Tech had a Bye-week on Saturday

... and yet we still had a W for the day. Vandy beat Georgia. At home. Hoo hoo hoo hoo hooooo!

Sadly, we are no longer ranked above them in the Top 25... BECAUSE THEY'RE NO LONGER IN THE TOP 25! Beautiful, just beautiful!

Saturday was a weird day for college football. A lot of upsets, and a lot of near-upsets. Poor Ole Miss. I was really pulling for them against 'Bama. (Sorry, Sam... and what would you have done if BenJarvus Green-Ellis had gotten the best of your beloved Tide?) They were soooo close. College football is weird, because although they lost to Georgia back in Week 5, Ole Miss did beat Vandy (one of their 2 wins, sadly). I've been told that soccer (excuse me, my international friends... football) is even crazier for upsets, but Week 7 definitely gives it a run for its money. I was pulling for Arizona State to get the upset over USC, too... more than anything because it would have wreaked havoc with the BCS (Bowl Championship Suckiness). But that's another discussion for another day!

Saturday was also a lovely chance for Miami to prove their thugishness. Not only did they get into a brawl with little FIU, but one of their alums who was calling the game was happy to see the brawl. Good grief. I talk a lot of smack, especially where Georgia is concerned, but I wouldn't be happy to see a brawl at the Tech-Georgia game. Making fun of slack-jawed yokels is one thing, but taking your helmet off and using it as a weapon is quite another. And while it's true that FIU apparently started the brawl, and that one FIU player was taking swings at players with his crutches, Miami was already beating them on the scoreboard. Did they really have to let it get physical? Well, they're Miami, so... yes, yes they did. It's not like this type of behavior is new for them.

It's a shame that the suspensions are only for one game. It would have been nice to have that going on our side for Homecoming... but at least poor Duke will have a chance this Saturday... tee hee... snrrkkk... hoo hoo... AHEM. Sorry.

The funniest thing to come out of the drama was Coker being asked during a press conference if he has control of the team. He was not amused by the question, but I sure am!

Okay, Clemson, here we come! It might just be the ACC Championship Game preview...
