Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

Let me paint a picture. An apocalyptic BCS picture.  If Florida can win the BCS NC with the offense that they had,  then a Big East team could win it all too.  Think about it.  The typical Big East “power” plays a pretty pussified schedule and to make things  worse, ESPN loves the shit out of them.  Could we feasibly be in for a replay of last year’s Orange Bowl?   A Wake Forest-Louisville slugfest? One of the most boring bowl games ever?……Jesus that would be horrible. No way  would I watch a game like that and to think that it would decide a National Champion?

God help us all as Mark May, Lou Holtz and  the rest of the ESPN dickweeds pound us into Big East football is best submission.

Ten showdowns that could shape the 2007 campaign [SI Stewart Mandel].

1. Florida at LSU, Oct. 6

An SEC matchup.  That by itself makes it a great game.  LSU made Herban cry a couple of years ago.  Bet he cries again.

2. USC at Cal, Nov. 10

Fluffing Cal again. Cal has made a living off of beating USC a few years ago.  LSU and VT should have made this list before this game.  A much better matchup than any of the Big East games that somehow made it on here.

3. Louisville at West Virginia, Nov. 8 Who the fuck cares?  well besides ESPN, the Big East fans and smallish offensive linemen that can’t get into any other D-1 Schools nobody gives a shit.

4. Michigan at Wisconsin, Nov. 10 Token Big 10 game.  A conference that is quickly becoming as irrelevant as the Big East.

5. LSU at Alabama, Nov. 3

Alabama’s only on here because Saban is facing his old school and offensive coordinator. I’m surprised they didn’t put the Iron Bowl on there because he’ll be facing his old defensive coordinator. I’ll be glad when they get all the story lines out of the way and we can focus on football.

6. USC at Nebraska, Sept. 15

Since when did Nebraska all of a sudden become good?

7. Texas vs. Oklahoma, Oct. 6  I got nothing on this game.  At least it’s not another Big East “classic”

8. Florida State vs. Alabama, Sept. 29

What is the big man crush on Saban? He’s a great coach, but they act like he’s going to turn the SEC upside down in his first season back. Nothing against Saban, but the SEC has the best coaches in college football; it’s not like he’s coaching against a bunch of amateurs (except for Ed Orgeron and Les Miles).

9. Boise State at Hawaii, Nov. 23
Boise st vs Hawaii??? haaaaaaaaaaah this seriously made the list?

10. Rutgers at Louisville, Nov. 29  Again, who gives a shit?  Someone tell me why the Big East gets a BCS bid?

    At least ESPN got the first game right. I will be TIVOing and watching that game just so I can replay Tebow’s vertebrae being cracked over, and over again.

    I am seriously thinking Tebow will be a quadriplegic after that game.
