Ramblings from the Retired One

Special Report

Retired Coach Rick
ACC Correspondent

Here are my latest rants after the weekend action:

* The fans at Notre Dame should have thrown the snowballs at the people who hired SHREK as the head football coach, not the players. Gophers with the title of coach in their previous job should never be hired. Notre Dame's coach never played a down of college football. A person who played at Tinker Toy Tech or Sam Houston Institute of Technology (good ol' SHIT) would do a better job than what is going on at ND today. Maybe Southern Cal will give ND the final reason for letting Shrek quit honorably. The knee injury has hampered his thinking.

* Here is the way the BCS can get the matchup it needs. Florida State upsets Florida. Florida beats Alabama. This way the BCS can have USC, Texas and Oklahoma to choose from. This will stop the SEC dominance for one year.

* How many teams from each conference should receive bowl bids.
  1. ACC (7)
  2. Big East (5)
  3. Big Ten (6)
  4. Pac-10 (5)
  5. Big 12 (7)
  6. SEC (8)
  7. BCS Busters (3)
  8. Other conferences (as few as possible)
* Will Virginia Tech D-Coordinator Bud Foster finally get a job as a head football coach?

* Is Cincinnati's Brian Kelly headed to Tennessee? That would be an interesting mix.

* Who will be the all time winningest college football coach? Who will make the long haul? I am betting on Bobby Bowden. He is six years younger than Grandpa Joe.

* What are the chances Rich-Rod will be able to get out of his Michigan deal so he can go to Clemson? He would fit in better at Clemson. He can get players like Pacman Jones and Chris Henry into Clemson way before he ever will at Michigan.

* West Virginia may be getting the best QB/WR duo East of the Mississippi as their two top recruits this year.

* Iowa put together a nice run at the end of the season.

* I'll let you know my coach of the year and Heisman choice next week.

* Turkey and college football go hand in hand.

How can anyone put Florida as the the #2 team in their rankings? Whom did they beat since Mississippi beat them in the SWAMP? Darryl Royal said one time when asked, "How do you go 10-0, 9-1 every year?" His reply was, " I do the scheduling. I make sure I have a few William & Marys in there and I hope they leave William at home." Florida beat a real power house when they beat The Citadel. A lot of style points but no substance. Don't be shocked if FSU and Alabama don't beat Florida. I hope FSU beats them and then UF beats Alabama. This way we can argue and talk about it for a year about who should have been in the BCS Championship game.
