Video of the Day

I guess Bill Belichick is a pretty cool guy once he is away from football. This video features Belichick, Charlie Weis, and Bon Jovi singing at a charity benefiting Weis' foundation 'Hannah & Friends.'



Hannah & Friends is an organization Weis and his wife setup for children with learning disorders.

Say what you want about either Belichick or Weis, you have to admit that was pretty cool. They are on stage with Bon Jovi singing 'Wanted Dead or Alive'. The guys from 'Deadliest Catch' would approve.

Jon Gruden to Norte Dame?

According to Profootballtalk.com, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden could become the next Norte Dame after the recruiting season.

The reason why Norte Dame wouldn't fire Charlie Weis wouldn't be fired until after recruiting season is to get recruits to the school and make it harder for them to transfer.

Weis who was speculated to be fired, was not let go until after Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly said he was staying at Cincinnati.

This would be another poor choice by Norte Dame if they carry out this plan. Say what you want about Weis but you shouldn't let him twist in the wind. Then you shouldn't also allow kids to commit to your school and then fire the coach they committed to. Also Gruden has no college experience.

While Gruden grew up in South Bend and always wanted to attend Norte Dame, he would be a poor choice. He hasn't coached in the college ranks in over 20 years. And we have seen with guys like Weis and former Syracuse coach Greg Robinson former NFL coaches are not always the best choice for the college ranks.

This will be an interesting story to follow.

The Mourning After

Game of the week: The Missouri-Kansas game was one for the ages. Kansas was down to Missouri 37-33 with about 1:00 remaining in the game. Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing drove the team down the field with a coolness to him that reminded me of Joe Montana. With 27 seconds left and a 4Th-and-7 Reesing felt the pressure, stepped up in the pocket and threw a floater to Kerry Meier for a game winning 26-yard touchdown. This was the best game of the week, in a week full of great games.

Coach of the Week: Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson gets my vote. Tech hadn't beat Georgia since 2000. Georgia took a 28-12 lead into halftime, and it looked over for the Yellow Jackets. But you should never count out Georgia Tech now that Johnson is the coach. His old fashioned Flexbone Offense, tore up the Georgia defense 472 yards on the ground. Georgia knew what was coming and they couldn't do anything about it.

Paul Johnson in my opinion is one of the best coaches in college football. While at Navy, Johnson's teams always preformed very well despite being smaller than their opponents. Georgia Tech was smart by making him their head coach, because Tech will be a force to be reckon with for years to come.

Goat of the Week: Norte Dame was routed by USC 38-3 and all the blame will fall on their coach Charlie Weis. There has been chatter all week that Weis's huge buyout will not affect Weis future with Norte Dame. In all likely hood, the pressure will be to much for Norte Dame officials to keep Weis around and they will be forced to buyout his contract.

The Norte Dame offense only accumulated 91 yards of offense for the entire game. This does all fall on Weis. He is suppose to be an offensive genius. Norte Dame was never going to be out schemed in a game. The offense and developing his young players is where Weis failed. This is the reason why he should be fired.

The debating begins: With Oklahoma winning last night their is a three-way tie in the Big 12 South between the Sooners, Texas Tech, and Texas. The BCS standings(which come out latter today) will determine who is the winner of the Big 12 South.

My vote would be for Oklahoma. They played their best game yesterday, beating their rival Oklahoma St. The Cowboys would not go away last night, so Oklahoma had to keep on scoring to put them away.

Texas also played their rival Texas A&M but they blew them out, in a game they were expected to win big. Oklahoma gets my vote because their win was more impressive. My gut feeling though Texas will get more BCS votes and will win the Big 12 South.

Going out in Style: While former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer didn't have the year he wanted, he went out in style by beating the teams Tennessee has always beat up on. They beat Vanderbilt last week, and this week the beat up Kentucky(a team he has never lost to). Fulmer is a classy guy and we wish him luck in his future endeavors.
