Vince guested on Matt Mc Sports Fix, and we all need a hit.

Covering all the big stories of college football’s Monster weekend, but mostly focusing on the Denard Robinson phenomena and the flaccid ACC performance (4 ranked ACC teams lost). Oh yes, and Matt McCluskey loves him some Big East…

The final tally for Week One is in, and it should be no surprise that the Boise State Broncos received a fair share of first-place votes. Most voters will keep Alabama there until they lose. Both positions very defensible. I will jump back in with my vote next week.

The eyes of fantasy players always seem to light up a little bit more when the Western Athletic Conference is mentioned…it means “a lot of offense” in Fantasy-Speak.

And, for 2010, it could mean even more offense than in past years, as Boise State and Nevada return a good part of their offense from last season.  Also, some coaching changes around the league may upgrade some of the WAC’s weaker offenses.

You can be assured that fantasy players and leagues around the land will be jockeying to draft WAC talent like Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks Scout.com) very early on… Read the rest of this entry →

FIESTA BOWL:  Boise State vs TCU; Janaury 4, 2010; University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ; 8PM Eastern; FOX

The first BCS Bowl Game, with two oppponents not members of BCS automatic-qualifying conferences, should be a classic confrontation between  the most dominant non-BCS programs of the decade…..the Boise State Broncos and the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs (TCU).

Both Boise State and TCU contain very productive offenses, and, tough slobber-knocking defenses.  Although the two schools may not belong to the more affluent BCS conferences….the 2010 Fiesta Bowl will be one of the best bowl games to close out the 2009 season…. Read the rest of this entry →

“I wanna dump him…he is a bust“.

I heard a lot of this talk early in the 2009 season from fantasy players in regard to our WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.  I advised everyone concerned to stay with this player….he will eventually have a break-out season.

Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks USA Today), our Fantasy College Blitz – Western Athletic Conference Fantasy Player of the Year, did not win the honor because he made this humble scribe look like a genius.  He wins the honor for being, arguably, the most productive player in college football for the last two-thirds of the season.

The junior from Turlock, CA (Pitman HS) Pistol-whipped his opponents, passing for 1734 yards and 16 TDs, and, rushing for another 1126 yards and scoring 16 TDs (stats quoted through November 21st games).   Kaepernick was also our 2008 FCB WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.

Joining Kaepernick on the WAC All-Fantasy Team are… Read the rest of this entry →
