Dear EFAs,
Welcome to week three of the college football season and the much-anticipated Auburn game. Let’s get to my much-anticipated ramblings . . . (remember if you wish to opt out, just go ahead and try).
The Recap:
Most of you can rest well this week as WVU showcased their talent in a 15-point win vs. ECU. Jarret Brown looked explosive on offense and the defense looked stout, giving up only 20 points despite the awful field position and turnovers it had to deal with. However, they will need to shore up the penalties and turnover issues if they expect to survive a Saturday night showcase in Auburn. Marshall fans, you might want to schedule more 1 AA schools in the future after you just got beat down by a bunch of castrated turkeys (a.k.a. Hokies). Question, does it ever get old watching OSU lose on prime time TV?
Most West Virginians are upset about Dick Rod winning this weekend, but there is no use in crying over it folks, Rich has done plenty of that himself. Besides, I am still waiting for Weis' mental breakdown on national TV. We are now one more step to realizing my dream. I am pretty sure he'll blame his weight issues on Bill Belichick forcing him into Spygate and sleepless nights.
Charlie is not the only one crying after that tough loss though; Mike Gundy blew a potential top five ranking by losing to Houston, Lane Kiffin got beat down at home, all of Ohio's children are tearing up after blowing that fourth quarter lead, RRod watched When Harry met Sally, U-Conn lost on a safety in the fourth quarter, and Al Groh is likely to be fired by the time I stop watching Family Guy. However, nothing compares to how my buddy Adam felt when he entered his living room the morning after me and Aaron had been out drinking and eating Rusted Musket . . . I wasn't a pretty situation. If he didn't tear up, then he is a stronger man than I thought.
This Weekend:
College football's drama story of the offseason is finally here as Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer finally faceoff after Kiffin accused Meyer of cheating on the recruiting trail (which is like the Oregon Trail with less dysentery). Kiffin's numerous offseason exploits were likely an act of Emo teenager rebellion as he had just split up with his dad, Al Davis. Don't worry though, the fact that Al Davis looks a lot like Darth Vader these days leads me to believe they will make up someday, but not after losing an arm or two. Anyways, the point is Meyer/Florida is pissed off and instead this pre-game handshake crap that started this year (First suggested by RRod and Martha Stewart), the scene should look a lot more like the West Side Story. Here’s hoping for a good fight.
There are plenty of other television matchups to keep our couch contingency glued to the TV Saturday. As a matter of fact, there are eight games on simultaneously at 3:30. The two underrated games I would keep an eye on are FSU at BYU and Cincy at Oregon St. Cincy's offense vs. Jacquizz Rodgers should be a treat. Check it all out in the spreadsheet.
Tailgating Trainers Corner:
This week I am pleased to introduce a new segment to the CF email. This weekly section will be co-authored by two of WVU's finest Athletic Training alumni. Each week they will use their expertise to enlighten us all on how to properly tailgate in a safe manner. Without further ado, I proudly introduce . . .
Final Notes:
Anyone else like the new DirecTV commercials with Tom Arnold? I think the whole Half Way House idea is pretty funny, how about one for Joe Paterno and his on-field digestive problems?
There are no new calisthenics for road games, but that does not mean you should not stretch before games folks! Things like this happen when you don’t. I'll be scouring Auburn tailgates for new ideas.
Please tune in next week as we unveil a new and exciting section to the email. I know you will all be on the edge of your seat.
