-What is College GameDay going to do when Lee Corso leaves?  If you haven't noticed, Lee hasn't been as sharp as he used to be and that is because he suffered a stroke in 2009.  He is currently signed on to do the show through next season and then plans to retire, so my question is - what is GameDay going to do when he leaves?  His headgear predictions are a priceless staple of the show and is something you can't exactly replicate.  So, when he leaves, who is going to replace him at the desk on Saturdays?  Are they going to move Desmond Howard over to his spot?  Or are they going to promote David Pollack to the job?  In all honesty, I don't think it matters what they do because Corso is impossible to replace and he will be missed.  As long as they don't give the spot to Lou Holtz, I don't care what they do.  Lou is impossible to understand and we really don't need three hours of his lisp.

-I love college football and after a big win by my Clemson Tigers, I love waking up the next morning to watch highlights of that big win.  However, since ESPN is the king of sports and is obsessed with the NFL, college highlights are pushed to the side on Sunday mornings for hours and hours of NFL pre-game coverage.  Seriously, ESPN's lack of college football recap on Sundays is annoying.  Sure, I could change the channel to ESPNU, but does anybody even get that channel?  For some reason, I get it but it doesn't work on my cable box.  Plus, how many hours of NFL pre-game do we really need?  The answer is not as many hours as ESPN commits each Sunday morning.  Those jerks.

-A nice 5-1 week and my only loss was in a game I had no business picking because I don't care about the Big 10 (who will soon have 14 teams).  Well, I'm so happy with last week that I will just skip to the part where I say, I guarantee a winning week or your money back.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay


(Yup, it just says "Sports".  I saw another one that said "Sotally Tober, Mom" that made me laugh but I couldn't find a picture of it.)

-Alright, enjoy the thirteenth week of college football.

Last Week's Results: 5-1
Season Results: 31-36-3
