More on UConn Football

We all know that UConn sucks and their inclusion in the BCS may be warranted within the system's structure, but in reality is horrible for everyone who is not part of the UConn athletic department. That's not where the turrible-ness ends, however.

First off, no BCS participant should be starting a quarterback who was once out-passed by this guy in a high school football game. Yep, little old me threw for more yards than Frazer on a fateful September night in 2004, when Warwick took on Mechanicsburg. I'm just waiting for Bob Stoops to give me a call to see if I still have some magic left in this right arm of mine. Who's more successful now, you ask? I say that's erroneous. Regardless, the aforementioned fact is sad for the Huskies, worse for the BCS, and downright crazy knucklehead turrible.

Also, this wee a freshman offensive lineman for the Huskies was picked up on child pornography charges. Yes, you just read that. I know he's an offensive lineman and a little overweight, but shouldn't a member of a BCS football team be able to score some real women of legal age instead of resorting to kiddie images on his computer. This is quite possibly the most turrible college football-related news I have ever heard. My hunch is that his experience in prison might be nearly as painful as the Huskies Fiesta Bowl tussle with Oklahoma.

Auburn Rewind: Charles Barkley Speaking Out

Two years ago when Auburn hired Gene Chizik, many were upset, including the father of our site's name, Charles Barkley. Here is a clip of Chuck sounding off on ESPN's Pardon the Interuption (segment begins around the 35 second mark):

Now that Chizik and Auburn are in the BCS Championship Game, and Turner Gill has since gone 8-16 since not getting hired there, I feel very comfortable telling Sir Charles that his comments were crazy knucklehead turrible -- in retrospect, he was really CooCoo for Cocoa Puffs in evaluating Chizik's coaching abilities

Josh Cribbs Is NOT a Worthy Posterboy

Have you seen the above commercial on TV? The fine people at Fathead decided that it would be beneficial to use Cleveland Browns' kick/punt return specialist Josh Cribbs as their promoter du jour. Sure, Cribbs made the Pro Bowl last year, but he is an awful choice as a product spokesman. Somehow, his three returns for TD's last year, coupled with his sweet dreadlocks, do not make me want to grab my computer and by a giant $100 sticker to put on my wall.

I'm going to throw a name out there that some of you may remember: Dante Hall. Ring any bells? If it does, you probably remember him for a three season run in the early 2000's, that saw his name etched in the NFL Record books for setting numerous kick/punt returns returns. What you may not recall is him being dubbed as the "X-Factor", which eventually spawned Gatorade's launch of its' X-Factor line of the popular sports drink, in which they used Hall as their posterboy. Shortly thereafter, Hall's career fizzled, as did the X-Factor drink.

Fatheads are a sweet concept, although my wife won't allow me to have one, so I don't think their partnership with a special teams star, in Cribbs, will completely crash their product. However, I think the folks in Fathead's advertising department should hire a bigger name to promote their fine product because using someone like Cribbs is flat out crazy knucklehead turrible. Next time you put up some dollars to hire a sports figure to promote your product, make sure that you actually choose someone that people know/care about.
