State of the Nation - Week 2

Before I get started, here's a little video to sum up my feelings about the UGA-USCum game.



When Spurrier ends up in hell I hope all the cool people shun him. Click-fucking-clack.

My frustrated bemusement at the Georgia offense aside, it was a pretty entertaining weekend of football. Michigan and Notre Dame lost again, which was very unsurprising and incredibly satisfying. Still, I'll have to suffer through some bullshit stories about redemption leading up to their game, but at least neither is ranked.

LSU rocked Virginia Tech like a hurricane, dominating in every phase. Flynn fired bullets at wide open targets, the defense snuffed the life right out of the Va. Tech offense and the massacre was well under way by the end of the first quarter, really before Va. Tech had a chance to respond. Congrats on winning the Golden Mask LSU. Here's hoping something horrible happens that you will have a chance to defend the Tragampionship next year.

The Big East had an up and down week for a conference that won most of its games. Cincy and USF looked impressive against solid BCS teams, while Louisville, WVU and Rutgers struggled to dispatch overmatched opponents. Syracuse continued to be dreadful.

The Pac-10 was solid, with the exception of Oregon State's dismantlement by Cincy. Oregon was impressive against a beleagured Michigan team, Washington beat a pretty good Boise State team and Cal and UCLA managed to hang on for wins against pretty solid non-BCS teams.

My revised prediction for the winner of the SEC East is I have no fucking clue. Anyone but Vandy could win it as far as I can tell.

I may be interested in this weekend by Wednesday, but right now the thought of watching a college game is nauseating.
