About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

Walker's Rants Bring on the Arctic Winds

We saw our first flurries of year here earlier today in our Nations Capital. Guess that means winter is right around the corner, and it also means I need to get myself out to a Capitals game soon. However, before I go running off to rock the red, I still have enough time to fire up another edition of Walker’s Rants.

It’s pretty sad that McNabb did not realize that an NFL game could end in a tie. He has only been in the league for 10 years…

I bet if you gave truth serum to everyone in the NFL, half of the people would not know that a game could end in a tie…

Why the hell did UNC schedule a home football game against Maryland (a must win) and the home opening for the basketball season within one hour of each other?

Marion Barber III is a straight beast…

I don’t like him, but what Jimmy Johnson accomplished on Sunday was pretty damn impressive…

Rich Rodriguez was right. Michigan fans do need a life. However, perhaps, just maybe he should spend more time hitting the recruiting trail than worrying about the chatter on the message boards…

It’s going to be great to watch Oregon State go to the Rose Bowl. Shame USC will still likely slip into a BCS game…

I love fall test rugby…

The Detroit Lions will be the turn around story of the year next season…

Fire Al Groh…

Sam Bradford will win a Heisman and a national title with his performance on Saturday…

Trash talking in football is good, just be able to back it up if not, you deserve to get your ass kicked…

Brock has what it takes, and he will sit atop the MMA world for a while to come…

The Houston Rockets went out and signed players to sure up their lineup, but in the end it is they are the same ole Rockets. Too injury prone to ever go anywhere…

Tommy Tuberville will be coaching in Clemson next season…

Boise State is going to get screwed this year…

Adam Jones completed his treatment now let the man play…

How do you make the BCS worst than it already is? Let ESPN get the rights to broadcast the games beginning in 2011…

Hmmm:

Big 10: Penn State...maybe Ohio State (as well) if things shake out

Big XII: Texas Tech/Oklahoma/Texas (2 of 3)

Big East: Cincinnati or Pittsburgh

ACC: Clusterfuck - 1 team (BC, Miami, FSU, Maryland, UNC??)

SEC: Alabama/Florida (If Florida beats 'Bama, they'll both be BCS teams...I'm not so sure if Bama beats Florida)

Pac 10: Oregon State/USC


Plus BCS busters Utah and Boise State (maybe 1 of them?)

Assuming your title game ends up being Big XII team Versus SEC Team (My guess, Florida versus TT), then you'll end up with 'Bama and Texas getting in as well...

That leaves the other 4 conferences with 4 spots remaining

I don't see how USC gets in...maybe if 'Bama beats Florida and keeps them out of the BCS entirely...

I really don't expect Detroit to turn it around next season. Too many gaps to fill.

They're off to a good start though, now that they are Millen-less. As a Ford property, maybe they should ask for a piece of that bailout...

I am amazed about the overtime thing, but now that other players are saying similar things, I'm starting to think it's just not that big a deal. I guess if it happens every 6 years, who cares? It's a bit more surprising to me that Hines Ward didn't know, considering he played in the last tie game.


And the Steelers play the Bengals tonight. Wouldn't it be great if they're tied at the end of regulation? :-)
