Ohio State Vs. Texas

In a football gaming featuring the #1 and #2 seeds in the NCAA football league, this game was one sided. This game wasn't close on any measure. Wait thats not right, it was close when the game started 0-0.

The only score for Texas came off of one of the worst calls I have ever seen for ruffing the passer. What would have been a fourth down field goal attempt, resulted in the Texas Longhorns only score. Ruffing the passer was called even though the quarterback was hit as he threw the ball. The ref told the head coach of Ohio State "he was protecting the quarterback". Super bad call, not only was it a clean hit, it was not helmet to helmet.

After that score Texas did do much of anything else. Ohio State ran over Texas last night, 24-7.

Bandwagons All Over Town

You know its funny to me when throughout all the playoff games and going around town I never noticed one steeler fan. Sunday before the game, at cracker barrels, I saw seven or eight people walking sitting around with steelers jerseys on.

Steelers fans and every other NFL team fan would be wearing their jerseys previous to making the trip to the Superbowl. There were three other games played by the steelers in the playoffs, not to mention the sixteen regular season games.

Today I saw a more than two vehicles with steeler magnet logos. I mean give me a break, I was rooting for the steelers, but that doesn't mean I have the right to put magnets on my car, or go around talking about the steelers like I have been a die hard fan.

I have idiots talking to me at work saying they knew the steelers were going to win. I told him right there to his face, bs, I told him to cheer with the rest of you bandwagon fanatics. I'm sure many people out there know people like this. I want to tell them look, its not your team, you don't know any stats about the steelers, what color their jerseys are, who plays where, what city they are from nor do you know who the "bus" is. Take the ten dollars you won in a bet you made with a redskin fan and call it even.

We can sense you bandwagon idiots from miles away. You are only embarrassing yourself. You are not a steelers fan, please pick a team.

The colts record this year will not save them from a loss at home against the steelers. Better luck next year.
Texas Offense Vs. Women Figure Skating

Maybe I'm just upset because USC lost, but then again I do not root for USC anyways. I am a headcase when it comes to thinking. And when I think of watching an offense that resembles anything like Texas, I think my time would be best spent watching woman figure skating.

Don't get me wrong Texas won the game and yeah it was because of Vince Young, but good god who runs an offense like them? Its ugly, its barely football, and it only works in college. Has Mike Vick been able to fool the pros like he did in college, yes he has, a few times but not nearly as many times as he did in college. Vick has a cannon, a real one, he can throw the heck out of a football. The old saying, its on a rope, his passes are on  a rope made of steel. 

To watch a championship game and to watch a team in shotgun every play gets old. Only in college football can you run from shotgun every down, fake a hand off and run every single play. That's this game was for Texas Vince Young. Its not personal how I feel about their play, its just that when you think of football, none of what Texas did resembles football.

I mean come on, the same formation every down, every play. Same old thing, and its not the halfback(tailback), its the quarterback running the ball? What are running backs for? What are fullbacks for. This kind of game play makes a learning curve when entering the NFL. Then again I know nothing but quarterbacks don't run around the field ever single play.

The Colts Are Not That Good

I like football. I enjoy the clash of two ideas competing for points. There are a lot of ifs in football. There are also too many teams with fake grass and domed stadiums. The colts will not go un defeated.

They may be cheaper, I don't know, but football was made to be played out in the weather on real grass. I don't care about technology and how far they have come to making astro turf (fake grass), look and feel real.

Yeah the colts are good and I know the lions sucks. And when you compare the 11- colts which are a dome team, to the lions, another dome team, who have fired their head coach during the season, my argument kinda falls through, but not really.

For one we know the lions are not that good of a team at all. Lets forget about them all together so I can get on with my point. The colts defense is fast and faster on fake grass in a stadium just like their office. This team, the colts, was built around fake grass and perfect conditions. You get the colts in the cold out on a real field and you watch them break like they did against the patriots, the year new England won the Superbowl.

Noise factor. In a dome crowds came become so loud a player talking on the field can not hear his own voice. Yeah the 12th man, that's great, why don't they just amplify the crowd volume and loop it back through the stadiums speakers to make it even louder. This gives a huge advantage to home teams in domes. I could care less if the stadium was open. Did someone decide that they could faze out weather in football if eventually they put all teams in a dome?

Having a dome as a home field should not be legal in the national football league. This has nothing to do with the colts this year. Any year on any given day I will root against a dome team, even the not yet defeated colts.

I have the secret as to why the colts will lose a game. But I wont say yet.
