Thoughts on the BCS TOP 4

(Cam Newton and Auburn vaulted to #1 with a win over Alabama)

#1 - Auburn

They are here instead of Oregon because they beat Alabama last week. They are a very talented team offensively. With Cam Newton at the helm they can be the best team in college football. As far as he goes is as far as this team goes...that's why you pay him $180,000 a year. Oh and by the way I have no issue with players getting a sweet car or some extra money when they are bringing in as much money for the school as these guys are. Let's not get out of hand but why can't the kid have some extra money for food.

Auburn could be the best team in college football right now, the way they are playing they will be tough to beat. The only concern I have with Auburn is that they do allow a good amount of points per game.

#2 - Oregon

Oregon scores the ball better than anyone in the country. They also play solid defense. The reason they are #2 is because they have not played as tough as a schedule as Auburn. Auburn has South Carolina left and Oregon has Oregon State, so the rankings will be the same if they both win.

I think Oregon could definitely beat Auburn, they can score on anyone in the country it would probably just be a matter of who had the ball last. Certainly one of the most entertaining teams in the country, LaMichael James is a beast.

#3 - TCU

TCU does everything well, but it is hard to compare them to the top teams because of the weakness of their schedule. Every test that TCU has had they passed with flying colors. I think that TCU can compete and beat any team in the country, but they will be left out of the national championship if Oregon and Auburn win out. TCU and Boise State are huge reasons that we NEED A PLAYOFF IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Boise State did lose but if they had not we would of had 2 undefeated teams not playing in the national championship...just stupid.

It is unclear whom TCU will face in it's bowl game but they will compete with anyone so it will be exciting to see what they can do. Also, they are headed to the Big East next year and will certainly do well there.

#4 - Stanford

Andrew Luck is hands down the best QB in the country. Stanford has a great offense and an underrated D (11th in the country). They have only lost to Oregon. If Andrew Luck plays well then Stanford can stay with anyone in the country. If you have not seen this kid play yet then you need to check him out because he might be the best QB we have seen in college in a while.

Other teams in the mix

Wisconsin - Great D, great run game
Ohio State - Terrell Pryor will be a WR in the NFL, but for now he is a great QB for the Buckeyes
Arkansas - Ryan Mallet is huge...capital HUGE
Michigan State - Well rounded team, Cousins is having a good year for them
Oklahoma - Jones to Broyles is one of the best QB to WR combos in the country
LSU - Patrick Peterson is the best DB in the country




Wake Up With Hits...DB Swag

Really hope everyone listened to DG last night because we hit that under really hard, not even close $

Here it is...

Special MNF Hit

I was watching some highlights and stumbled across this beauty. Patrick Willis is one of if not the best LB in football right now, here he is doing what he does and destroying Brad Smith.

You can watch Willis tonight against the Cardinals in a sure fire barn burner (ugh)...

Happy MNF


Monday Night Football Special

(rooting for D in this one, Taylor Mays)

It's Monday so that means we have DG and his lock of the day. If you listened to DG on Thursday then it made your Thanksgiving that much better, if not get with the program.

DG take it away...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Alright betters, I gave you another win with my Turkey Day Teaser. If you didn't listen that's on you. Don't make that mistake again. We have a Monday Night Football game this week that no one cares about Not even Niners or Cardinals fans care, no seriously. This game is will showcase two of the most stagnant offenses in the NFL. So I am taking UNDER 41 tonight. On one hand you have the niners, who were picked by many to win the division and are now seemingly one of the worst teams in the NFL. They are pitted against a city who's hopes left when Kurt Warner said goodbye to the game of football....it was a sad day for football when that happened. I believe Fitzgerald is crying somewhere right now wishing Kurt were back.

So even though this is the QB match up of the year so far, Anderson vs. Smith, we have to UNDER 41.

Until next week....DG OUT!

Incredible Interception

We have all dreamed about doing this right? Well now it has actually happen. Landry Jones just tossing the ball out of bounds and a DB for Oklahoma State has other ideas. He skies to get to the ball and bat it back in play. Another Ok State DB sees this and grabs it.

Absolutely ridiculous...great play

Mid-day GLEE!!!!

I don't watch Glee (anymore) so I was not aware that they did a little football song/dance. Well as I always say anything can happen in High School football. So why not copy the Glee episode and make your own rendition of it...

Is that cool?

Wake Up With Hits...

I am not the biggest Boise State fan in the world, but props are due for how well they have been playing the last 4-5 years. They finally lost to Nevada in OT. For the record that game should of been over twice. I don't know if I have ever seen a kicker miss to FG's to win that were both inside 30 yards. Horrible day for that kid, hope he's doing alright because he cost the team the season.

Boise State hit for you today...

PS - Hope you enjoyed the free NFL $$$$$ DG brought us all on Thanksgiving.

TURKEY DAY TEASER!!!


Thanksgiving football tomorrow so of course we bring the gunning gambling guru out for the picks.

Here is DG with his Turkey Day Teaser...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Alright, sorry about Monday's pick people. Missed it by a point and a half. Maybe if Denver would have pretended they knew what they were doing out there. Oh well, can't win em all. But we can win on Turkey Day, and we will.

Two Team 7 Point Teaser: Patriots +1/2 @ Detroit & Saints +3.5 @ Dallas. The Patriots should beat the lions by at least a touchdown, easy enough. Drew Brees should destroy the Cowboys Defense. Tease them both down, watch both teams win, eat some turkey and collect your winnings. Simple Formula. Watch.Eat.Win. If only everyday were like that.


Until Next week. DG OUT!

Thanksgiving Day Hit

This hit apparently came on Thanksgiving and it's a pretty good one.

Enjoy the football, enjoy the turkey...enjoy the beers...HAPPY EARLY THANKSGIVING

Tuesday Fights

What blog was it that said anything can and will in happen in HS football. I don't remember...but they were certainly right.

Huge brawl here started by some haymakers to the dome. I think I saw some pepper spray in there as well, really crazy fight...is it possible anyone got hurt? Maybe a broken hand from punching helmets...
