Hi there NCAA College Fans.... [Oct. 27th, 2009|12:12 pm]

yourcollegeteam

Ok, first off, I have to say, I really have NO IDEA what I am doing with this. Hopefully I can actually post and not screw this up. ;)

Hi readers, My name is Cheri Rocha and I have recently opened an online business at www.yourcollegeteamstore.com. I am specializing in NCAA College teams in the C-USA, MAC, WAC, Mountain West, and SunBelt Divisions.

My husband was actually the inspiration for this store. He is an alumni of a C-USA school and was just tired of not being able to find merchandise for his school. You could always find stuff for the "Big Schools", or what would be considered the "popular" ones. So we started doing research and found that there are manufacturers that do make this stuff, but not many who will carry or sell it. So that is where Your College Team Store originated.

We are the typical family of 4, with 2 dogs, and a cat. Both our children are school aged and they really do eat up alot of our free time with all their sports and school activites, but we wanted to find something that we could do to help other "Division 1 School Alumni" or (current students) find the items that they want, without having to search and search for someone who makes or sells it.

As I said before, we just JUST OPENED...but, I am adding new items to every school in the C-USA, MAC, WAC, Mountain West, and SunBelt Divisions as I am able to find them. I will try and add new items as often and possible, and post on here what is new, and any promtions that we have that day/week.

I thank you in advance for taking a moment and clicking on our store link above... Please pass it along to your friends and family. The more people I can direct to the site, the higher I can get on those darn search engines... If you find something you like, and maybe it's not in your school, just let me know.. I will do what I can to find it for you.

Everyone have a safe and Happy Halloween this weekend.

SportsLife 2009 College Football Season Preview: The SEC [Aug. 19th, 2009|02:19 pm]

metrogq

The conference that is seemingly the king of the mountain in NCAA football, the Southeastern Conference, has yet again produced the National Champion, for the third time in three years, and once again, it’s the Tim Tebow & Urban Meyer-led Florida Gators. It truly must be great to be a Florida Gator, but will it be again this year? Do the Crimson Tide of Alabama have the bodies to make up for their losses in players moving on to the NFL? Can the LSU Tigers once again let the nation hear the roar of the Bayou Bengals? Are the Bulldogs of UGA ready to finally be the National Title threat they have been billed as? Who are the dark horses? With no further ado, we begin our 2009 College Football Preview with the SEC. READ MORE HERE.

National Championship Talk [Sep. 28th, 2008|12:43 am]

ninjamonkeyspy
[Tags|, ]

With all the top 5 losses lately, I have no idea who to expect to see in the championship game in January. But if we assume someone can make it out of their conference alive, this is who I think has the best chance to get there.

Disclaimer: These are ranked according to who has the best chance to get to the national championship, so future matchups are considered. Of course, any loss knocks them down.

1. (Big 12) Missouri or Oklahoma, pending their matchup in the Big 12 Championship.

2. (SEC) LSU or Alabama, pending their matchup in November.

3. (Big 10) Penn State, pending three straight games against Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio State in October.

4. (PAC 10) Southern Cal, because they probably won't lose again, but it's a long way to the top if they want to rock and roll.

5. (Mountain West?!) BYU, even if undefeated, will likely still be stuck behind 1-loss teams

6. (Big East) South Florida only beat Florida International by 8 points, so I doubt they'll go undefeated. And even if Connecticut wins the conference and finishes 12-0, they're currently unranked, so they won't get anywhere close to the national championship game.

. . .

Sorry, ACC fans, no shot. On the bright side, Virginia Tech didn't lose to Nebraska. If they had, the conference would have had no top-25 teams next week for the first time in... uh... decades? I almost wish Nebraska had won just so I'd know how long it's been.

Top 10 Positive Takeaways from Tennessee’s 30 – 6 Loss to FL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With apologies to David Letterman...


10. Welcome aboard Stan Drayton! The kickoff and punt return teams seem to be legitimately improved over a year ago.

9. The defense had a 33 point improvement on points allowed vs. last year!

8. For the second consecutive week there were zero camera shots of Dave Clawson looking like a deer caught in the headlights... with food poisoning.

