Lets talk about teams that are getting hyped this year that don't seem to quite pass the ass sniffin test.  The Flying Potato is all crinkle cut about the love that UCONN is getting and not that I disagree, cause I need to see proof that a team out of Storrs can be worth a shit before I am buying into Auriemma's squad, but I'll let him rant on that.  Besides, they will get there chanceweek one in the newly enlarged Dick Rod House.

One of my head scratchers is UNC.  Now granted, Butch Davis has been there for awhile and certainly has gathered some talent in Chapel Hill, but they still play in a Chapel!  On a Hill!  You can't win in a church!  (No one said this blog was intelligent).  Honestly though, they have been 8-5 the last two years and aren't exactly rolling off much momentum from the end of last year.  They had a great middle section while beating Tech and Miami, but when we should be putting our trust in TJ Yates to bring us to the promise land, I think not.  This just seems like the typical media darkhorse that goes out and pukes on their shoes.  They get a great chance opening with LSU in a down year, but I am not biting, anything but my neighbors dog.

Va Tech:  I am not so sure they are over hyped per say, I think they are probably a top 15 team, but I don't see anything out of Tyrod Taylor that makes me think they will be a top ten team.

Nebraska:  This is the truly puzzling one to me.  Sure they blew shit up in their bowl game, but ya know what?  That means about as much as the person who said I had a straight eye for a queer guy (wait what?).  Brasky pants had a great defense last year, period.  The fact that they came out blazing, in ONE game, doesn't mean they all of a sudden have a great offense.  Unlike the rest of the word, the last impression is huge in college football and that stance is very flawed.  Rarely does bowl success flow into great following seasons as there are numerous variables that go into bowl season.  The defense will still be great, and don't get me wrong I like defense and Pelini, but its not gonna be enough unless they find a new boy names Sue.  I predict they fall out of the rankings at least once.

Southern Cayuga Flag Football team:  They suck.  They always have sucked.  I dont wanna hear any more bull shit hype on ESPN about them.

My dark horses you ask?  Besides WVU?  I kinda like Texas Tech.  Not just because I read an article about them, or maybe, but honestly I like Tubby.  Certainly from the other side of coin of the Ol' Pirate, but heck, a lot of talent + good coach + forgotten about = catching teams snoozin up in de holler.  Also, watch out for Southern Presbyterian.

Keep it real all ya redneck homies . . .
