UPDATE 9:56 pm. Chelsea lost again, 3-1. They have eight points from eight matches and sit 16th in the table. That is shocking. Jose Mourinho said post-match that if Chelsea fire him they will fire the best manager Chelsea has ever had, which is true, but let us ask ourselves W.W.J.D, what would Jose do if he owned and someone else managed? Are you kidding! Mourinho fired the team doctor for rushing onto the pitch to attend to an injured Chelsea player, which meant the player had to come out of the match. Dr. Mourinho fired Dr. Carneiro! Mourinho has blamed everyone including the team doctor for Chelsea's struggles. Today, as it has been also this season, it was the referee. He blames everyone but himself. No idea what ails Chelsea (and with the team doc canned we may never find out) but it is not Eva Carneiro and the zebras. So there is no plausible reason provided by the man in charge for this calamitous start. That's not good for Mourinho!
You can make up ground so quickly in the EPL with three points for the win, it's not like college football where you get one "point" for a win and the season is twelve games long. The cognescenti declared the EPL title race over earlier in the season, gave it to Man City! The bird hits the air pump a couple of matches and clubs will catch up and pass you. Chelsea have played eight matches, eight out of thirty-eight, they are in 16th place but only ten points out of first place. If City lose three of its remaining thirty-eight when Chelsea win and tie another that Chelsea wins, Chelsea win the league. So yes, too, too early for Roman Abramovich to sack Mourinho but I'll tell you what, if this was City, I would want Manuel Pellegrini gone NOW and Abramovich ain't known for his patience. Fired Jose once before. The most damning aspect of this for Mourinho is that he is giving Abramovich no way forward and no plausible reasons for what has occurred thus far. What is Abramovich supposed to do?
West Virginia got creamed.
Texas...50-7 they lost. Charlie Strong is gone, maybe not now but before next season.
Iowa won.
Texas Tech is getting creamed.
Oh. Georgia. My God, Alabama leads 31-3 and that's at Georgia. Mark Richt, don't think Mark Richt will be fired but this is really bad for him...Make that 38-3. Oh my gosh.
Iowa State won.
Pennsylvania Showers held off the entire United States Army.
Nebraska is winning.
Pittsburgh won. The three major football schools in Pa., Temple is the third and they beat Penn State, have a combined won-lost record of 11-2. :o
UPDATE, 4:26 pm God, thanks.
UPDATE: 4;23 pm. Kun Aguero has scored FIVE goals, City lead Newcastle 6-1 after being tied 1-1 at the half. We're in the 66'. Kun's five goals scored in 20 minutes of playing time.
Well, it's Saturday. Happy/Sad day. Normal people sports are played today. God's Righteous Angels play at home to Nuevo Castillo. Vinny Kompany is still on the mend, won't play. Swine Chelsea, 15th in the table, play home to Southampton, to whom they are looking up. It's all because Mourinho got rid of Dr. Carneiro. Swine Mou.
In tackle, West Virginia plays at Oklahoma. Let's go Mountaineers! Did I ever tell you I went to Oklahoma to see a football game? Well, I did. My team was behind 31-0 at the half.
Texas plays at Texas Christian. The Horny Toads are 15 point favs. These schools have flipped in recent years. Texas used to be top dog and TCU afterthought. Now TCU is 4th best in the country and Texas is 4th best in Texas. I'm pulling for Texas and Charlie Strong in this one. Hook 'em Horns.
Iowa, 4-0 but unranked, plays at #19 Wisconsin. Wisconsin's coach is new; Iowa's long-time coach has taken a ton of doo-doo in recent years. Go Hawks.
Texas Tech
plays at Baylor. That is the coolest mascot. Baylor's mascot is a Rapist. I like the lady on the horse better.
Alabama at Georgia. Georgia's coach, see Iowa's coach. Go Silver Britches.
Old Mississippi at "We are the boys of old Flor-i-da, F-L-O-R-I-D-A, that is the only word we learned to spell, in col-lege at Flor-i-da!" Go Confederate Flags.
Mississippi State at Texas A&M. A maroon study. Both historically underdog programs, too. I want A&M to win to (continue to) stick it to the University of Texas but I want Texas to win today. Tough one. I'll go with the Agathas.
Hairy Boner State at UCLA. Can't stand Boner State's coach; real devil. Go Powder Blue.
Hairy Boner at Stanford. Like Hairy Boner's coach. Dislike the Elitist Trees. Go Hairy Boner.
Notre Dame at Clemson. Catholics vs Inbreds. The Potato Eaters are overrated, injured. I think Clemson's gonna win the football game. I don't really care.
Kansas at Iowa State. Two forlorn programs, one with a first-year coach, the other with an embattled coach. Go Embattleds.
Rutgers doesn't play this week, they have jail arraignments. Army goes to Penn State. I wish the entire Army would go to Penn State and wipe it off the map but they're only bringing their football team. Army's football team can't invade and obliterate anybody.
Nebraska plays at Illinoise. Illinoise's coach was suspended or fired or something, they play in the same league with Rutgers and the Showers so that's par. Nebraska has a new coach and they have fauxpelini. Go Huskers.
Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech. Talk about forlorn programs and underdogs, Pitt is it. If you do a college football heat map of Pennsylvania the entire state is colored Sandusky Blue except for a blob of gold in the southwest corner. They've gone through seventeen coaches in five years, #lolpitt is a hashtag, their best player blew out his knee. Any questions? Go Golden Panthers.
God, see if you can give me a little happiness in these games, okay?
