High & Low Lights from the ’07 Bowl Season that was……..


Trojan Power: John David Booty (JDB as I like to call him) made the Illinois D look like Swiss Cheese as he and the USC Offense played pitch and catch all day. The totals for USC are pretty staggering as the raked up 633 total yards of the Big O. Again, we end another year with the question..Is USC the best team in the country?

Kegs a flowing: Cheers to New Mexico State U as they ended a 46 year bowl drought by beating Nevada in a shutout. Nevada was last shut out almost 30 years ago.

Go Home: Bowling Green U which lost in the GMAC Bowl followed a horrible trend by MAC teams as the three teams that were represented each lost by 51, 52, and 63 points and finished 0-3. Better luck next year.
Looking forward to the 2008 Season..It’s just never too early.

USC looks again to keep on track as Mark Sanchez will take over for the departing JDB @ QB….The Georgia Bulldogs finished the season as strong as any one is the land and looked impressive in doing so as they beat up on QB Colt Brennen and the Warriors. They might be ranked as high as #2 in the Pre Season polls…LSU will lose Mr. Dorsey to the draft but have ample amount of talent returning coupled with Ryan Perrilloux getting the nod and running the Offense for the next three years. Should be exciting times in Baton Rouge……Gator fans have Superman Tim Tebow returning but they need answers fast for a very suspect Defense that looked terriable down the stretch. OSU, WVU, Clemson, KU, Mizzu, Illinois and Oklahoma all return quality players and will not loose a ton of talent to graduation or the NFL..

The Appalachian Effect in N.C.A.A. Football

Remember when the Michigan Wolverines kicked off their football season last year with a loss to Appalachian State University ? Some people called it the biggest upset in college football history . Well, as Mike Huguenin notes at Rivals.com , it looks like the big-time schools are being a lot more careful this year in picking their supposedly patsy opponents. Appalachian, meanwhile, is hoping to start the ‘08 season even more outrageously than last year: against the defending national champs L.S.U . It should not be forgotten that Appalachian has won the past three national championships at its level.
