A look back at the weekend that was in football

Before I get too far into my thoughts, I must apologize to Cake as in Penn Kate. I was wrong about PSU v Michigan. Penn State is better than Michigan. They proved it and I will never doubt Penn State again....unless they play USC in the Rose Bowl or an SEC team in the Outback/Capital One bowl. Go Penn State.

Now then, this Thursday in SBF's sneak peek of the weekly Score Atlanta Around The Dial column, you can officially read my thoughts on Tim Tebow's ducking the media after throwing two picks against Miss State. Umm Tim, you know that big boys talk to the media after bad games. Try this in the NFL next season when you play poorly and see if you don't get ripped 10X worse than just by Score Atlanta. Oh, wait, that's right. The media doesn't really talk to rookie fullbacks. Joe Cox talks to the media after bad games. So does Crompton. You need to as well. That was crappy of you that you let Urban take the blame for putting you in bad spots. Dude, you are a senior, tuck the ball (since that's what you do best) or throw it away. You aren't a freshman anymore. But you ducked. And when you could have just said, "It was a big win for Florida. I'm glad my teammates could pick me up, etc." Shame on you... For more, pick up this week's Score Atlanta!

Speaking of Florida, if Florida plays as poorly this Saturday as it has the past two Saturdays, Georgia has a shot. Just saying.........

Hey Alabama, you deserved to drop to No.2 after that display of offensive offense. 12 points? against Tennessee? Even Georgia score more than that! Thank goodness Mt. Cody lost that weight so he could jump up to block TWO field goals.

Quick question for Lane Kiffin though. How come you decided to sit on the ball with 30+ seconds left to attempt a 44-yard field goal? RUN THE BALL UP THE MIDDLE. Throw it deep. Do something. Now Kiffin comes out today and says he didn't want a "magic flag" to come out. Dude, whatever. You spent all off-season talking about how you were going to try and whip these guys. Ummm you played not to get blown out and you were settling for the field goal. GO FOR THE THROAT, LANE. You are losing that cred you built up in my opinion. You should have gone for the game-winning TD to really be able to show the recruits something besides just a helicopter. All you can show them is that you didn't get blown out by Florida and Alabama. "Hey, Come to Tennessee where you will lose, but not get blown out!" Sign me up.

I guys LeBron's talk to Pryor worked. Or the schedule saying Ohio State was playing Minnesota helped. I bet it was the latter.

Iowa won on a last-second field goal. Wow, you mean to tell me we could have another undefeated Big10 team possibly sneak into the BCSCG if Texas loses? AWESOME!

Cincy dropped to No.8 as TCU passed Boise State. Can we please put TCU against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl and then have NO ONE WATCH, so the bowl can get the lowest ratings ever and then people will realize NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH THESE TEAMS? But as for Cincy, I'd put an undefeated Bearcats team ahead of an undefeated Iowa or one-loss Texas team in the national championship game. What? I would. Not over a one-loss SEC team though.

USC barely beat Oregon State. But CPC can still say his true freshman QB is undefeated, and should Texas lose, that would be his case. I think USC loses to Bama or Florida though.

Finally, Keith Brooking made an ass of himself with the arm-flapping and dirty bird-mocking yesterday. And for much of the second half the dude was on the sidelines doing the celebrating while his defensive teammates were the ones on the field making the plays. DUDE, you had TWO TACKLES. YOU DIDN'T DO ANY OF THE STUFF YOU WERE CELEBRATING. Way to screw yourself out of a future as a Falcons ambassador, and don't be surprised if you get stonewalled by your former friends on the Falcons if you ask them to help you and your charities after the way you acted. One other funny thing, you reportedly went around and apologized to everyone after the game for your actions (according to the ajc) but then when being interviewed, you said "I ain't apologizing for nothing." ( nice grammar with the double negative with the ain't)

You know what you should like Brooking? You sound like the a-hole that flips off the home fans then says, "Well that wasn't my character. That isn't the real me." Umm, yes it was. We saw how you were in the heat of battle. You cannot go back AFTERWARDS and say that wasn't you. Yes it was. That was you. Your words may say one thing, but your actions speak volumes. A picture is worth one thousand words and you can beat there is a picture of you being an ass. In fact, there is one on ajc.com today. One thousand words, right there. You'd better start talking now. And please try and NOT use the word "Ain't." Just a suggestion.
