Tuesday Afternoon Linebacker

After watching the Bucs fall Sunday evening, and drop my personal rooting interests to a combined 0-4 for the weekend, I had decided to just scrap the TALB for this week. I was pissed off all the way around. But then I started thinking about the games, and a post started to form. And besides, I have a duty to my reader to do this every week so he’ll have something to read.

Sorry for my lateness, you should just be glad that I showed up for this fake sh–, oh wait. I’m not Kanye West. Anyway, it’s been a hellish week and I had hoped to get out the TALB Wednesday morning. But it didn’t happen. Don’t expect picks before Friday either.

In football news, the Bucs won a game on paper, but not in reality. The Gators figured out how to win a tough SEC game. And the Bulls were not punished too harshly for a loss to an un-ranked team. (more…)

As will be the custom going forward; once the BCS rankings come out the college picks will switch from AP to BCS.

The Bucs and Bulls went out and won over the weekend. Both teams looking to sustain their success thus far through the season. And while both are solidly contending for post-season glory, they haven’t proved jack squat just yet. For the Bulls the fall can be potentially fatal. They are living the good life on the wacky upset-fest that 2007 has been. One lop-sided loss and those fickle pollsters will drop them faster than Nike did Mike Vick. On the other hand, the Bucs have some room to wiggle. The NFC South is not good, it’s okay, but not great. 10-6 or 11-5 should take this division. But that doesn’t mean they can relax either. Both local football concerns are still a long way from the promised land. And only continued focus will get them there. (more…)

What might have been. For 58 minutes and change the Gators had #1 on the ropes, but that defense snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And what would have happened had the Bucs actually got on the plane to Indianapolis? Maybe they would have made a game of it.
