the number 55 was powerful this weekend


The second thing that stood out to me this weekend is the number 55. Two college football teams this weekend introduced themselves to the world with emphatic results that have many of us scratching our heads today. Texas Christian University demolished Utah 55-38 and The Stanford Cardinal scored more points in one game against USC than any team in history. 55-21. I left my house during the USC game and it was a 7 point game with the 4th quarter to play. I came back to find out that Stanford not only won, but they were actually running up the score. I hear that they went for 2 point conversion when the were up 48-21 with 6:47 to go in the game. I remember watching USC play Arkansas in 2004 and won something like 70-17. I said that someday some school is going to make them pay for this beating but at least USC was not trying to score. They had their bench players in the game and they just could not be stopped. I once watched Penn St. beat Cincinnati 81-0. They could have scored 100. But what the hell has happened to USC. They have defeated some really good teams this year and to be smashed twice in the last three weeks is unheard of. They have given up 106 points in their last two losses.Stanford went into the game and said that even though they just beat Oregon, they hadn't accomplished anything until the beat USC. They clearly proved that they are more than for real. They have to play California and Notre Dame who USC defeated quite easily. What are they going to do to them?
TCU is probably the best team in the country that no one cares about. Boise St. and Cincinnati are undefeated but they seem to be a bigger story than TCU. TCU beat Boise St. last year and ended their chances of going unbeaten. This year TCU has beaten BYU and Utah by a ton of points. They went to Clemson University and beat the Tigers. They will not get a chance to play for a title because they don't play in a power conference and their conference is not a BCS conference. They line up every week and whack everyone that is put in front of them. What the hell is a horned frog anyway? So as Texas, Florida, and Alabama march towards a championship, TCU sits at home and will wonder what they could do in a game against the big boys!! Last year Utah smashed Alabama. Boise St. defeated Oklahoma in a big bowl game. Hell this year BYU beat up Oklahoma and ruined their season before it could started. TCU beat BYU at BYU this year by 27 points and it wasn't even that close. Two great academic schools whipping ass on the big boys.
The third 55 that caught my attention this weekend was turned in by NBA super rookie guard Brandon Jennings. Now anytime a person scores 55 points it is a big deal whether he is a rookie or a veteran. Golden St. Warriors are not a defensive juggernaut either. This kid was blasted for going to Europe last year and not going to college to learn his profession. Ten teams are all sitting at home asking themselves why did they did not choose they special player. Whether he hits the wall in March or April is irrelevant. He is combination of Kenny Anderson and Nick Van Exel. Milwaukee hasn't had this much excitement since Ray Allen was there. I mean when you approaching Wilt Chamberlain records that says a lot about you. No one saw this coming. The Timberwolves drafted Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn. Dont let me mention the who the Knicks drafted.. i cannot find a NBA photo of him. that should tell how unexpected all this is.
