Five Football Games to Watch: Week 10

by Nico2.0 on Nov 4, 2009 10:41 AM CST in Football

Let's just go ahead and get something straight: I don't care one ounce who else is playing this weekend. We've got a trip to Atlanta on the line this weekend and everything else takes a backseat to that. I wouldn't care if Florida and Texas were playing this weekend at the same time, I wouldn't even flip over to it during commercials.

With that in mind, I'm not doing this column this week. That's not a lazy cop out either. The 2nd best game of the weekend (as far as rankings go) is on at the same time (Penn State vs. Ohio State.) After that game, the drop off is so severe that it's nearly impossible to fathom. I don't care one iota about watching a Big East slap fight (West Virginia vs. Louisville) or "The Battle for the Triangle" (Duke vs. North Carolina) or the myriad of craptastic homecoming-esque games on tap in the SEC (Northern Arizona at Ole Miss, Furman at Auburn, Tennessee Tech at Georgia, Memphis at Tennessee.) You know it's a crappy week when Vanderbilt at Florida is on ESPN2 in prime time.

So, with that in mind, get ready for THE game of the season as far as we're concerned.

MATRIX: Bennett, I thought you were--

BENNETT: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've been waiting to pay you back. Do you know what today is, Matrix? Payday.

Don't be ripping Duke,

If they win on Saturday, they’ll be taking on Georgia Tech in two weeks with a division title on the line.

After the Bama game you can keep it on CBS and watch Fedor vs. Brett Rogers. Should be a good fight for even the mildest MMA fan.

The real question...

IF McElroy does lead us to the promised-land, when should we expect him to land a morning radio show gig with Wes Byrum and random slightly buzzed guy?

Fumbles. It was always Fumbles

I think G. Mac is destined for the Cowboys front office and ghostwritten book about his national championship season (lord willing).

He will still be the most successful ginger since Ron Howard.

Before the Bama game

I’m going to watch Milk. If we lose the game I’ll watch it again.

I don't get it.

I wanted to say something profound

The result was something inexplicable.

i just watched that the other day. it was pretty damn good. sean penn is an amazing actor, and as my wife pointed out, he’s also “clearly the most comfortable one when they have two guys kissing, especially with that pinapple express dude, you can tell he’s acting, but with sean penn not so much…” not that there’s anything wrong with that.

It is a solid movie.

Much better than expected. I want to dislike Sean Penn in so many ways, but he was great in the role.

I watched it the other night also

and I had one of those Mongo McMichael moments, like the one he had before the 1985 NFC Championship game against the Rams. It was like Harvey Milk was my Buddy Ryan. I jumped up and said, “~~Dickerson~~Miles is dead!” I broke a table in half and threw a chair against the wall. Then my wife and I stormed out of the bedroom roaring like bears.
