
Dylan Daniel, #14 WR. A big, strong receiver that can come down with jump balls over many of the smaller corners. An excellent facet of Daniel’s game is blocking down field, he often takes on Linebackers and can become a huge bonus in his team’s running game. This makes him a perfect fit for the option run game of West Virginia. Downsides include forgetting most of his routes.
Signing Status: Committed to West Virginia because of the stank ass weed the state produces.
Daniel Hagleberg, SS #1. Daniel plays like a mad man, averaging three personal fouls per game this strong safety is often found at the line of scrimmage screaming unintelligibly at the other teams quarterback.
His speed and ferocity have made him the overall top recruit in the nation. After a lengthy discussion with the coaching and lawyer staff at Miami “Danimal” made a verbal commitment and has stuck with it. Other skills include fitting team mates with better shoes for the perfect fit during bus and plane rides.
Signing Status: Miami.
Huhrod Lindenmuth, C #421. Lindenmuth started the recruiting season near the top of ESPN top 150 and as the best center on the board until a workout session with Texas A&M revealed that he lied about his weight room numbers and had never actually worked out.
Signing Status: North East South Dakota State.
Mike Miller, ATH #1. High School highlight films of Miller look like a compilation tape of Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, Vince Young and Doug Flutie rolled into one love child. Although there have already been seven NCAA recruiting violations involving Miller the top programs in the nation are still lining up at his door. This recruiting season Mike set a NCAA record for having to give back five Lamborghinis.
Signing Status: Considering Florida, Arizona, USC, Texas, LSU, Miami, Oregon, Auburn, Michigan, Missouri, Boston College, Hawaii, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Penn State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Mississippi State, Colorado, Texas A&M, Marshall, East Carolina, Oklahoma State, Boise State, UCLA, BYU, Florida State, California, Georgia Tech, Oregon State, Northwestern, Kansas, Kansas State, Maryland, Wake Forest, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Iowa, Colorado State, Air Force, Georgia, USF, Baylor, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Tulsa, North Carolina State, Washington State, Washington, Tennessee, Ole Miss, UCF, Fresno State, Utah, Clemson, South Carolina, Virginia, Duke, Army, Navy, Southern Miss, Troy, Buffalo, Iowa State, Minnesota, Louisville, Memphis, Arizona State, Colorado State, Arkansas, Kentucky, Rice, Houston, North Texas, Miami of Ohio, UTEP and Appalachian State.
Evan Hoface, WR #12. Perhaps the top possession receiver coming out of high school this year, Evan reminds coaches and scouts of a Wes Welker type player. Evan is in the unique position of traveling anywhere in the nation because of the flexibility offered by his internet girlfriend. Celebrating this fact Evan is looking at the legendary “Four Corners” of the college football world.
Signing Status: Currently Considering Washington, USC, Miami and Buffalo.
Matt Hanson, C #2. Benefiting from Lindenmuth controversy, Hanson has moved up the scouting boards. His straight forward blocking mentality and skills as a long snapper and shotgun snapper have attracted the nation’s best spread offense teams. Hanson is also the top rated shit talker in the nation, and enjoys making defensive tackles cry,
