College Football Review

Now that the college football season is in the books Sports Observer Monthly will give some final thoughts on all things college football.

First Mizzou still sucks!

Second Kansas had another disappointing season for all the KU alumni across the nation. The Jayhawks started out the season strong going 5 and 0 and getting all the way up to number 16 in the nation. Then a mid October trip to Colorado to face the Buffs derailed the Jayhawks season and cost the Big Man Mark Mangino his job. They limped across the finish line with a disappointing 5 and 7 record. No Bowl, No winning season, No more Mangino. After the debacle of last season KU decided to bring in a new coach Turner Gill from the University of Buffalo. Hopefully he can bring back some of the prestige to the program that was lost this season, and the main key to doing that is getting the Jayhawks ready to play the Big 12 South. If he doesn't KU fans will be left with that bad taste in their mouths after another disappointing season.

Third! What a game last night in the BCS Championship game presented by Citi. The top two teams in the country by ranking battling it out under the lights of the Rose Bowl. Texas showed a lot of fight after Colt McCoy was knocked out of the game on the second series of the game. The baby faced freshman came into the game like a scared deer on the first day of rifle season in Missouri. He looked like he was traveling in the slow lane on the freeway and the Alabama defense was in the fast lane blowing him away. Yet he stayed in there and fought and clawed the Longhorns back into the game. Still Alabama was the superior team last night with Saban on the sideline leading the team and the Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram leading the offense down the field for multiple scores. Overall it was a great team between two great teams.

Just a few side notes from last nights game. The worst quote of the night comes from our old friend Brent Musburger he stated "The freshman quarterback has some great genes since his Daddy played eight years in the NFL" What does this have to do with the kid playing quarterback? Yes his Dad may of played in the NFL but that didn't help hime one bit when the Alabama defense was flying around him like a pack of hornets. It's Sports Observer Monthly's take that Musburger needs to hand up the mic. He has been a great announcer over the years but it's time to find a better play by play man to put with the wonder boy Kirk Herbstriet. Second has anyone ever seen a coach as mad getting dumped with Gatorade in the history of sports as Nick Saban was last night. He didn't like it one bit he was doused with the red gatorade, he didn't crack a smile, laugh, or even say anything. He was probably mad since his hair and nice white shirt got messed up. At least after the clock said 0:00 he showed a little emotion after such a big win for the program.

As the college football season closes a new chapter begins in the the lives of all of us who watch sports on TV the NFL Playoffs. It's wild card weekend and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Sports Observer Monthly staff will be taking in all four games this weekend. Look for new posts soon about this weekends action. Till next time keep the remote close and the beverages cold.
