Why not? Let's take a look at some NCAA highlights for the upcoming week. I'm just sitting here eating leftover stir-fry, you're sitting here reading this, admit it: we've both got nothing better to do.

The early-week games look pretty one-sided. #10 Louisville's gonna piss all over Middle Tennessee State on Thursday and #16 Rutgers shouldn't (sadly) have too much trouble handling Navy on Friday. Thursday does give us Oregon State @ Cincinnati, though. Last year, both teams were fairly entertaining to watch as early-week contenders, so there's that. Of course, here's to hoping for a MTS rout of Louisville. Every week should have an Appalaichan State @ Michigan game.

Obviously the real meat-and-taters is Saturday. I'll have to set my alarm clock to make sure I'm awake by 11 AM for the first game of the day. Honestly, who scheduled these games this year, the schools or the TV networks? Can we perhaps return to sanity next year? Miami has their second noon kickoff at #8 Oklahoma. Of course I pick the 'Canes because of blind homerism.

Personally I don't give a shit about any other games until 5PM, when UAB will (hopefully) begin to kick the shit out of the 'Noles. At 6, the Gators take on Troy, which will be broadcast nationally exactly nowhere. However, Notre Dame visits #17 Penn State where they will (hopefully) lose again so that my two most-hated NCAA teams are 0-2 to start. Then at 7, #22 TCU visits #4 Texas. The only reason I give a shit is some arrogant TCU cocksucker telling everyone that they'd be #1 by the end of the season and we'd all be legally bound to worship at the shrine of some dumbass nobody's ever heard of who is also TCU's starting whatever. I really want Texas to royally fuck TCU up for that, and then on the last play, for TCU to somehow injure every starting Longhorn so they're nice and soft for UCF on the 15th.

Anyway, the big game is at 9:15: #9 VA Tech @ #2 LSU. Should be a fucking awesome game.
