Sorry, caught myself channeling Bugs Bunny. Just as Versus analyst Kelly Stouffer channeled Bugs' nemesis, Elmer Fudd, by referencing "Smell-evision" during the Pitt-Utah game. Here are ten other thoughts that came to mind as I channeled the channels on college football's opening night:
1) ESPN analyst Craig James, discussing the Wolverines, who have lost two home openers in the past three years, noted that improving Connecticut "is the worst team that Michigan could start with." It is hyperbolic comments such as that one that Mike Leach's attorneys should be jotting down before their court date.
2) South Carolina, the Michigan State of the SEC (good, but perennially overshadowed by the state's other major program), finally appears to have a potent offense in Steve Spurrier's sixth season. Junior quarterback Stephen Garcia, above right, played with poise, freshman quarterback Conor Shaw is a natural passer, and fellow frosh Marcus Lattimore (two TDs) lived up to the hype at tailback. Next up: Georgia visits a week from Saturday.
3) You think Steve Spurrier didn't know this was Jenn Brown's big-stage debut? The ESPN sideline reporter asked him why his two starters had been suspended just before kickoff and he deftly sidestepped the question, figuring -- correctly -- that Brown would not turn a shade of Jim Gray and badger him for the answer. As sideline reporters go, Versus' Lindsay Soto, who worked the Pitt-Utah game, is as good -- and attractive -- as anyone ESPN has. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
