BCS Title Game and other nuggets of knowledge

LSU is the BCS National Champion for the 2nd time. They are the only school to do this. For a good part of the season, most people would say that LSU won in spite of Les Miles. You could certainly point to the Auburn game and I would have a hard time arguing. Last night, "The Hat" looked like he knew what was going on. He threw off Jim Tressell with a number of plays, including that quick snap and throw to the tight end while having 4 receivers lined up on the right side. Les Miles may not be Nick Saban, but he's not a total idiot. Urban Meyer has been at Florida 3 seasons. Miles has been at LSU for 3 seasons. Do you know their records? Miles is 34-6 while Meyer is 31-8. I know Meyer had to implement a system different from the Zooker, but Miles also had problems (one being he and his then OC Jimbo Fisher weren't too fond of one another). Anyways, my point is that Meyer is looked on as being some sort of genious and innovator while Miles is a complete idiot that's winning off Saban's ability to recruit. Miles has the better 3 year record and I would say they have close to equal talent (LSU did have 4 NFL 1st Round picks last year to Florida's 2), but that 2006 Florida team did have 11 guys that were All SEC 1st or 2nd team and 3 guys that were on the All SEC Freshman team. Just something to think about....


Pancakes w/ syrup and powdered sugar:

-Clemens/McNamee taped phone conversation did nothing for me. Clemens knew he was taping and McNamee sounded like he knew he was being taped. I guess Congress next week will help clear some of this up.

-Joe Gibbs is retiring. 31-36 in 4 years. This had to be an easy decision for Gibbs when he didn't even know the rules (see Buffalo game). LaRon Landry will be a stud. That's about all that franchise has to look forward to.

-Kobe Bryant invades FedEx Forum tonight. I will be doing "Roser on the Street" at the game. I will be asking for random peoples opinion on Damon Stoudamire requesting a trade and what they would trade him for? Lakers are playing well, but they've played 18 home games and only 14 road games (8-6 on the road). Grizz have been playing well, so here's a chance to pull a big W.

-June Jones is now at SMU. No brainer when you're offered $2million per season, but when you're in C-USA making that then you know they aren't paying you to make the Liberty Bowl every now and then. They want a BCS Bowl.

-Terrell Owens is a game time decision for Sunday vs. NY Giants. If TO plays then Dallas wins. If TO doesn't play then the Giants win. Yes, he means that much to their offense.

-I'd still put Steve Nash ahead of Chris Paul for the NBA All Star Game. Nash is averaging a league high and career best 12.3apg. Sorry Chris, you'll have to wait until Nash retires. Don't worry CP3, you'll be on the roster.

-The Celtics do have a shot at breaking the Bulls single season win record, but would it be more impressive? I think so. When Chicago did it there were only 2 teams that had a chance at the Title (Seattle and Chicago). The Spurs won 59 games in the 95-96 season, but they always won a lot of regular season games. They didn't start winning titles until Timmy D got there. Then there's the Jordan factor. Nobody else had a chance at the title because this guy was still playing. This year I would say Boston, Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix have a chance to win the title. I won't throw in Detroit because they don't have a true superstar. I'll try to prove the league is deeper and more balanced today than it was in 95-96, so once I find a website that tracks how many games teams are on pace to win then I'll get back to you. I know there's a way to do it mathematically, but that takes up time that I do not have right now. Hey, it's something to think about....

-Nicole Kidman is preggy with Keith Urban's 2nd child. Anyone else question her decision making in guys? Tom Cruise (homo) and now Keith Urban (alcoholic).

-Chyna hinted she may be in the next season of "Dancing With The Stars." Why is she not on "American Gladiators?"

-Jamie Lynn Spears is getting her GED. You'll need that now that your TV show has been cancelled.

If you're offended by bad language then don't watch this...it's funny though...I need to find this kind of bum...
