10/2011 Roundup: TTU!
October 23rd 2011 07:03
Dude, today was the day I immersed myself in the wonders of college football. How can it be that the World Series is somehow overcome by a sport in which players are illegally paid to play? The answer is simple; college football kicks ass. Pardon me for my language that trumps standard elementary school vocabulary, but my previously candid statement sums everything up perfectly. How else can I describe a tipped Hail Mary pass that sent one of my favorite teams to victory? Order a schadenfreude movie on DVD now! Underneath a libel washes the motorway.
Now, LSU's romping of Auburn only serves as a warning to the only other team who can play with them; 'Bama. LSU is basically saying, "Yo Saban, which just owned your rival. Come play us and see some real swag on a football field." Landry Jones and his deflated bunch have pretty much dropped themselves out of the class of LSU and 'Bama, if they were ever in that class to begin with. Oh yeah, you know, I don't care much for those damned rankings at the beginning of the season. Nobody has ever seen anybody play, so they don't mean anything at all. The term is meaningless- I know- but the nonsensical rambling of a sports blogger are droning through an equally meaningless post.
Worth mentioning is that this all happened in the midst of perhaps the greatest World Series performance ever. Now is a good time to get off Albert Pujols, because he went 5-6 with three homers and some more counting stats that escape me at the moment. That's why he's still the best, and it's also why the Cardinals need to go after him like you would after that one chick at the dance.
An interesting thing to note is that the Cardinals had the third highest regular season Beane Count, whilst the Rangers were out of the top five. Another thing to note is that Pujols had the highest Game Score of any player in the playoffs or regular season in a single game (position players only, as pitchers are on a different scale in GSC). Yeah, Pujols was that beast.
