Monday Moaning

I've never really liked Halloween...I always thought it was a stupid holiday/tradition...I gave up on the whole trick or treating thing after 5th grade...Just seemed stupid...And like a waste of time, money, and effort...I guess I was born an old curmudgeon...

But I do like some of the costumes...

       
Yes, ladies get to wear whatever they want...And we don't mind...I mean, you never see a nurse look like this at the doctors office...

 
Halloween...Women's free pass to slut it up, and not have to take any shit for looking like a whore...

I could go on for days just posting pics of slutted up Halloween chicks, but shit, I've got a job and kids to worry about...So lets get on with this...First off, until my College Football WRAP_UP yesterday, I've pretty much avoided writing...I've just been uninterested...Hell, I barely went on Facebook and Twitter last week until Thursday...But Notre Dame beating Oklahoma Saturday got me going well....That along with the horrible injury to Marcus Lattimore...All that can be seen in the Wrap Up mentioned above...

I had fun bashing Rick Reilly after the ND win...I was giving it to him good, since he trashed ND this pre-season, all because his daddy was too stupid, and flunked out of Notre Dame...Reilly blocked me on twitter...What bitch...Fuck him, he's garbage...But I found it sad, that the ND win, and trashing Reilly was the highlight of my weekend....Seriously, this weekend just sucked for me...

My plans changed a couple times, and none of the things planned involved anything I wanted to do...I hate to complain, but it just sucked...First the Little Beeze and I were going to go camping with the Cub/Boy Scouts...But after the news broke a big story about years of covering up sexual abuse in the scouts, especially in Ohio, I started thinking differently...It didn't help their case that each week at the meetings, I look around at the adults in the room and think, 'these fuckers are weird...I'd never hang out with these creeps.'  

Then the wife was talking about a girls night Saturday...Then a couple days later she informed me she would be taking the kids on that event...All her and the gals were taking the kids trick or treating in the one skirt's neighborhood...She said, "you'll have the night off!"  I could deal with that...Just me and football...Then one of the gals said her dude was coming...So I got signed up too...Then she said, "Good, I can drink with the girls, and you can drive."  Promises were made...Luckily I got us out of there in time to see the ND game...I had enough of these people, and enough of the sugared up mess of kids...I hustled us out of there, got home...Got the kids to bed...Football and promises...But she doesn't drink as well as she did in her youth...She was feeling to sick to keep those promises...So it was just me and football...

And then of course, it hasn't stopped raining for 3 days...And this is before we get our blast from stupid Hurricane Sandy....Oh, and snow is a possibility in the forecast this week too...Sunday, the kids and I were going to get pumpkins, and all that happy horse shit, but the weather killed that...I didn't watch the Browns...They won 7-6...Doesn't sound like I would have enjoyed watching it anyways...I've thrown in the towel on the Browns...I'm just not going to intentionally piss myself off anymore...Just not worth it...I actually didn't watch any NFL games...I just wasn't interested...

The Giants swept the Tigers in the World Series...I can't offer any insight, because I didn't watch any of it...But I did just see Bud Selig present the Trophy to the Giants...He sounded like s sleepy stroke patient...Christ this guy needs to go...And my God, FOX is just putting Erin Andrews on TV constantly...Earn that over-inflated contract money bitch!

And in case you care, the NHL has canceled any possible games for November...1. No shit...2. Most people don't care, because the NHL lost all the steam they had gained the last few years, just by announcing the lockout...Personally, I haven't missed the NHL yet...And I won't this year, because I'm pissed...I've enjoyed following college hockey even more then I have in the past...I'll be fine without you NHL!

That's it for me now...But look for me to post a very offensive Halloween treat soon...

Have a week...

The Beeze's College Football Wrap Up

 

Yeah, it wasn't a good night for Landry Jones and the (#8) Oklahoma Sooners...The (#5) Fighting Irish did what they have done all year...They played, tough, hard-nosed defense...They ran the ball well...215 yards well...They didn't turn the ball over...Limited mistakes...and made big plays when they needed to...

Everett Golson played his cleanest game of the season, and coach Brian Kelly seemed to have no lack of confidence in him when calling the plays...Especially after the Sooners tied the game in the fourth quarter...The Irish came right back, as Golson hit freshman WR Chris Brown with a 50 yard pass...Which setup a Golson TD run five plays later...

After that, it was Manti Te'o intercepting Jones, after Dan Fox broke up a pass to Jalen Saunders, that popped up in the air...Te'o dove for it, and kept it off the ground...The Irish added a field goal...Then Theo Riddick added on a late TD run making the final 30-13 Irish!

The Irish defense held the Sooners to just 15 yards on the ground, forcing them to be one dimensional, and refused to let Oklahoma get off a big play...While the game was tight for 3 plus quarters, it seemed like the Irish were in control all night...I hate to sound like Lou Holtz, but this team really is starting to look like a "team of destiny."

