Zook'ed ON YOU

by EhhTee

Nine weeks of football are behind us. Eight weeks are on tap.

The BCS is under attack... again.

Ron Zook is out as coach at Florida. Is Steve Spurrier on tap to come back?

Utah is on fire.

Virginia Tech is ranked. If two plays/calls went the other way the Hokies would be undefeated. If two other plays/calls went the other way the Hokies would be 3-4.

Ohio State, Florida, and LSU has slipped into nothingness. Auburn and Wisconsin are surprising many.

This year is a little more than half finished and one thing hasn't changed: college football is full of controversy, drama, and surprises.

Florida...

The University of Florida has slipped off of the polls as its football squad continues to struggle under the direction of Ron Zook. Its glory days under Steve Spurrier are remembered well and fans are calling for his return ala the return of Joe Gibbs to the Washington Redskins. The nail in Ron Zook's coffin was last weekend's loss to then 1-5 Mississippi State. To Zook's credit, Steve Spurrier could not beat the Bulldogs in Starkville either. He was 0-2 at Mississippi State.

BCS...

The state of Florida is the focus of yet another controversy (Presidential elections aside). In
week one of the BCS ranking, Miami came out the number two team. Despite being number two in both the human polls, Oklahoma started at number three in the BCS poll. This week, the teams swapped to match the human polls, but the damage was done and the BCS critics are out in force.

Some day, we'll have a system that everyone can agree upon. And some day, we'll all die. Which will come first? Well, I'm betting on the latter.

Florida...

The University of Miami looked invincible on Saturday as they demolished the NC State Wolfpack. This same team that dominated the Hokies on defense, looked poor against the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes might very well have been fueled by the four hurricanes to make landfall in other parts of that state.

Hokie Two Step...

The Hokies, currently fourth in the ACC, are at a crossroads. As Mad Jay puts it, they're staring down the path toward the ACC Championship. Much stands in their way. There is several other paths that they can take. It is very likely they will end up taking one of these paths.

All of these paths begin in Altanta. Tomorrow, the Hokies can take a giant leap down a path to a great season. They could also, take a path towards what has become all too familiar. A late season slide into mediocracy.

Florida...

With early elections going strong, Florida already has nine lawsuits pending trial on the election. Will this country ever get it right?