7. Umm… we’re right where we were this time last season, right?

6. Progress: Luke Stocker did not drop a single perfectly thrown, uncontested, wide-open pass this week.

5. Progress II: Arian Foster had nothing to do with either of the devastating, momentum-shifting, game changing, soul-crushing fumbles this week. Thanks Montario! Thanks Jon!

4. Concerned about the impact the cost of fuel and the rapidly-expanding Financial Market crisis may be having on Vol fans, Fulmer has apparently decided to spare everyone the travel expenses associated with going to a bowl game.

4a. After watching Tennessee ’s offense vs. a quality SEC opponent, suddenly the Financial Market crisis and potential collapse of the entire global economy seems comparatively benign.

3. The blue-chip recruits on campus for official visits this weekend were impressed with the coaching staff, direction of the program, and all the new facilities. Of course these were all Basketball recruits, but they were impressed none the less.

2. Basketball season is less than 2 months away.

1. Projected popcorn sales for the coming weeks have caught Mike Hamilton’s attention. We all know what happens when Mike’s not happy with popcorn sales…

Thunder and lightning = 7 yards each! (the best duo in the nation no doubt)
Clemson Rush Yards= 8 yards
Clemson = # 9 in the nation
Clemson = gonna win the ACC

If that's the best the ACC has to offer I don't figure anyone has anything to worry about!

ROLL TIDE!!!

Capital One Bowl: Michigan vs Florida
Insight Bowl: Indiana vs Oklahoma State

Big 12 (8)
BCS Orange Bowl: Kansas vs Virginia Tech
BCS Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs West Virginia

Papajohns.com Bowl: Cincinatti vs Southern Miss

Pac 10 (6)
BCS Rose Bowl: Southern Cal vs Illinois
Armed Forces Bowl: California vs Air Force
Sun Bowl: Oregon State vs South Florida
Emerald Bowl: Oregon State vs Maryland
Holiday Bowl: Arizona State vs Texas
Las Vegas Bowl: UCLA vs BYU

SEC (9)
BCS Championship: LSU vs Ohio State
BCS Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs Hawaii
Outback Bowl: Tennessee vs Wisconsin
Cotton Bowl: Arkansas vs Missouri
Capital One Bowl: Florida vs Michigan
Music City Bowl: Kentucky vs Florida State
Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Auburn vs Clemson
Independence Bowl: Alabama vs Colorado
Liberty Bowl: Mississippi State vs Central Florida

C-USA (6)
GMAC Bowl: Tulsa vs Bowling Green
Liberty Bowl: Central Florida vs Mississippi State
Texas Bowl: Houston vs TCU
Hawaii Bowl: East Carolina vs Boise State
Papajohns.com Bowl: Southern Miss vs Cincinatti
New Orleans Bowl: Memphis vs Florida Atlantic

Mid-American (3)
GMAC Bowl: Bowling Green vs Tulsa
International Bowl: Ball State vs Rutgers
Motor City Bowl: Central Michigan vs Purdue

Mountain West (5)
Armed Forces Bowl: Air Force vs California
Texas Bowl: TCU vs Houston
New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico vs Nevada
Las Vegas Bowl: BYU vs UCLA
Poinsettia Bowl: Utah vs Navy

Sun Belt (1)
New Orleans Bowl: Florida Atlantic vs Memphis

WAC (4)
BCS Sugar Bowl: Hawaii vs Georgia
Humanitarian Bowl: Fresno State vs Georgia Tech
Hawaii Bowl: Boise State vs East Carolina
New Mexico Bowl: Nevada vs New Mexico

Independent (1)
Poinsettia: Navy vs Utah

Eligible teams not selected (8)
Iowa (6-6)
Louisiana Monroe (6-6)
Louisville (6-6)
Miami, Ohio (6-7)
Northwestern (6-6)
Ohio (6-6)
South Carolina (6-6)
Troy (8-4)

Gotta feel bad for Troy, the team with the best record coming out of the Sun Belt. They lost to three RANKED teams, and beat Oklahoma State, but the loss to Florida Atlantic cost them the conference championship, and that was that.

