Actual picture of a WVU fan’s head exploding

Last week’s games, were to put it bluntly, really boring. There weren’t any great match-ups which made our friend Orson go crazy and pick the Oregon State Beavers to upset Penn State Nitaly Lions. He fully repented to me on last night EDSBS Live, and gives us a whole slue of other picks that we should not follow if we are a betting man.

One of the biggest upsets of this past weekend was East Carolina beating up West Virginia and possibly de-Heismaning Pat White. My first thoughts were not of sorrow for Mountaineer fans, but I immediately wondered if our pal John Radcliff had the stones to write a song mocking his team. John never fails and here is his songbook from this week on how Bill Stewart Ruined His Dreams.

Kate is the only thing more beautiful than Neuheisel

Speaking of Skip Holtz, Sean Keeley over at TNIAAM is already looking forward to the end of the Greg Robinson era and possibly the start of the Skip Holtz era? He points us to an article which discusses the possibility but calls the Syracuse job…a coach killer! Since when has Syracuse drop to the depth of coaching hell that was the Temple Owls? Don’t worry Sean, things can only get better, Midnight Madness for College Basketball is only a short time away.

Rebounding from their Week 1 loss to Bowling Green, who by the way lost to Minnesota this week, Pitt Panther fans are still left scratching their head about their offense. There was a lot of concerned among the faithful when it was found that the offense playbook was leaked on the internet and Buffalo had full access to it. But later it was noted that Offensive Coordinator Matt Cavanaugh believes the fact that between the hashes was a no-fly zone for passing.

BYU beat Washington at the end of the game by blocking an extra point. This week they play pretty boy Rick Neuheisel and his upstart UCLA Bruins. For some discussion and analysis on the game where the teams will play 3 times in a matter of 10 months, check out Bruins Nation.

Now for the big game, THE Ohio State BUCKEYES against the USC Trojans. I’ll talk more abotu this game on the podcast tomorrow night with Adam Nettina, but there is already so much good stuff around the blogosphere about the game:
