Now I did get into a debate with my nephew on facebook a few days ago, as he'd posted asking how Florida possibly could have a chance against Oklahoma. I seriously thought the Sooners would win, but I didn't think they were a world ahead of Florida either, and given the Sooners' performance in past bowls.

Maybe that's a lot of what I love about college football. The tradition, the history, but more than that the character that is part of the game, leave a sense of pride. I'm sure maybe it's just as true in about any other sport but perhaps just the influence of where I grew up, in a place where college football was everything, that becomes the http://www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com/blogs/2009/01/pride.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ron)1<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=julXdvqFJoY:0Bxnkn_Bgv8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=julXdvqFJoY:0Bxnkn_Bgv8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?i=julXdvqFJoY:0Bxnkn_Bgv8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20305702.post-2488336746588223637Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:30:00 +00002008-12-08T10:50:50.630-06:00<?xml:namespace prefix = color />While this has been my most poorly blogged season to date, I did give some time to the University of Buffalo when they were about to play Missouri for the championship. In my last post I referenced gettign to go to a Nebraska Oklahoma game, Turner Gill was the quarterback for Nebraska in that game.

Of course that changed when Oklahoma beat Tech, I've just been too lazy to change the site. Oklahoma being the current champ definitely has a level of nostalgia. Growing up in Nebraska, there was always that rivalry with the Sooners. I remember some great games, and great plays.

For a team that most said wasn't supposed to come close, they hung in the game a lot longer than expected. I think it's a safe bet you'll be hearing more from them as time goes on. Missouri gets a break for this week, with their next challenge being at Nebraska.

For the first time, I got a response. Turner Gill, head coach of the Buffalo Bulls, responded back "Hello Ron, Thank you for the kind words & the interesting way of looking at our upcoming Missouri game."

Buffalo Bulls. Buffalo Bills.... I'm not sure which came first, but you have to wonder if someone from one organization didn't get a little miffed when the other came out with a nicname so close to the other.

While the game was never quite close enough to be totally suspenseful, it was a far cry better than the start of the past few seasons.

My buddy George likes to let me know what a stupid idea it all is and insists I get a life (though it's interesting he has nothing better to do with his own time than send derogatory emails complaining about stuff on a website).

More specifically, the problem with the voter element comes is that of poll manipulation.

Of course first and foremost, we got a new national champion out of the deal. Arkansas now takes over the throne, defeating LSU to become the new Heavyweight Football National Champion.

I finally figured it out. I think they're hypocrites. Probably the one that got me going the most was listening to one of them, I believe it was Mel Kiper (since I was working my real job at the time I didn't gethttp://www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com/blogs/2007/10/pundit-hypocrisy.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ron)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=4a_6BOpKkQ8:6bhYx46F59g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=4a_6BOpKkQ8:6bhYx46F59g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?i=4a_6BOpKkQ8:6bhYx46F59g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20305702.post-185434371538625710Wed, 17 Oct 2007 03:01:00 +00002007-10-16T22:18:13.580-05:00Of course there is a lot of discussion about whether South Florida can hang on to its top 2 position. The question being whether a 1 loss team like an LSU will catch up to them in the end. Because of the position that computers have in the BCS standings, a question some of the pundits should consider is, will Ohio State be able to hold on to their position. I'll say this now, if South Florida,http://www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com/blogs/2007/10/now-that-bcs-standings-are-out.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ron)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=LsaaPppFIFU:Y1CoV3E3yyM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=LsaaPppFIFU:Y1CoV3E3yyM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?i=LsaaPppFIFU:Y1CoV3E3yyM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20305702.post-9213550516117045158Sat, 08 Sep 2007 17:44:00 +00002007-09-08T12:56:34.618-05:00With a great week of college football games coming up, I'm listening to as much sports radio as possible, watching TV looking forward to what people have to say. And I have to say, there's one phrase that drives me nuts as much as any: Breaking it down. Everyone uses it and it nauseates me. Breaking down this matchup. Breaking down the rosters. Someone was even going to break down a NASCARhttp://www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com/blogs/2007/09/break-it-down.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ron)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=YHqIp1hARv4:5qAaYzvOEHE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=YHqIp1hARv4:5qAaYzvOEHE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?i=YHqIp1hARv4:5qAaYzvOEHE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20305702.post-9012738655845226262Fri, 07 Sep 2007 01:35:00 +00002007-09-06T20:53:36.795-05:00I've sent emails off here and there lately making declarations such as Troy Trojans to play for National Championship. And the thought occurred to me the last time I did this, what right do i have to make such a declaration? Really, who am I to make such a declaration, after all I'm not in any position of authority whatsoever in the college football world.

They're off and running, with a lot more consistency so far anyway than this particular blog, but so far they've had some interesting takes. The idea of the blog is to focus more on coaching... so maybe they'll come around to questions like has Bill Callahan really earned his 3 year extension for 1.75 million dollars a http://www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com/blogs/2007/09/coaching-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ron)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=2ox52MM6eCo:qQ7T8fpoN0Y:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?a=2ox52MM6eCo:qQ7T8fpoN0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/heavyweightfootballchamps/saTa?i=2ox52MM6eCo:qQ7T8fpoN0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20305702.post-7309083852857884476Sun, 02 Sep 2007 13:59:00 +00002007-09-02T09:07:50.533-05:00Appalachian State? For the first time ever, a non Division 1A team has pulled off a win over ranked team, and this was not only a ranked team, but one of the teams expected to be in the hunt for the BCS Championship game. Is this proof that anyone can beat anyone? Keep in mind that Appalachian State is not just anyone. They are the 2 time defending national champions in Division 1AA.

Anyway, the new season is just days away. Woohoo!! I noticed an error on my main page that had been sitting there for far far too long. I had down that Florida's first title defense was supposed to be against Southern Mississippi. Instead it's Western Kentucky.