And all critics out there have been pointing at this game for a few weeks now...'If Notre Dame beats Oklahoma then I'll take them seriously."  These are the same people who said the Irish had the nations toughest schedule in their pre-season bullshit, and are now saying the ND schedule is weak...Well, critics...Are you ready to take ND seriously...Rick Reilly, you fucking cunt, is Notre Dame relevant now!?!  Yes, they are...You aren't...Do everyone a favor Reilly...Quit your day job, douchebag!

You all know I've been all in with Collin Klein and (#3) Kansas State this year...Well, this week's game with (#15) Texas Tech, had me worried...The Red Raiders can really put up points...

   
But Klein made it clear, that there was nothing to worry about, as he passed for 233 yards and 2 TD's and rushed for 83 yards and 2 more TD's, leading the hard-nosed Wildcats to a 55-24 victory...

After Saturday's games, the top two guys in the Heisman race have to be Klein, and Manti Te'o...You know I've been hyping Klein all year, but a LB getting the Heisman would be great!

Both Notre Dame and K-State got help in the BCS rankings as (#10) Georgia beat (#2) Florida 17-9 in a sloppy, defensive battle...Why do I say sloppy? Florida had 10 penalties for 95 yards...and turned the ball over 6 times...Georgia had 14 penalties for 132 yards and turned it over 3 times...None of that high-powered SEC offense in this one...

Staying in the SEC, we may have seen the last of South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, after one of the worst leg injuries I have ever seen...





That shit was brutal...An early report says "Lattimore tore every ligament in his knee, plus a broken femur, plus a broken knee cap."  Can anyone come back from that?  Does anyone want to?  This kid has been looking at such a bright future, and has ended every season early because of injuries...Just sad...

Lattimore's (#13) Gamecocks had to fight on after seeing their leader carted off to the hospital...They managed to hang and win 38-35 over Tennessee...

#11 Miss State is no longer undefeated after running into the buzz-saw that is #1 Alabama...The Tide rolled right over them, 38-7...

In the PAC-12, USC has been holding on to hope of sneaking back into the BCS picture...The they want to Arizona and that idea got kicked in the ass, as the Wildcats, who always say "Bear Down" I don't know why, beat the Trojans 39-36...Key stat...USC turned it over 5 times...No Heisman for Barkley...No Championship for Kiffin, Barkley, and the Trojans...And  big smile on my face!

#24 Ohio University's dream of a perfect season ended Saturday at rival, Miami of Ohio, as the Bobcats lost 23-20...Miami is not having a good year, but they'll always be up for their rival...With 9 seconds left, the Bobcats had no timeouts...Instead of trying to kick the field goal for the tie, and take it to OT...The Bobcats took a crack at one more play to go for the win...QB Tyler Tettleton was sacked and time ran out...Great balls, but that's a tough way to go...

Staying in the MAC...Kent read, Kent write, Kent State went to undefeated (#15) Rutgers and put another Big East team in their place...The Golden Flashes upset the Scarlet Knights 35-23...The MAC is now 4-0 against the Big East this year...Cincy lost to Toledo last week, ending their undefeated season...The Bearcats gave (#16) Louisville a scare Friday night, but the Cardinals pulled out a 34-31 OT win...Now Rutgers goes down...Who will knock off Louisville?  Sadly, they didn't schedule any MAC schools...

In the late game, we lost another undefeated team as #7 Oregon State was beaten 20-17 by Washington...Again, turnovers is the key stat...Oregon State QB Sean Mannion playing his first game in 3 weeks after injury, threw 4 INT's...When they finally yanked him for Cody Vaz, it was too late...Washington had the momentum and were able to hang on for the win.

That's it for this week...See ya Monday...

The Beeze's 2012 Heisman Watch

It's easy to say Matt Barkley is your favorite to win the Heisman...But that ain't me...Not just because he's a USC guy...I mean, yeah, that might be a small factor, but it's just lazy...To me, the favorite had to be Montee Ball, up above there...Last year he finished 4th in the voting, and got little love compared to Alabama running back Trent Richardson, even though Ball's numbers blew Richardson's away...Ball rushed for 1,923 yards and 39 TD's last year...He's gotta be on top of the list...

Oh, but then there is that off the field stuff...Ball recently got jumped, and had his ass beat-down by a 4-5 guys...It's been said that it was provoked by something that happened at a party a couple days earlier...We'll see...I expect Ball to put up big numbers again, but I think they'll be down a bit, which will open the race up to others...

What others? Well like I said, Not Matt Barkley...And no, I'm not going with that bastard Denard Robinson, from Michigan...And no, I'm not going Geno Smith from West Virginia...West Virginia isn't going to walk into the Big-12 and roll people over...They're going to find out how weak the Big East they use to play in, was...

