Holiday Break Recap

Quick Holiday recap…

I don’t want to hear anyone say anything when Memphis gets a #1 ranking by February 1 “because they play in C-USA”. That team has played some serious competition – granted at home and neutral sites – and beaten them all handily.

Speaking of Memphis, why do they even still have a football team?

Speaking of football, why does Arkansas even have a quarterback put pads on? McFadden, Jones, and Hillis?? Please. Short yardage passes to Hillis or Jones or hand-offs to Jones or Hillis or keepers by McFadden. Take the extra position and put another blocker in. But too late for that…already been killed by Mizzou.

Speaking of getting killed, welcome to the real world Hawaii. You’ve been putting up Playstation numbers against Playstation opponents…Georgia beat your brains out. You got paid, I’ll give you that. You got some of that BCS moolah, but beyond that all you did was justify everything that everyone’s been saying all season long.

Let’s see, what else? NFL? The Patriots pulled off an amazing accomplishment. In my opinion, it’s a culmination of dynasty that began in 2001. New England got the reputation (deservedly so) of being a contender. Great coaching. Great QB. Great talent in the non-skill positions. The result is players willing to take pay cuts to play for a team all but guaranteed to go to the SuperBowl. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, but pardon me if I don’t get really excited about what is essentially an all-star team. It’s basically an All-Star team playing in an excessively average era in NFL.

Speaking of excessively average, Whodat? Dang near everybody. The Saints were hurt and were ugly before that. I'm just glad the beating is finally over.

As is Hawaii!
