College Football, Week One

Welcome back to my obnoxious ramblings!!!!! I know your excited. The 2009 college football season is finally upon us and the only thing we've heard more about than Tim Tebow and his mission trips to save silver backed gorillas in the congo, is that Brett Farve is playing for the Vikings; both situations, who cares. I am more intrigued about the off-season story of 100 lb weight loss from Ralph Friedgen and the subsequent 100 lb weight gain of Charlie Weiss. Apparently ole Charlie has been raiding Friedgen's fridge by cutting him off at the pass. Ralph better learn to protect his house.

On to the real matter at hand; there are a few very intriguing matchups coming into week one, even beyond the WVU/Liberty squabble. At 3:30, we will get to see how legit Ok state is when they face off against UGA. If you were wondering, Mike Gundy is still a man, and if you were not counting, he is now 42. After that tune into BYU vs OU, in a great QB matchup of the WVU Equip. Rm's favorite son Sam Bradford vs Max Hall (nephew of Max Kellerman), and be sure to catch the halftime battle of cheerleaders of the OU Spirit Squad vs the BYU Cougs. Finally Tech vs Bama. Bama got roughed up at the end of the season and Tech is coming in highly rated, but lost their starting QB. A Va Tech game in Atlanta, do you think Vick will be there?

Id likely to briefly reiterate the schedule and email rules. The schedule is always based on regional settings based on where I am at, dont like it? Make your own damn schedule. I take no responsiblitiy for the infamous reply all comments! I do try to make note of the other regional ABC games. The big ten network is blasphemous and will not be acknowledged. If you like Ohio State or any other team with a nut for a mascot, I A: feel sorry for you, and B: will not apologize for ill words spoken to you. Even the UC Santa Barbara Banana Slugs are cooler than that. If you wish to opt out of this email click here OPT Out. If you wish to send derogatory comments to me, please do so here Contact Us.

On to everyone's favorite college football activity, tailgating. With the ongoing popularity of Calisthenics at our tailgates (even had a nice round up at the spring game), and with frequent questions about them, I have decided to merge the tailgate into the new millennium. I have launched the newest WVU Twitter page . . . @WVUCalisthenics. If Tony Kornheiser can do it, so can I. Every week that there is a home WVU football game, I will take suggestions for a new calisthenic exercise. Friday night, likely at Mutts, the 5 cent pub, or at Bugsys, a secret committee will decide the winner. So that we are all on the same page, I will be attaching an updated Calisthenic list along with this weeks schedule including all previously used stretches.

Glad to be back in contact with you all, hope your excited too.

Final note: My prediction for WVU's season without reasoning - 9-3.

Love Always,
