ND vs. GT preview

Let's play some oddsmakers:

Even money Demetrius Jones starts at quarterback.

10-1 IT WAS A RUSE ALL ALONG! HERE COMES JIMMY SHARPLEY TO START THE 2007 SEAZON OF DREAMZ! CHARLIE WEIS OWNZ TH3 INT3R3TZ!!!!!!111oneoneoneoneone

Haha, Facebook ftw and all that shit

20-1 More than 50 points are scored in the game. I can't imagine the Irish having the offensive weapondary they had a season ago, but I can't imagine their passing defense completely falling apart against stronger opponents like they did a season ago. GT's starting quarterback Taylor Bennett will most likely be an upgrade from Reggie Ball, but he lacks the imposing receiving threat that Calvin Johnson was last year. (I remember EDSBS.com going nuts over this when Ball was academically ineligible for the bowl game and Taylor threw something like 3 TD's to Johnson. What could have been.)

4-1 A big fight breaks out between ND and GT fans during tailgating/the game. 'Natch. I remember Georgia Tech fans being extremely fired up for last year's contest in what was a very good and watchable game, and they have the advantage going into tomorrow. Somehow, I'm deducing that this will lead to fighting. Maybe I've been to too many MSU/ND games.

10-1 A regular starting QB position is established.

6-1 A regular RB is established. Darius Walker screwed up soooooooo badly in leaving a season early. Good LORD did he screw up. I'm not one to tell him what to do with his life, but last season people said he was too small and not quick enough to be a productive running back, yet he gained something around 1,500-1,700 total yards of offense (I'm too lazy to look up the exact stats, have fun doing that yourself). So say instead of jumping ship early, he busts his butt in the offseason, shows up to South Bend with an additional 10-20 pounds of muscle and bruises defenders in this upcoming season? It wouldn't exactly be Darren McFadden, but suddenly his NFL resume would look a lot stronger.

3-1 People at the bar where I'm watching the game will make way too many fat jokes about Weis, while I think to myself, "pot/kettle/black, you dumbasses."

Even money Thanks to NBC's contract, the game takes at least four hours to complete.

(Although I guess I should be thankful that I'm guaranteed of seeing the Irish play on TV, as opposed to other football teams this weekend...more on that later...)

3-1 odds for an Irish victory. Mark May is a mean-spirited fucktard, but he's right in saying how difficult Notre Dame's year will be. While USC, Michigan, Boston College et. al are returning players and showing their hands, the real capabilties this season's Irish have been veiled from casual college football fans. That changes, of course, tomorrow, and hopefully some pleasant surprises occur south of Touchdown Jesus.

What I'm Doing at Work Today

The image came out fuzzier than I'd prefer, but hopefully you can read the CAPTAIN PLANEEEET!!! up top there. That's right, I'm posting fake resumes onto Careerbuilder.com. My job kicks ass.

What doesn't kick ass is Carlos Zambrano getting paid $91.5 million--a slightly larger contract than what Ichiro has (and mark my words, Ichiro is worth every penny of his)--to do a job you or I could probably do just as well at the moment. 6-1 Brewers over Cubs, Sheets over Big Z. Time to hustle, chum.

Thankfully college football starts tomorrow, and I'll have all sorts of updates on the ND/OSU openers and what's going on with the Big Ten Network. An early note however, to Time Warner in Columbus: DO NOT GIVE IN. BTN IS EVIL. That is all.

Two games up! We're two games up and, wait, what? oh, fuck

Fuck.

If I'd known about this I'd have done it in a heartbeat

Cubs.com's main feature is about 10 finalists auditioning to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley Field. Singing "TMOTTB" at Wrigley is one my lifetime to-do list, along with hiking the Grand Canyon and making love to a different girl from each continent. Maybe next year (for "take me out to the ballgame", the other two can happen whenever).

Anyways, Soriano is set to return tonight, and not a moment too soon. This Cubs team is the most inconsistent division leader in history. They make the Indians look like the 90's Braves.

Really, other than Cubs facing the Brewers over the next three days, I'm just waiting until the weekend for something awesome to happen in sports. I'm working on getting a ticket to the OSU/YSU game, but otherwise, I have some good stuff lined up. Sunday the Columbus Crew are giving complimentary tickets through Ticketmaster, and Sunday evening the WWE is in town and has $20 cheap seats available. My goal is to attend and recap all of this on next Monday/Tuesday, but I'll have previews for the ND/OSU games up by Friday as well.

Transcript of the chat from my fantasy draft

If you don't want to read it, then don't. But I'm posting it regardless, as it was pretty f'ing funny.

For reference, I'm the Wabash Cockblockers.

There'd be more but that's enough. Good times, bitches, good times.

Go Tribe?

I remember a brief period in the 90's when the Cleveland Indians were fantastic and the Browns were tolerable. As fate would have it, as it often does with Cleveland sports, Art Modell took the Browns to Baltimore and the Tribe would end up having a fire sale of sorts after the turn of the century.

So are we now turning the corner again on the sports scene in Cleveland? The Cavs have one of baseketball's best players, the Browns are hoping to have secured the next ten years of the franchise this past spring, and the Indians are hanging tough after having taken two out of three from division rivals Detroit. Of course, they followed that up last night with a loss to Kansas City, but life goes on.

These Indians really do seem like a classy team on paper; their top three pitchers--Fausto Carmon, Paul Byrd and of course the almost incomparable C.C. Sabathia--have to be the envy of clubs with bigger budgets and smaller payoffs (read: NYY). It's just tough that the elite clubs of the American League are not only big spenders but highly complete and competent teams--just look at what they're doing in Seattle right now. Another problem, IMO, is that Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner, for all the praise they receive as wunderkids, could certainly benefit by making a bit more solid contact with the ball from time to time. If Cleveland were a NL team they'd have already lined up a playoff spot. As it is, with two very savvy and experienced clubs in the AL Central trailing them, they have to do what most division leaders are doing and tread the waters through the final couple of weeks in September.

(On a related note, we could be in store for a wild final week of Sepetember and first round of playoff baseball. Stay tuned.)

So while I try not to say anything positive about Sean Marshall taking care of business for once in Arizona, I'll be more than happy to say "Go Tribe" as I jot down two areas of business I want to attend to in Cleveland before I leave Ohio for good:

• Attend a game at Jacobs Field
• Sleep by Lake Erie
  

Man, do I love people named Cliff!

Disclaimer: this is not a post praising the Cubbies (at least not yet). Rather, it's a post praising the efforts of journeyman Cliff Floyd, who returned to the team this week after mourning the death of his father and provided huge hits in Chicago's previous two victories against the San Francisco Giants. On Tuesday night Floyd had a base loaded two-RBI single in a huge 5-1 comeback win, and last night he led off the tenth inning with a double to spur the two runs the Cubs needed to win the game 4-2.

I couldn't stay up and watch these games because they were on the West Coast, but it seems like we've had some excellent pitching efforts over the last week. The Cubs are playing very similar to how they're playing in Ken Griffey Jr.'s Baseball on my emulator on my computer; great pitching, about 4-5 runs at most per game (note: the game came out in 1994). I'm fairly certain for this afternoon's game that it'll take more than a late-inning burst to win; then again, a sweep going into the weekend would be tremendous...but I'm not praising them yet...
