Jenkins jumps around; makes key INT for Ohio State win at Wisconsin

Senior All-world cornerback Malcolm Jenkins left yet another mark on his path to being one of the best defensive backs Ohio State’s rich history.  With less than one minute remaining in the game, the other Ohio State #2 snagged a pass from Wisky QB Allan Evridge to secure a 20-17 win over the Badgers.

Winning on the road at Camp Randall Stadium is no small feat.  The Badgers have won 19 straight at home and have one of the toughest crowds to back them up.  The third quarter tradition of blaring House of Pain while 90,000 drunk fans jump up and down has become a staple home Wisconsin games.

However, last night, other people got into the fun:

Ohio State’s new superhero backfield duo of true freshman Terrelle Pryor and bulldozer running back Beanie Wells did not disappoint. Wells covered 168 yards on the ground and scored once. Pryor, while making a few rookie mistakes, drove his team 80 yards in under 2:00 minutes to score on an option keeper.  This was TP’s first big test.  He passed.

Corso comes up big; picks Bama to roll.

Tuscaloosa is in heaven right now.  Nick Saban has turned that program around in just 2 years.  Who would’ve thought?  Lee Corso, that’s who!   He picked the elephants of Alabama to march into Sanford Stadium and beat the #3 Georgia Bulldogs on their field, at night, in the Black Out.

The nation watched as Matthew Stafford’s Heisman hopes were tossed away.

Our main tan, Lee Corso, picked the upset.  Nice job Lee.  Big swing game for you and you came through.

Some of the funny signs seen at the Georgia/Alabama Gameday:

1.  Tebow knocked up Palin’s daughter

2.  USC forgot to shave their Beavers

3.  Get your tampons, it’s the Crimson Tide!

4.  Once you Go Black, you never go back

5.  I’ve had wedgies cooler than Alabama football

 

Overall, not a terrible week for creativity, but still not what MGAF likes to see.  By far, the OSU/USC Gameday brought the humor more than any other schools.  Check in next week when we review the picks and signs as Gameday travels to Vanderbilt.  Yes, I said Vanderbilt.

Lee Corso shocks the world and improves record to 2-1.

Lee Corso has surprised his mother today.  He has a winning record in something.  That’s something we rarely see.  While some Ohio State tools were picking the Buckeyes to stop the Trojan offense, the rest of the nation knew what would happen; and it did.  USC routed OSU 35-3 in a game where the drama left the field after 5:00 minutes.

Lee’s tan was very pleased with the creativity of signs that showed up at the the Los Angeles Coliseum.  As I’ve stated in previous posts, the average college student has become lame and not funny whatsoever.  However, the Trojan/Buckeye crew proved that theory false as they brought the humor.

MGAF was able to snag some quality pics of this weeks best Gameday Signs:

1. Erin Andrews meet me at Skybar at 9PM

 2.  Our sweaters are better than yours

3. US & C nice

4.  Ryan Lewis lives with his parents

5.  ESPN Injury Report-  Beanie: Doubtful  OSU loss: Definite

And yes, Shame-U owns one of those signs.  I’ll give you 10 high fives if you can guess which one?

We’re back from Los Angeles.

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

After five days of debauchery, the MGAF crew is back.   While we visited the City of Angels, our expense account found it to be the City of Devils.  Getting a combined 10 hours of sleep over four nights, we found out that Cali really knows how to party.   However, that did not stop us from attending a third-straight Gameday.

As you can see over the bronze god’s shoulder, Shame-U rolled out of bed at 7:00 am pacific time to improve it’s Gameday record to 3 straight appearances in 2008.   With no sleep at all, the tailgating continued.  Our crew even caught a climpse of super RILF Erin Andrews.  Honestly, she is really not that hot and all of us could do better….       I’m lying.

We stumbled on the Holy Grail of tailgating while outside the Coliseum.  Only in SoCal would you find an absolutely enormous white tent filled with HD TV’s, gourmet food, white leather couches, and most important - an open bar.  We spent many hours under this shrine watching the Junior Varisty Michigan/Notre Dame game as well as the typical Big Ten fallapart against Pac 10.

Overall, the trip was a success.  We watched Ohio State fans throw themselves into on-coming traffic and watched USC fans throw themselves into on-coming hot blonds with fake boobs.  Jim Tressel now faces the pressure of the fans, alumni, boosters, and those who provide big time cash to pay his recruits.  Will he start mega-recruit Terrelle Pryor next game?  Or will he stick with the 18th year statue, Todd Boeckman?

On the opposite sideline, Petey Carroll is smiling, tanning, and winning.  Right now, it’s good to be a Trojan fan.  Too bad we’re not.

 

 

The MGAF staff heads to OSU/USC game

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Yes, we are writing this from the airport.   The MGAF/Shame-U crew is heading to Los Angeles to watch the biggest college football clash of the season.  For those of you going, look for us slangin some t-shirts and buy us a much deserved beer.  For you losers staying home, watch us yet again on ESPN College Gameday.  (Which by the sucks on the West Coast.  7:30 am?!)

We will be updating with pictures of our crusade to L.A. as well as pics from our  crazy nights out with Spencer Pratt. 

Spencer Pratt

Beanie Wells makes his return to the Buckeye lineup claiming that he is “ready to carry the ball 45 times on Saturday.”  Considering the Beanmeister will be facing one of, if not the, best defenses in all of the nation.   Both the Ohio State junior running back and USC QB1 Mark Sanchez continue their own marches to the Heisman Trophy.

The experts at ESPN break down the featured match up in this video.

MGAF’s official prediction - Ohio State 28 USC 24.

See you in Los Angeles!

Corso improves record to 1-1, Shame-U makes another appearance at Gameday

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

The former Indiana joke-of-a-coach actually predicted a game correctly.    I don’t give him too much credit though.  Picking the #5 team in the nation at home over an unranked Miami team isn’t too difficult.  Perhaps the biggest test of Corso’s knowledge of college football will come next weekend at the game of the year, Ohio State at USC.

The signs are Gameday are really in a slump this year.  I know the sign Nazi’s are in full effect, but you college kids (and old guys like us wishing we were in college) need to step it up.  The semi-funny signs this week:

1.  Shame-U loves Kirk’s mystic tan.  (I’m not even biased, definitely the funniest sign)

2.  The only Hurricane that conquers Gators is IKE.

3.  Hurricane Forecast:  Rainey all day

4.  thUgs

5.  Butt Noor ( I have no idea what this is)

I really expect the Buckeye/Trojan crew to really bring their A game this weekend at ESPN Gameday. 

USC, Ohio State ranked #1 and 2 in first unofficial BCS standings

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

The BCS is like a terrible car accident on the side of the road.  It’s terrible.  No one likes it.  It makes people sick to their stomachs.  Yet we can’t stop looking at it.  And discussing it.

While the official BCSucks rankings don’t come out for several more weeks, we can always refer back to the unofficial rankings done by the BCSGuru.   The way-too-early-to-tell rankings are as follows:

1. USC

2. Ohio State

3. Florida

4. Georgia

5. LSU

6. Oklahoma

7. Missouri

8. West Virginia

9. Texas

10. Auburn

Whether these will be close to the final season standings is anyone’s guess.  Notice who is at the top 2 spots on the mock BCS rankings, the Trojans and Buckeyes.  The MGAF staff still has a hunch that Ohio State will also jump Georgia in the AP/Coaches polls to #2, setting up a monster 1 vs 2 showdown September 13 when the Buckeyes travel to USC.
