Navy CheerleadersArmy Cheerleaders

- First we will start out on the East Coast where Pitch Right tells us why the Army-Navy game is the best rivalry in all of sports. I tend to agree with him. Even though the teams are not as good as they once were; it is hard to argue with the intensity and passion of these young men. This is the game that makes or breaks their season. I highly suggest the book Civil War by John Feinstein, for a better look behind the scenes of both schools.


-In Happy Valley there is a lot of buzz around this year’s team. Their schedule is favorable with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Iowa, Purdue, and Wisconsin all at home. Their only tough road game will be their Big Ten Opener against Michigan. One area of concern for the Nittany Lions is their Offensive Line. Mike over at Black Shoe Diaries breaks down the offensive line in this week’s roundtable.


- Over at The Blue-Gray Sky, they talk about the reasoning behind former QB Zach Frazier’s transfer. It is a win-win situation for both. Frazier gets a chance to actually start at a Division 1-A school, while Notre Dame gets another scholarship available for Darth Weis to bring more 4 and 5 star athletes to the Dark Side. And if you are wonder, Frazier has no idea who will start for the Irish this year.


- Joel and Rusty at Rocky Top Talk do a little head scratching because College Football News has Tennessee losing to Cal, Florida and Georgia. But after a bit of analysis they realized that it is entirely possible. Is a 8 or 9 win season enough to keep Fulmer off the hot seat?


- The Oklahoma Sooners have a long and storied history. Stiles over at Stiles Points answers 5 questions about Oklahoma and you will be surprised at some of his answers.


- It wouldn’t be right to have a Cheerleader Edition without the USC Song girls. Trojanwire gives a little write up on the Best Pac-10 coaches of the past 20 years. You guessed it, Pete Carroll is #1. Aside from that, there is nice picture of Pete with the Song Girls in the background.


- Finally we go to Hawaii. Saturday Sound Offs has been running a great feature all offseason called 2-a days. This just recently did their preview on Hawaii. And surprise…surprise, they have them playing in the Hawaii Bowl. Another Hawaii blogger is making his pitch to the ESPN Game Day Crew, to come Halawa for the big game against Boise State. Let’s see, doing the math that would mean that Game Day would air around 4 AM locally in Hawaii.

    Thanks for the shout out!

    The schedule for Hawaii is probably the easiest that I’ve ever seen. Did you happen to see that Matt Hayes think that it might not be their fault in his Sporting News article?

    How could you leave out Texas? Come on, bro, everyone knows the Texas sun breeds beautiful women. Plus the Pom girls have chaps on with tight burnt orange shorts. There is a reason I pay the big bucks for the close up alumni seats, and it is not to see Colt McCoy.
