• VT blew away Marshall with their high-powered offense.  Nice showing but where was that last week?
  • Taking the pessimistic view, Virginia Techs “offensive” coordinator Bryan Stinespring acquired a straw-man counter-argument for his continued failures.  Blowing away a team with no defense does not mean you know how to run an offense.  Now I just need to convince Beamer of that.
  • I’m Michigan’s biggest fan this week.  Hopefully USC, BC and at least one additional team will also beat Notre Dame and keep them from wasting a BCS berth…
  • USC-Ohio State wasn’t quite as exciting as I might have hoped for but at least Ohio State shouldn’t appear in the national title game just to get blown out again.  Though, they actually looked respectable in the loss.
  • Also — What USC-Ohio State game was the media watching? All they talked about the USC freshman quarterback and his amazing drive to win the game.  Barkley may turn out to be a great quarterback that drive was all about Joe McKnight (who is already a great running back).  If hiking the ball and giving it to your star running back is all it takes to make a QB great, Brett Favre is going to be a legend indefinitely in Minnesota.
  • Speaking of which, Adrian Peterson is a man among boys.
  • Some are suggesting that Crabtree is going to sit out and re-enter the draft next year? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. If true, it would be another waste of talent on what appears to be another T.O.-esque diva.
  • It’s an ongoing struggle to stay a Redskins fan.
  • Clijsters wins the US Open after coming back from having a baby.  That’s a story for the ages and yet it’s only the 3rd most compelling story of the tournament.  First, Oudin upstaged her with her spunk and determination and then Serena took “meltdown” to another level.
  • Somehow, Federer lost to someone other than Nadal.  I didn’t think this was possible.
  • I so very much wish college football was a year-round sport.
