10 words for the Top 10

Ugh, sorry this is a little late.  USA Today released the coach's poll last Friday with the top 25.  Here are 10 words for each of the top 10 teams.

10. Iowa (Big Ten) -Someone else from the Big Ten in the Top Ten?!?!?

9. Nebraska (Big Twelve) - Hit me up after they play some games and I'll re-evaluate

8. Oklahoma  (Big Twelve) -No more Sam Bradford, I might cry myself to sleep.

7. TCU (Mountain West) - Another season with the Horned Frogs rising to the top?

6. Virginia Tech (ACC) - The Hokies usually bomb with a top 10 ranking - grrrrreat!

5. Boise State (WAC) - Number 5 until Tech smokes you by surprise (on) Labor Day

4. Texas (Big Twelve) -The defending National Championship Runner up gets the best ranking

3. Florida (SEC) - No more Tim Tebow, I might become a Florida Fan.

2. Ohio State (Big Ten) - Pryor and Tressel lead the Bucks to Championship number 8?

1. Alabama (SEC) -I would like to start seeing the Tiiiiide roll away.....

Alright.  First order of the day each day is to check my gmail.  Second order of the day is to check espn.com.  This is a daily occurrence for me from August - December.

Today - August 5, 2008.

The top headlines for college football are:

Is it just me, or are 70% of the college football headlines about players, coaches or teams that are in trouble for something?

Come on, people.  Maurice Clarett had to go to Jail.  Michael Vick had to go to Jail.  Reggie Bush has to give back his Heisman Trophy.  Nothing good comes from being a delinquent!

SHEEEEESH!!!

Well, top 25 comes out tomorrow...so at least I have THAT to look forward to!

JoPa

I realize by making the following statement, I run the risk of being kicked out of my family (by my dad)

Joe Paterno is a legend. 

Homeboy has been the head coach of Penn State since 1966.  In 1966 my dad was in 8th grade.

Seriously, he's 83 years old and he's about to enter into his 61st season as the head coach at Penn State.  In the last few years he's struggled with some health issues keeping him on and off the field at various times through the season.  

• A Wisconsin football player ran into him on the sidelines, JoPa had to get knee surgery
• He was goofing around with his players during practice, JoPa had to get hip surgery.
• He had a reaction to some medicine, JoPa was out for a few more games
• Etc.
• Etc.

I mean, come on, buddy, I'm worried about you!  I was watching an interview from Big Ten Media Days and your voice is quiet, slow and weak.  Please, take a nap or something!

Regardless, he's a super trooper.  Beloved by his players and fans.  Has steered clear of any controversy and has been nominated to President Obama to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom - the highest award any U.S. civilian can receive.

When JoPa does finally step down, it will have a huge effect on college football.  I mean, what type of human interest stories will they run on Gameday when Penn State plays? :)

BAM. I'm Mark's daughter again!
