The Best Week EVER (for football)

Football is king in Texas. Football is really king in Texas when you have the start of high school football, a No. 1 versus No.2 and the start of gamblers united, I mean the NFL. This is upcoming week is one that I am going to tell my kids about. This will rank up there with me scoring a date with Jessica Alba. In addition to this, the WNBA season will finally be over this week! I love women’s sports as much as the next guy but its time for the WNBA to take a one-year hiatus. Goodbye Lisa Leslie, hello Lisa Guererro. This week can be described in one word. As Johnny Drama would say, VICTORYYYYYYYY!. Here is why I am excited about this week.

1. Monday: Florida State v Miami…Nothing like facing your hated rival in the first week. Rumor has it that Miami will get most of its players out on parole for the game. Football ranking: 4 out of 10.

2. Thursday: Opening week for the Connally Cougars. For those of you who are not familiar with the Connally Cougars, they are my team. I am doing play-by-play for the Cougars on Kmacsports.com. No other high school sport is as exciting as football in Texas. I will be part of a team that made it to the state semi-finals. I get a chance to follow a team and call them my own. I will go through the ups and downs with the players. I will make bias calls half way through the season. I am going to enjoy seeing high school players make strides to achieving their goals. What better way to start the weekend than my first ever play-by-play call for the Cougars. If you would like to listen to the play-by-play, log onto Kmacsports.com around 6:45 p.m. Football ranking: 7 out of 10

3. Thursday: the first game of the NFL season. The Dolphins take on the Steelers. The Steelers will start their championship defense without Ben “What’s a helmet” Rothlisberger. How will Daunte Culpepper fair against the stingy Steelers defense? Will Chris Chambers have a Steve Smith like year? Will Bill Cowher get a chin reduction? All this and more on Thursday night! Football ranking: 5 out of 10

4. Friday: Every high school team in Texas will have played at least one game. Football Ranking: 4 out of 10.
5. Saturday: Texas v THE Ohio State University…ESPN Gameday, Mack Brown, Bevo, Colt McCoy, Ramonce Taylor (oh wait that’s right), Troy “Poor man’s Vince Young” Smith and Woody Paige. This game alone is worthy enough to make this week the best football week ever. No.1 vs. No.2…one team’s National Championship hopes will be put to rest and the other will have the pressure to win out. The monkey is not on Mack’s back anymore, it has jumped to Jim Tressel. How will Texas handle the new OSU explosive offense? Will ESPN finally stop covering USC and focus on the biggest game of the year? Will ESPN give this game five good minutes on SportsCenter or will they need permission from Notre Dame to do that? This game is going to be amazing. It is going to live up to the hype. UT will extend its winning streak to 22 when its all said and done. Troy Smith will come back to Earth and take a back seat to Brady Quinn like everyone in the nation. Ted Ginn Jr. will be on his way to becoming the next Maurice Clarett. Football Ranking: 10 out of 10

6. OPENING DAY IN THE NFL! Gamblers from all over the world will miss more games than the USA did shots in the FIBA championships. Opening week in the NFL means that Chris Berman gets to do real work and that ESPN will stop talking about Notre Dame. This is the Sunday where you can finally see a game that is for real. No more pre-season or scrimmages. No more seeing 4^th string players. Opening week brings us one week closer to seeing David Carr being benched. I finally get to see my Texans go out and win a game against the Eagles. The curse of T.O. starts this season for McNabb. McNabb will never make the playoffs again. Football Ranking: 10 out of 10.
   

I will be updating the blog after every football moment to let yall know my thoughts about everything. VICTORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
