What I'm Watching: Week 2

12:00 Miami (FL) vs. Oklahoma (ABC)- A rematch of what felt like every Orange Bowl in the 80's. It was a little bullshit Miami got to play for the National Championship on their home field so many times. Expect OU to extract revenge. Where are Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson? Well actually they're on Fox Pregame tomorrow.

2:30 North Carolina State vs. Boston College (ESPN 2)- In Boston, Tom O'Brien is a college football Johnny Damon. Which means everyone in the city read about his departure in the agate of the Boston Globe thought "what an asshole" then went back to watching Red Sox Extra Innings Extra Extra three hours after the game is over. For those in Boston who give a shit, the Eagles should light up their old coach's new team.

6:00 Notre Dame vs. Penn State (ESPN)- Now THIS is an old school college football game that will take us in the Northeast back to a point when most of our programs were relevant. Unfortunately this year at least, Notre Dame isn't. Penn State should win by a significant margin.

9:15 Virginia Tech vs. LSU (ESPN)- A 9:15 start time so I can watch this whole game with a Red Bull Vodka in my hand in the presence of horny single women...brilliant! Make this a tradition. Games that get done at 10:30 give me too much time I have to pay attention to my friends. This should be a defensive quagmire as both defenses are miles ahead of the offenses.
