Can you believe it…the 2009 season is only days away!

While you are getting your satellite adjusted, your new HD TV installed, and your fixin’s together for your first tailgate of the season…oh, yes, and that fantasy team of yours….we have been busy slaving away on which QBs you should start or sit for opening week.

In the first few weeks of the season, many of the best programs are playing much weaker opponents.

In most cases, when Big Time BCS Program plays Goatlips State, for example….it means a lot of fifth-stringers, scout-team players, and “players with no name on jersey” are going to see some playing time.  This means your star fantasy player will see less production, as he will be pulled as early as the second quarter.

Goatlips State may mean an easy win for Big Time BCS Program….but could wreck your fantasy team in the process.

In this edition, we will discuss whether you should play QBs who face weak opposition in their openers….players like Florida QB Tim Tebow (photo, thanks IconSMI) Read the rest of this entry →

As we near the start of the 2009 season, every mag and every rag will be listing their “must see” games for 2009.

Since we at Fantasy College Blitz are a fantasy college football site…we do have our “must see” games….although our “must see” are for those who want to see stats piled up, and, scores galore.

So, for our first edition of “The Games Every Fantasy Player Should Watch”, we are going to look at some of the September matchups….games that will most likely feature the college players you have drafted (or will draft)

Hey, even for one afternoon in September, Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks IconSMI) and his Wolf Pack from Reno just might turn NBC into the “Nevada Broadcasting Company”.

This time of the year, most of us are busy trying to figure out the difference between the 58th best RB and the 59th best RB in college football.  A few hours earlier, you made that tough decision on who was the 59th best RB.

Pre-draft Fantasy Football is really fun, but at times can be quite stressful…especially when that “other vocation” (a.k.a “work”) interferes with your fantasy pursuit….

“Boss, I will get back to the Gold Brick account in a few minutes…I have to do a quick analysis of the Tebow project…”

Pray your boss is not a Florida State Seminole….or the commissioner of your fantasy league.

So, take a few minutes…relax…and enjoy this quick excerpt.  Think of it as the condensed form of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader for the Fantasy Player.  However, you do not need to sit on the throne with your laptop or notebook while reading.

Because, you have always wondered if that ref viewing the instant replay video is really watching the replay…or his favorite porn flick… Read the rest of this entry →

Every year, a number of college coaches find themselves in the perilous position of having “to win now”.   They are on “The Hot Seat”.

No, it is a little different than you…in a moment of stupor….mistaking the barbecue grill for the folding chair.

A slightly different Hot Seat

College coaches endure a lot of pressure to win, win now, win always, win…win…win.  Although most are well-compensated, it is still not an easy job.

However, their toil and suffering can be a positive for the fantasy player.  Coaches in trouble will try to open up their offenses, or, improve their defenses severalfold.  They deserve the fantasy attention, as well as the usual media scrutiny.

Which coaches are on The Hot Seat for 2009?  Here are the top candidates (Coaches listed in no particular order):

It’s Draft Day and the pressure is on….Who should I select?

Strength of positions, from the fantasy perspective, is a very important factor when choosing your team.  Taking a running back in the first round is often a good move…taking a kicker is not.  Bidding high on an all-World WR is acceptable; bidding high on a Sun Belt defense is not.  Even the most accomplished of fantasy owners differ on which position you should draft first or most often.  The publishers of Fantasy College Blitz offer their advice and opinions on strength of positions.
