College Football is HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God the summer is over. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing better than seeing girls n bikinis wearing next to nothing on fort lauderdale/miami beach, but they can wait. FINALLY..............COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The University of Miami destroyed Charleston-Southern 52-7 on Thursday. I do miss the Orange Bowl, but it wasn't worth the hour drive with no parking, so Dolphins Stadium is fine by me. The offense looked solid. Jacory Harris looked like a freshman at time, but looked like a starter at other times. Is Robert Marve still gonna stat next weekend vs. UF? I think so. I didn't watch the game since I don't have ESPN360.com hooked up, but there was no real doubt they were gonna lose. I would like to say they have a fighting chance against UF, but they don't. I just hope they offense progress well and they can stop that Tebow guy.

Next weekend is like a wet dream. First the UM/UF game. then the next day is the start of the NFL season (well, not exactly. WAS/NYG kicks off the season on Thursday). Boy what a difference a few months make. When I saw this game on the schedule, I just said a loss for Miami. Then everything changed last month. Brett Farve is traded to the Jets. They release Chad Pennington, only to have the Dolphins pick him up. I was for him coming here with the QB situation. Now it has worked out. He makes the mediocre Dolphins WRs look decent. He may not throw deep too well, but he is accurate as hell. I am very excited about the Dolphins. I think they can go 6-10. The whole ides of keeping 4 QBs was needed when they traded Josh McCown to the Panthers. Not sure if Beck will stay, but we will see when 6pm comes. That's when they NFL rosters must be cut down to 53.

I am gonna give my "expert" opinion on the 5 most intriguing games for the upcoming weekends on the NFL. I am not always right, so bare with me. I will do my best to point out they best games to watch. Also I will be doing a "who's hot/not" after games so the reader will have knowledge as to who is doing well in the NFL and maybe they can use that for their fantasy teams.

sigh...................I said it yesterday and i will say it again: the Marlins will LOSE 2 of 3 to the Mets. Ever since that 7 game home stand with the Cubs and Cardinals, they have SUCKED. Kevin Gregg is horrible. Their offense is not consistent anymore. Their defense is still one of the worst (ask Hanley Ramirez after losing that first of a 3 game series vs the Braves earlier this week. Well maybe they would have not been in that situation had Gregg pitched well). And last night, I didn't even shake my head. I knew yet another blown save was coming. Carlos Beltran smack a grand slam in the bleachers. To hear those Mets fans was reminiscent of hearing Cubs fans a few weeks ago in a situation where a HR gave them the lead in the 9th. This team will be doing what I will be dong come October: Watching College Football and the NFL and NOT playing in the postseason.
