FINALLY!!!

Finally the time has come - the end of summer, tourists have gone home, and football has started. The long weekend certainly brought some exciting sporting events including the much anticipated start of college football. The O's beat the Yanks and round 2 of the FedEx Cup provided us some high scoring, fantastic golf. In a way the Labor Day weekend provided so many options one certainly could of been a victim of sensory overload.

Thursday night kicked off the 2010-2011 college football season. Sure most of the games were warm-up games pitting high ranked power houses stomping the shit out of the weaker yet well paid scrub teams. However, there were some games that went down to the wire and some games where the power house teams didn't look to good.

My Canes won convincingly which gives me some kind of hope they will win when they face Thee Ohio State U. next this weekend. OSU also stomped up on there opening opponent and they took look as good as touted.

DA Booth's Seminoles lived up to their billing and showed great promise under the new Jimbo regime. They too have a tough one this weekend when they square off against Oklahoma who didn't look as good in their opening game.

Fritz's Irish looked like the Irish of old under the new whistle of coach Kelly. I actually watched the whole game and was quite impressed. Perdue is a solid team with some solid NFL caliber players. I was really impressed the the ND defense. This years D looked faster and more physical than recent ND defenses. It makes you wonder if Charlie ever cared about defense - I don't think so. This Saturday will answer a lot of questions when ND takes on Michigan. Michigan looks to be on the rebound with the help of their extremely explosive and talented, true freshman QB.

It's now 8:00 pm and the Boise State - Virginia Tech game is about to kick off. Media outlets are billing this as "the game of week" and I hope it lives up to it's billing. I know this game sparked a lot of blogging controversy lately and we will soon find out who was right.

The O's beat the Yankees today snapping a 7 game losing streak at Yankee stadium this year. Great job Orioles... I know there are a lot of guys on this site that love ya and are sticking by you to the bitter end.

Charley Hoffman - the young Californian who looks like Hurricane Earl blew him in to the Boston coast on his surfboard - won the 2nd round of the FedEx cup firing a 9 under 62 in the final round.

On a side note I would like to congratulate FIGJAM on his fabulous final round 76 which included a double bogey and a triple bogey. Is it just me or is this becoming more and more common with Phil. Maybe the pressure of surpassing Woods as #1 is getting to him. Maybe it's his lack of focus or his newly, yet conveniently, diagnosed arthritic condition. Maybe it's his gay ass, spandex fitting, white pants playing in the muddy conditions, apparel choices. I don't have a fucking clue but I know one thing - lately I am finding myself rooting more for Phil to shit the bed then hoping Tiger gets his shit together. Phil buddy... you had your chance. Tiger showed today that he is getting it together and before long he will extend that #1 ranking gap and it will be so far out of reach you won't be able to catch it with the private jet you own.

Aww Shucks!!!
