-Hope sucks.  Especially as a college football fan.  I had hope this past weekend when Clemson's star QB was finally set to play after sitting out a few games with a broken finger.  That hope was looking good when he marched down field in his 2nd and 3rd drives of the game.  But then my hope was shattered when he tore his ACL after rushing for a first down inside Georgia Tech's 15 yard line.  What little hope I had left was then destroyed when the backup QB immediately threw a pick-six three plays later, followed by another pick-six later in the game, and another interception that set up an easy 5-yard TD.  Like I said, hope sucks.

-Holy crap, there are a lot of crappy games this week.  And naturally, it's all the SEC's fault!  A few years ago, SEC teams started scheduling a cupcake game before playing their end-of-the-year rival, and that trend caught like wildfire, so now everyone is doing it.  So, you can thank the SEC for making this weekend's college football matchups so boring.

-Did you know that reggae legend Bob Marley had a son that played LB at Miami?  And that his grandson currently plays at Tulane?  Crazy, right?

SEC West v. SEC Least Update!!!

It's official, the SEC East went 2-0 against the SEC West this week and I guess that means I can no longer make fun of that division on a weekly basis.  It was fun while it lasted.

-Well, another losing week for me.  At this point, I feel like teams are reading this post and using it as fodder to get themselves pumped up.  Seriously, why else would I be losing so much?  Oh yeah, it just might, possibly, somewhat, kind of be because I suck at this, but that doesn't seem correct, so I'm going with that first explanation.  Anyways, I guarantee a winning week or you can call your bookie and have him give you your money back.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"There was another one that said 'Jamies Winston's Lawyer for Heisman' that I thought was funny, but this one is just classic."

-Alright, enjoy the thirteenth week of college football.