I'm telling you to keep your eye on Georgia's QB Aaron Murray...


Murray has all the tools to be an elite college QB...His size, 6-1, 210 lbs. may hold him back at the next level, but he's fine for the college game, throwing for 3,149 yards and 35 TD's last year...But he has to cut down on the14 INT's he threw...

I'll be watching another guy even more closely...Kansas State QB, Collin Klein...


Klein is the dual threat that coach Bill Snyder loves...Last year Klein rushed for more than a 1,000 yards, and passed for just under 2,000...To keep him in Heisman consideration, Kansas State needs to win, and stay in the hunt for the Big-12 title...Which I expect them to...I'm predicting them to finish 2nd or 3rd in the conference...Klein also needs to improve his passing numbers, and get more comfortable in the pocket, which he should be able to do, with strong group of receivers returning...

Then there is this beast in South Carolina...Marcus Lattimore...


Lattimore had rushed for 818 yards, and 10 TD's in the first 6 games and change last year...But then ripped his knee up...It was the second year in row Steve Spurrier relied on Lattimore to carry the offense, and ran the hell out of him...It was also the second year that was ended with an injury...So clearly the key for Lattimore, is staying healthy...Also The Gamecocks have to be competitive in the SEC, and keep Lattimore in the spotlight...

I really think Lattimore can take it, if South Carolina can get themselves in the SEC Championship hunt, and stay healthy...The kid is a beast...And no matter if he wins the Heisman or not, Lattimore will be going pro after this season...

The last guy I'm looking at, some will say he's a reach...Well, why not reach? If Barkley, and some other guys get hurt, or just shit the bed, which we have seen before, there will be other guys doing well, and getting a look...Well, I've been waiting 4 years to see this guy put it all together...

USF QB, B.J. Daniels...


The kid is a real dual-threat...Passing for 2,604 yards and 13 TD's, and rushing for 601 yards and 6 TD's...Daniels has progressed in each of his seasons at USF, and enters this season with the best group of receivers he's had...


Like all Heisman hopefuls, he needs help from his team...I'm predicting the Bulls to take the Big-East crown this season, as they'll have their best defensive unit in years...And with the Big-East losing West Virginia and TCU, the competition is a lot weaker...Louisville will be good...I expect the rest to be pretty average...For my Syracuse friends, you'll see some improvement...

Daniels has the tools, and the team...But will the conference be held against him...Probably...But if he puts up monster numbers, and takes USF to a major bowl, he could get the love...

Who's your Heismane favorite?

The Beeze's Heisman Preview

No B-Dub, I'm not picking your guy to win the Heisman! But the kid was a beast last year...South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore has to get mentioned after rushing for 1,197 yards and 17 touchdowns as a true Freshman last year...The 'Cocks may have to put a bigger load on him this year, unless they can get a QB that can keep his head out of his ass...

Coming out of last season, and heading into this year, Oregon Runningback LaMichael James had to be on the top of everyone's list...

James led the country in rushing with 1,731 yards...The Ducks' Offense has 7 returning starters, three of those on the Offensive line...But a NCAA investigation has been hanging over the program throughout the off-season...James and the entire program may be heading for some sanctions...


Stanford QB, Andrew Luck would have been my guy this year, after passing for 3,338 yards...32 touchdowns...And only 8 interceptions in his Sophomore season...But he lost his head coach, Jim Harbaugh to the San Fransisco 49ers...I have a feeling that Luck may regress slightly this season, but he'll be back next year...

The QB to watch out for...Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden...


Weeden passed for 4,277 yards last year, and connected for 34 touchdowns...Weeden also has his top receiver, Justin Blackmon, back with him...These two can be a deadly combination...Blackmon had 20 TD receptions last season, and 1,782 yards...

One of the guys I was rooting for last year was Boise State's Kellen Moore...


Moore has put up huge numbers in his time at Boise State, and I think he'll do well again this year, but not Heisman well...Moore lost his top two receivers, and his Offensive Coordinator...

My favorite...The guy I'd love to see win it...

Baylor QB, Robert Griffin...Last year Griffin came back from a major knee injury and proved his doubters wrong by passing for 3,501 yards and 22 touchdowns...

And being the dual-threat that he is, he also rushed for 635 yards, and 8 touchdowns...But the big problem for Griffin is that he plays at Baylor...The Bears need to make some serious noise in the Big-12 if their QB is going to get any national attention...

Of course, all that were mentioned were QB's and RB's...Defense rarely gets any Heisman love...I would be thrilled to see a Manti Te'o (LB, Notre Dame) or a Jared Crick (DT, Nebraska) get some attention, but we all know that won't happen...We'll see...

Later, The Beeze.
