Schagren Says: The BCS is a Joke

Schagren Says: is a collection of random thoughts and predictions from the most random person in Knoxville, TN.

Hendrick’s goal is to fix Jr.: We all have goals in life. Some are obtainable and some are impossible. I would love a night with Rihanna, but chances are that is not going to happen. I would love to be the third person (true story) in my neighborhood to win the lottery, but the odds are stacked against me.Rick Hendrick also has an impossible goal as he says his top priority is to get Dale Earnhardt Jr. back on track. Hendrick said that he has seen this happen with Jeff Gordon, but Gordon is a little bit better than the most overrated driver in NASCAR history. Keep on dreaming Hendrick.

This is why the BCS stinks: USC lost to Oregon and Stanford by a combined score of 102-41 and lost to a Washington team that is now 3-7. Where should this team be ranked? I am thinking out of the top-25, but the BCS thinks the Trojans are still deserving of a shot at a BCS game. USC, LSU (Even Les Miles is confused by this) and Miami are three of the 20 teams still in the running for an at-large invite to a BCS game. After reading this, I am now cheering for a TCU-Cincinnati BCS Championship game so nobody watches and the BS BCS will finally be forced to change.

Nobody can agree on the Heisman: I talked to one person today that plans on voting for Tim Tebow, one person that plans on voting for Mark Ingram and another person that plans to vote for Case Keenum. This proved to me that there is no runaway winner this season and shows that SEC reporters are still biased towards Tim Tebow. The Florida Gators quarterback had 32 passing touchdowns in 2007, 30 in 2008 and has only 14 passing touchdowns this season. Tebow does have 11 rushing touchdowns, but he only has 1,945 passing yards. If Tebow wins the Heisman this season, he will be one of the least deserving Heisman Trophy winners in college football history.

Even Touchdown Jesus is embarrassed by Notre Dame: How bad are things in South Bend? The Fighting Irish lost to Navy for the second straight season, Charlie Weis is about to be fired and dresses like Bill Belichick and quarterback Jimmy Clausen suffered a black eye after being punched in the face. How do you convince your star quarterback to return for his senior season? You don’t give him a black eye. Great move Notre Dame fans, enjoy Clausen’s last two games in South Bend.

Bad News for NBA teams not named the Lakers: Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is close to joining the Toronto Raptors’ Chris Bosh as the only players to average more than 20 points and 10 rebounds a game. Bynum is averaging 19.9 points and 11.2 rebounds and he might make his first All-Star team. If he is healthy (big if) come playoff time, the Lakers are a guaranteed lock for back-to-back NBA Championships.
