More college football warnings!

Team that must be careful

For many weeks I have tried to warn teams of college football, to warn them of the dangers of the games they face. With now just a couple of weeks left in the regular season, there is so much on the line for so many teams…

Will they hear my cries of warning?

Will Rutgers and South Florida hear me? Or will they continue to believe that last year is THIS year, when there was so much success? Time has not been kind to either of these two teams. Neither of these two teams are the talk of the conference, and to be honest, the Big East has not had much to talk about. But there is still pride on the line, and a chance for a bowl still out there. And there is still an outside chance for Rutgers to still steal the Big East Title, but lots of things have to happen. And what of the great South Florida? Has all the fame and glory gone out the window, like their rankings. I warn both of you teams, your post season is on the line, even if South Florida is 6-3. Lose this game, and we will forget about last year’s success.

There must also be a warning to Michigan, although it won’t mean much. This year marks a dark day, one that will not see you participate in the post season. A 3-7 team is an absolute embarrassment to the Big 10 and your university. But we wonder, have the Wolverines packed it in for the year, or will they fight until the bitter end. Your fans better see the best you got against Northwestern, or else this loss will be most bitter. You were warned.

Who then shall warn Duke and Clemson, in a game that could very well determine if one or the other may see post season play? Do not brag too loud about the fact that the ACC still has a slim chance to put EVERY team in post season, and currently has 8 teams bowl eligible…for you two are NOT amongst them. Duke has lost 4 of the last 5, and their record is exactly that…4-5. Your margin for error is slim, fail this game, and you may very well fail the season. And what of the great Clemson team we were led to believe would dominate the ACC. Yet now, you, like Duke are 4-5 and dangerously close to being knocked out of post season. I warn BOTH of you, a loss here makes it hard for either of you to make a bowl, but there are reportedly NINE bowl games with an ACC name on it…Eight now are qualified. Will you be the ninth?

And who deserves greater warnings than Notre Dame, who must travel to Navy this weekend? What is this rumor I have heard of the rich alumni getting upset at their head coach, whom they just given a 10 YEAR extension? How hypocritical of your “educated” alumni, in kicking out a good coach, hiring his replacement and rewarding him for mediocrity. Now just after giving this coach millions of dollars for an average performance, they are getting upset. Many say that your failures are deserved, but now the team must perform on a much higher level…they must beat Navy.

How then will you meet the challenge, Notre Dame? Your wins were all at home, with the exception of beating lowly Washington away. And every team on your schedule that is at least average has beaten you…Navy seems to be BETTER than average. Your coach has a warning on him, to beat Navy or heads may roll…how then will the great Notre Dame face this challenge. I warn you, your names will go down in history should you lose…you were warned…

Does Florida need to be warned of the coming of their former great head coach as South Carolina visits them? Is it necessary to warn the Gators of the importance of this game, not just because of who coaches against them, but also the fight for the National Title just might land right in their laps.

A National Title seems within reach of Florida, if they can just win the SEC Championship…but is it possible that MAYBE they will look past South Carolina, who are currently ranked at #25? South Carolina needs this win to validate their standings, and create havoc in the BCS, but will anyone give them a shot of knocking off Florida? We DO know that they can be beaten, and by an unranked foe at that…I warn you Florida, look past this game, and it will cost you a shot at the National Title.

And finally, another warning to the ACC, specifically Florida State? What is this I hear of you and all your receivers getting in a fight? What is it, some gang or something? Who is Florida State that these player act as great as a warrior, but struggle to win their own division? Shame on you for acting like petty thugs in a school of higher learning, and I warn you greatly, you may have but great risk on your team this weekend. Boston College comes to see you, and although both of you are bowl eligible, there is still an issue. The Atlantic Division is not sown up by you, with a game with Maryland still in the future. Lose this game to Boston College and you will show us just how undisciplined you are. I warn you Florida State, prove your power and defeat Boston College or we may turn our backs on you and your up-and-down season. And to think…you still must play Florida….

You teams have been warned! Now, let’s watch some FOOTBALL!
