Can you believe it…the fantasy regular season is just about over for all of your leagues!
Gosh…it seems like yesterday when we were just ruminating over our fantasy drafts. That “fantasy bust” you picked first in your fantasy draft (or paid 9/10 of your auction salary cap on) looked like a sure-fire fantasy-star three months ago…before he tore his patellar tendon while stealing a big-screen TV from his agents’ girlfriends house.
However, for you all who selected wisely…the fruits of your smart labor will be rewarded this weekend, especially those who have Oklahoma QB Landry Jones. Read the rest of this entry →
It is already the eighth week of the 2010 college football season, and many of you are prepping for the run to your league’s fantasy playoffs…or finishing the final weeks of a lame season.
Still, everyone prefers to win…so you need a good QB. Or, a seviceable one, if your top fantasy QB is off this week….and many top QBs are off on Week Eight.
This development means that some QBs who may not normally see regular action on fantasy teams are getting their shot at starting this week. Others, like Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson, become one of the best plays of the week. Read the rest of this entry →
The nation really did not get to see much of our Big XII Fantasy Player of the Year until a Thanksgiving night matchup against Texas….where our honoree went head-to-head with Texas QB Colt McCoy…and fared quite well
That player, Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson, had a number of other great games during the season….which earned him our 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Big XII Fantasy Player of the Year.
Johnson (photo, thanks, GoAggies.com), a junior from Humble, TX (Humble HS), lit up opponents for over 2800 yards passing and 24 passing TDs…while rushing for nearly 600 yards and 8 TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).
While Vince Mullins is on assignment for Fantasy College Blitz, once again the “Steven Sheffield of burrito-making”, Daniel Freer, will prepare this morning’s burrito. Although Daniel has improved his burrito-making skills…mind you, it is not the burrito made by Mullins and Company…but, he does put it out a little earlier…
Of course, the big game this week (all apologies to USC@Notre Dame) is the Red River Shootout at the Texas State Fair in Dallas (Cotton Bowl) between Texas and Oklahoma. This game may not have the “awesome” factor it had earlier in the year….with Oklahoma having two, 1-point losses coming into the game….but it will still have a huge impact on the Big XII and National Championship race.

Although the game has lost some of its luster as the 2009 season has progressed, the annual Red River Shootout between Texas and Oklahoma should be another interesting 60 minutes of football this coming Saturday.
Even with Oklahoma already recording two losses this season (both by one point to two ranked teams), the Sooners still have a say on the Big XII championship. Knocking off undefeated, #2 ranked Texas could salvage a somewhat disappointing season for the school north of the Red River. Also, a healthier Sam Bradford (photo, thanks IconSMI) would boost OU’s chances greatly.
Meanwhile, Texas is in the drivers seat to a Big XII championship, and, a slot in the BCS National Championship game. Led by Heisman hopeful QB Colt McCoy and a stellar defense, the Longhorns hope to duplicate the success they had last season in their 45-35 win over the Sooners.
However, as big as this game will be, I would hold off playing either QB this weekend…here is why (see below)…. Read the rest of this entry →
