OK… since Rick has me addicted, here are how my teams have fared:
- Minnesota shut out Kent State 44-0 on Thursday
- Michigan crushed Vanderbilt 27-7
- Washington is supposed to play San Jose State. If they lose, I will be really pissed off and my Huskies peeps in Seattle will be hearing about this.
- Montana State plays Colorado today.
(Yes… I’m a Bobcat fan. I like their colors better.)
**UPDATE**: The Washington-SJSU game is 21-9 at halftime. *dopeslaps the Huskies for even letting SJSU score*
**UPDATE** The final UW-SJSU score was 35-29. It’s going to be a miserable season for the Dawgs…
**UPDATE** Montana kicked Colorado’s @$$ 19-10.
Yay for the beginning of football season!
No chance of persuading you to join the increasing ranks of US Plymouth Argyle fans, I suppose?
We have a very cool strip (dark green, mainly) and an even cooler manager, Ian Holloway, whose off-the-wall quotes are legendary:
“To put it in gentleman’s terms if you’ve been out for a night and you’re looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they’re good looking and some weeks they’re not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She weren’t the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let’s have a coffee”
– on the “ugly” win against Chesterfield.
“We need a big, ugly defender. If we had one of them we’d have dealt with County’s first goal by taking out the ball, the player and the first three rows of seats in the stands.”
– after a defeat against Notts County.
“”I always say that scoring goals is like driving a car. When the striker is going for goal, he’s pushing down that accelerator, so the rest of the team has to come down off that clutch. If the clutch and the accelerator are down at the same time, then you are going to have an accident.”
And so on. Final reason for following Argyle – we’ve got the striker with the best name in the League – Sylvain Ebanks-Blake. What more could you ask for?
