Well, it appears that all we needed to crack into the top 10 of the BCS was a week without Stiney. Bye weeks can be great, can't they? You can't lose, you can't look stupid... all you do is sit there and look pretty. Bye weeks can make you forget, just for a moment, that you're the lab partner. But hey, I'm not complaining. Top 10 rocks. Top 10 is awesome! And, we're also #10 in the AP. I guess that means that we are #10 in SOME polls, right? And, although it means nothing, USA today has us at #9. Why is this so great? Because we are IN FRONT of our arch nemesis, Clemson. They hold the #9 spot in SOME polls, you know, just the AP and BCS. But hey, in SOME polls, we are #9. This is the first time we've been in the top 10 in the BCS since 2007.
I still don't want to talk about Clemson. I'd rather go sit in a dark corner, rock back and forth, and hum Enter Sandman.
And, I'm not prepared to talk about GAH-Tech, either. That makes me think about going into another dark corner.
Let's just talk about some fun things. We had to endure a whole week without the Hokies on the field, so what else went on in the world of NCAA football? Well, not much. Iowa beat #15 Michigan. UCLA beat #19 Arizona State. And, Louisville (yes, apparently they do have a football team) beat #24 WVU. Poor little couch burners. They just couldn't handle the pressure of the top 25. The biggest loss of the week, though, came with #10 Nebraska losing to Northwestern. This really freed up the #10 spot for us. Thank you, Nebraska! I personally hate Nebraska. Their fans are like the Miami fans of the mid-west. This fact makes their loss that much more fun.
Did you see all the craziness about Penn State? Some people are calling for Rip Van Winkle himself to leave! The athletic director went on administrative leave. This is insanity. I don't want to know what was going on in the locker room, but the school did nothing about it? Seems odd that the police weren't notified. I don't know. I'm sure more details will emerge soon.
Oh... I guess that's about it. I just wanted to make sure you all were still alive out there. It's fine to get a little R&R on the bye week, but the game is THIS THURSDAY. We are merely hours away from perhaps the most important game of the season! Can you feel the excitement? Have you already called in sick to work for Friday? I'm ready. The tattoo is ready. Danny Coale is ready. Even evil Jim Weaver can't ruin a Thursday night game.
Check your pulse. Set your timer. A new post will be ready Wednesday for your viewing pleasure.
Love the number 10,
The B.S.C.
