December got off to a nice start yesterday, with ASU finally winning a close game, this time over the dregs of society, everything that is wrong with America, the University of Arizona. Nevermind that it was an entirely dreadful game to watch, especially the first half, we'll take it. Now, T-State fans can start their familiar refrain, 'wait til basketball season,' which totally ignores, of course, the fact that ASU has owned them in hoops over the last three years.
Today's list, Top Five Worst Things NFL Announcers Say:
1.) "It's going to depend on the spot." Of course it is.
2.) "He's a great athlete." Most guys who play sports professionally tend to be like that.
3.) "He loves the game." Might be my favorite one. 'My dream was to become a concert pianist; that's actually my passion. But I always had this quarterback thing to fall back on.' They all do!
4.) "These teams really don't like each other." This might be stunning, but even non rivals tend not to care for one another. 'Well, I play for the Jets, but I'm actually a pretty big Vikings fan. I really hope they do well this year.'
5.) "He's a throwback." That's not a compliment. It means he's a slow, undersized white guy who couldn't play for half the high school teams in Southern California.
SUPER PLAY OF THE DAY
The Oklahoma Sooners have been on a roll of late, covering easily in their last three games, two of which came on the road. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez will start, but he won't be his regular, elusive self. Also, the Big 12 has no interest in seeing the Huskers win the conference before bolting to the Big 10 next season, so don't expect them to get any breaks from the officials. Oklahoma -4
OTHER PLAYS
Va Tech -3.5
Middle Tenn St +5
