Monday Morning Game Week Reading


College football is almost here and not a moment too soon. One short week from now, we'll be ranting about how bad the Syracuse football team is, or sitting here in quiet amazement reconsidering our thoughts on the season, either way, at least it will be underway.

So while most New York Giants fans probably want to sweeten their coffee with anti-freeze this morning, let's get to some links.

The Syracuse football depth chart is out and it has more ORs on it than a row boat (I know that was weak, but you think of something funny having to do with or - I dare you). In addition, true freshman are having to wait their turn. Give Robinson credit for loading up on talent at the QB and RB positions - everything else on this team is a crap shoot.

Game times have been announced, and it's great news for those of us that like to tailgate. In addition, since I drive 2 hours to home games, I'm personally pleased that I can get up at a reasonable time, drive to the game and still have time for a beer or 20 before the festivities commence - and since in my world everything is all about me, this is the way it should be.

Dave Rahme outlines questions that need answers this season. Meanwhile, ESPN poses some burning questions about the team as well, but since there are only 3 questions, there can't be too much on fire right now in Syracuse.

The Tuscon Citizen says Pitt is poised to make a big leap.....and Greggo is on the hot seat.

Doc's Sports says Robinson has no chance of saving his job thanks to the schedule, and while we are on the subject, here's another Greg Robinson hot seat story. In a related note, the Jock Rap predicts an October 19th firing for Robinson, which would make this shirt inaccurate.

Is West Virginia's season shaping up to be a perfect storm?

Northwestern is listed as one of the most improved teams in the Big Ten - great.

In basketball news, Coach Boeheim says that by winning the gold medal they restored pride in USA basketball.

In baseball, the Yankees swept the Orioles, but there's a lot of work to do before we can start getting excited.

ESPN and CBS have locked up the best college football conference in the nation for 15 years - so don't go surfing the dial for that SEC network anytime soon.

Umpires and mustaches go together like peanut butter and jelly.

The Philadelphia Eagles special teams actually played well against the Pats Friday night, and this means............well absolutely nothing frankly.

Five rookies who may make an impact this season in the NFL.

Matt Leinart may have lost his job to Kurt Warner, if you ask Kurt, God probably wanted it that way.

And I'll leave you with this - forget MySpace, that's so last year, it's time for HoffSpace.
