Tuesday Morning Superhangover: The Games

Thanksgiving is known for three "vices", Overeating, Overdrinking, and Overfootballwatching. I did all three but my fourth vice, blogging had to be neglected as when you're entertaining and visiting family its tough to get away to a computer even on what was the most important college football weekend of the year. But now that the weekend is over I should probably give some thoughts on the weekends events, this being a college football blog and all. Let's start with whats most important; the games, or at least the ones I was able to watch...

USC 44, Arizona State 24- There may come a year that these two are battling for Pac Ten titles year after year. Arizona State wasn't quite "Ready for Prime Time" but this was fun game to watch for reasons other than the hot tail on the sidelines.



Colorado 65, Nebraska 51 Its sad what has happened to this rivalry, once an Orange Bowl playoff game. Now we need gimmicks like Eric Cartman introducing Colorado to get people to watch. And when did the Big XII become the WAC?



Arkansas 50, LSU 48 Of course Les Miles is getting second guessed for some of his play calls in this one. That's what happens when your Les Miles. Its just too bad Glenn Dorsey couldn't be at 100% to add to this matchup vs. Darren McFadden. As it was Run DMC almost single-handedly beat the #1 team in the country. Simply an amazing performance.

Hawaii 39, Boise State 27 If you're seeing more "Vili the Warrior" and less Chrissy Johnson, that ain't good if you're a Bronco fan or a heterosexual male. Boise State needed more tackling practice but this was an impressive win for a team that I rarely watched sober and played two Division I-AA teams, Idaho, and Utah State. This win and a win over Washington should be enough to get Hawai'i into a BCS Bowl.



West Virginia 66, Connecticut 21 Ladies and Gentlemen you now need to start paying attention to the 'eers. A brutal matchup for any lucky DC that should have to play them. But of course now that you're paying attention they are twice as likely to lose.

Tennessee 52, Kentucky 50 Another SEC classic. Even as a Yankee I have always loved this conference and the games seem to get better each year. Now is it politically incorrect to expect Andre Woodson to run those last three yards into the endzone?

Missouri 36, Kansas 28 This was a fun one even if Mizzou seemed in control throughout. Chase Daniel is making the "Best player on a winning team" argument for the Heisman Trophy which will be discussed much more next week.
