Saturday Morning College Football Breakfast Burrito
October 2nd, 2009 by Daniel Freer
While Vince Mullins is away at sea, Daniel Freer will prepare this morning’s Fantasy College Blitz Saturday Morning Breakfast Burrito. Hopefully, he will make a better burrito than last week. His burrito last week was somewhere between the Penn State offense and the Florida State offense from September 26th.
Can you believe it…it is already Week Five!
It is near half-way through the college football season….and definitely half-way through your fantasy league regular season.
I mean, it was like, gee…only a few hours ago when the first game kicked off! My, how times flies…it’s like you just opened that first beer….grilled your first rib….deep fried your first turkey….drafted that first bust of a player….
I am not Jillian Barberie-Reynolds (or whatever she calls herself now)…but, I do have your Saturday morning weather forecast courtesy of the Weather Channel Looks like rain again for the East and Southeast (click the Weather Channel’s link to college football forecasts).
One of the things that stands out in Week Five are the number of Big XII teams taking the week off. Texas, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Nebraska…all are
in their off-week. This could really affect your fantasy offenses, because so many fantasy producers play at Big XII schools. And, although the Oklahoma Sooners are playing this week, they are on the road at Miami….with Landry Jones (photo, thanks scout.com) most likely starting at QB….not the still-injured Sam Bradford
If you have not submitted your final roster for this weekend….you may want to check, and check again, our various position review/previews for this week….FROM THE SHOTGUN (QBs), POWER-I (RBs), GOING DEEP (WRs)

With injuries to Tim Tebow (Florida) and Robert Griffin (Baylor) last weekend, our resident Injuryologist, Dr. William Carroll, updates the latest casualty list in Triage Time: Knee to the Groin
Our conference wrap-ups and previews this week contain some good info…and some clever headlines (aren’t we clever here at FCB)
Big East Bookend – The Beginning of the B.J. Daniels Era
Who is the worst FBS football team so far this season? My pick is New Mexico, who has lost every game….including a humbling 20-17 home loss last weekend to perennial rival New Mexico State. Coming into that game, I thought the NMSU Aggies were the worst of 2009…however, the Lobos proved me wrong. Maybe running off Rocky Long was not such a good idea, eh LoboFan….
I am not much of a movie guy, but, if you have to break from the college football frenzy for just a bit…there are two interesting flicks debuting this weekend….with some indirect college football relevance.
Zombieland is like a zombie-comedy in the mold of a Simon Pegg-Nick Frost zom-com, without the Brit accents. The main character, played by Woody Harrellson, is named Tallahassee. After the way Florida State played against South Florida last week in Tallahassee….the Noles looked like zombies.
Whip It is one of those rare movies where you see women wearing helmets clobber each other…it’s a roller derby flick. Its star, Ellen Page, takes a nasty Tim Tebow-like hit in the film (and also wants to throw up). Daniel Stern plays Page’s father, a big college football fan who goes to great lengths to watch football….away from his domineering wife. Man, do we know all about that….
