Futbol Americana

Rutgers continues it quest for it's first national title since 1869. They are now 2-0, after a goofy yet demoralizing victory over Illinois, winning 33-0. I think at one point, Rutgers had 4 total yards of offense and 14 points, so you can kind of tell what kind of game it was. Just to remind you, Rutgers now has a better record than UT Austin. Speaking of Texas, their coach has some issues with college games being too short now, after recent rule changes. Specifically, he felt a shortened game time is responsible for their loss to Ohio State, and said fans are getting ripped. No they're not, college games are still too long. They stop the clock after every first down, which kills any teams chance of running out the clock. And its such an advantage to larger schools (re: Texas) to have more time, they have the personal to keep on substituting new players in, leaving schools with a smaller number of good players to die in the fourth quarter. I mean seriously, college football has its issues, but shortened game times ain't one of them.

And pro, well, the Patriots had another unconvincing win. Their offense was fine, dillon being more of an asset than I thought he could be, but that defense was looking shaky. Willis Macgahee ran all day on them. So now this weekend we'll get the battle of the unbeaten, for ultimate supremacy in the AFC East, Jets v Pats. By the way, I love the talk about the Jets this last week, a nice yet really sloppy win for them. Fumbles in the end zone, missed field goals and pats, and an opponent that was really falling apart before the game. But I love how no one is expecting anything from the Jets, so any win is met with unabashed praise, like Pettington just finished a performance in a second grade play, and all of us are the parents giving him warm praise and ice cream even though he stood there and cried through most of it.

And finally, this is just a useful site I found to cut down on our pollution and helping the environment, by taking mass transit you consumers. It's called HopStop.com, and gives you a nice little route from address to address using mass transit. You can even minimize walking distance, and pretend you're using a car.
