Jeff Brohm Cured Cancer!!!

The Cards have made some changes on their staff (will that word ever not be funny to me?), and thank the good Lord, they promoted Jeff Brohm to OC. This, while a move they had to make, doesn't seem like a cure-all for this team. What has Jeff Brohm done to prove that he is this magnificent offensive mastermind? They may be successful next year on offense, but I see no way they are better than they were this year. They still lose B. Brohm and Douglas. And no, I didn't forget about Hunter Cantwell. I'm not sold on him at all. I contend that he sucks; walk-ons usually do.

With the departure of Cassity, though, the Cards have another hole to fill at DC. The rage on ITV suggests that they should go "big name," as being the DC at a high-pressure job at a mediocre program on the decline is usually a terrific selling point. I vote for Bob Redman; hell, Manual hasn't figured out the cover zero and they're a magnet school!!!

Interesting tidbit: during most of this season, UL fans were bitching about the schedules of many SEC and Big Ten schools as they play eight home games. UL, however, has eight already scheduled home games for next year with the likelihood of adding a ninth. Nine home games. Equally distributed throughout the week. Also, quit bitching about teams not playing you. YOU ARE NOT ELITE. Good teams don't want a home and home with you b/c they don't want anyone to see them playing in your shitty stadium. It's like being seen at Trixies on a Tuesday afternoon. If you want to gain some more credence, go play at Cal or Oklahoma State or something. UGA agreed to the home and home though, so I still don't see what the bitching is about. Oh, and they will massacre you.

The BCS is in complete destruction mode. I really don't feel like breaking it all down, but something needs to happen. Missouri is out, even though they beat Kansas. Their only losses were to Oklahoma. Thus, since KU didn't play OU, neither KU or Mizzou should be in. They both suck. KU's best win was over mighty Kansas State. Mizzou's was, well, Kansas, or at Illinois. They also throttled Texas Tech; I think they deserved it over the Jayhawks, if at all.

Unfortunately, the MCB is no longer a BCS bowl. We do, however, get to play a washed-up big name program. All the talk about this season being disappointing is really frustrating. First of all, we need to stop comparing ourselves to UL (which I do on a daily basis on this blog). We get too caught up in what they've done and fail to realize what we accomplished this year. For comparison's sake, two things happened this year at Commonwealth that will never happen at Sloppa John's: we beat a #1 team and College GameDay came. We also had a thriller with UT and UL, as well as a great game against future Heisman winner Tim Tebow. What do you want? Are you not entertained? It's impossible to turn into a football powerhouse in one year. We are moving in the right direction. Be glad. Sure, I was unhappy with some of our losses; I believe that we got a little amped after the LSU game and expected some things that this team was unable to achieve. Oh well. Recruiting has really jumped and we look like a team that can be consistently good; stop expecting SEC Championships. Two straight bowls; that's pretty damn good.

OK, basketball. Alex Stepheson is a fucking asshole. I posted on TCP about this, but no one seems to care because of my complete lack of posts. Anyway, he absolutely elbowed Smooth in the mouth on purpose. Had Realease the Squirms posted this, it would have already circulated the interwebs and Roy Williams would be getting bombarded with emails. Anyway, it happened during a dead-ball situation with :44 seconds remaining in the game. I will be emailing the ACC commish. Take it to the streets!!!

One last thing, I love the C-J praising UL's defense after that absolute shitshow with JCrew U. If you saw the end of the game, you would know why I hate T-Will so much. He made two classic T-Will plays: one was when he got fouled and ran the ball to the opposite end of the floor and placed it under the basket, like a douche. The other was when he sealed the game with a steal, on a halfcourt pass, and slammed the ball to the ground. If that game was played at St. Polycarp he would've gotten T'd up.