Also, poor South Carolina. Five straight losses to finish the season. It can't end much worse than that for a team that was bowl eligible and national championship contender in mid-October!

BCS Scenarios Update [Nov. 26th, 2007|03:10 am]

ninjamonkeyspy
[Tags|]

There are four possible national championship scenarios. What would the BCS matchups be for each of these scenarios? Wonder if your team has a chance? Well, this is it. Read on...

Regardless of what happens, three assignments are locked: the PAC 10 champion is going to the Rose Bowl, the ACC champion is going to the Orange Bowl, and the SEC champion is going to the Sugar Bowl. Hawaii's assignment to the Sugar Bowl is only a lock if they beat Washington this week.

Also keep the order of the at-large picks in mind: ROSE first if it needs to replace Ohio State, FIESTA next if it needs to replace Missouri. Otherwise, the order is ORANGE, FIESTA, SUGAR ... which is why Hawaii gets the Sugar Bowl.

Scenario A: #1 Missouri vs #2 West Virginia
Ohio State to ROSE. FIESTA takes Kansas, ORANGE takes Georgia, FIESTA takes Arizona State.

Scenario B: #1 Missouri vs #2 Ohio State
(i) FIESTA takes Kansas, ROSE takes Illinois, ORANGE takes Georgia, FIESTA takes West Virginia.
(ii) FIESTA takes Kansas, ROSE takes Georgia, ORANGE takes West Virginia, FIESTA takes Arizona State.

Scenario C: #1 West Virginia vs #2 Ohio State
(i) Oklahoma to FIESTA, ROSE takes Illinois, ORANGE takes Georgia, FIESTA takes Arizona State.
(ii) Oklahoma to FIESTA, ROSE takes Georgia, ORANGE takes Kansas, FIESTA takes Arizona State.

Scenario D: #1 Ohio State vs #2 Georgia
(i) Oklahoma to FIESTA, ROSE takes Illinois, ORANGE takes Kansas, FIESTA takes West Virginia.
(ii) Oklahoma to FIESTA, ROSE takes Kansas, ORANGE takes West Virginia, FIESTA takes Arizona State.

What happens if Arizona State and/or Hawaii is unavailable? )

Got it?

..And the sad thing is....My team was much, much more pathetic than their opponent!

Congrats to Auburn for playing in the clutch and winning.

It would have been a very embarrasing lost!

I guess I can settle for YET another disappointing season!

Maybe next year, right?

Georgia vs Georgia Tech [Nov. 24th, 2007|04:12 pm]

ninjamonkeyspy
[Tags|, ]

I'm no expert on NCAA rules, but shouldn't Georgia Tech have caught Georgia on a safety earlier in the first quarter? Mike Henderson bobbled a punt on the 4-yard line and kicked it into the endzone. It was a live ball and after several Tech players dove for the potential touchdown, Henderson came up with the ball for a touchback. But, um, he bobbled the ball into the endzone. How is that not a safety?

And on the play just before Georgia's field goal, as Stafford was about to take a 10-yard sack, and he threw the ball into the ground about three yards short of the line of scrimmage. That should have made for a 55 or 60-yard field goal attempt, instead of the 45-yarder that put UGA up 3-0.

Georgia Tech should have held a 2-0 lead at that point.

(For the record, I'm hoping Georgia can sneak a way into the national championship game... but I want them to earn it. This first quarter isn't what I had in mind.)

. . .

p.s. Wes Durham (GT and Falcons) is a much better announcer than Larry Munson (UGA).

Poor Nebraska [Nov. 23rd, 2007|04:02 pm]

You have gotta be kidding me. This is the second time this season that Nebraska has been on the losing end of a game in which the teams combined to score 115 (or, today, 116) points.

So where is Callahan coaching next? Or should the question be... when?
