Too Many Bowls
What? Another bowl game? Jeebus. And they call it the “Super Bowl”? What… oh. Anyway. Who is going to win? The Saints or the Colts. Read on to find out what I think. (more…)
I’m Not Dead… I’m Feeling Better
TALB is not dead or defunct. Just very busy. I’ve been on the go since I stepped foot back in Florida last October. I do have a lot to post, just haven’t had time to put it all together. Keep your eyes peeled.
Dagum
I knew the Bucs would not win many games this year. But I didn’t expect them to be cover-your-eyes terrible. This is Ray Perkins level ineptitude. Tim Tebow returned for the Gators, not that he was really needed. Bobby Bowden’s chance to silence the growing furor over his future was squandered by Mickey Andrews’ defense. (more…)
Bonk!
Tebow, bonked on the head. FSU bonked in the face. Penn State bonked (again) by Iowa. And Bucs fans once again bonked in the groinal region by their beloved team. Will the hurting ever stop? (more…)
Much Ado About Nothing
New name, Thursday Afternoon Linebacker. I’m a late son-of-a-gun this week. Could the Bucs BE any worse? Depending on who you listen to, either the Gators held back because they were afraid of Monte Kiffin, or Lane held back because he wanted to stave off a blow-out by using ball control. Either way, the Florida-Tennessee collision was not a great game. (more…)
Pros and Cons
I was happy to see the NFL come back. Even though the pro game is a lot less exciting than the college version, it does feature the very best football players in the world. And when those guys get going, they are a delight to behold. But not nearly as nice as seeing the Volunteers go down in their first test of the season. And the excitement that a game like Southern Cal versus Ohio State can generate for people all around the country who could normally care less what goes on in Los Angeles or Ohio. That will always be the thing that separates college football from the NFL. The pure excitement of Saturday afternoons. I know so many people who will watch a full Saturday of football, but only their team on Sunday. (more…)
