According to Carp

The Week 4 College football slate was solid to say the least. There were some great games and some unexpected outcomes. LSU couldn't get a much needed win to save their head coaches job. The loss to Auburn was a microcosm of Miles's tenure at LSU. Play well enough to keep it close, but commit costly errors at the end of the game that end up in a loss. LSU was more talented than Auburn, but not better coached and because of the archaic offense it was finally time to move on.

Ohio State was off after a big win against Oklahoma, but it doesn't mean it was a big day in the Big Ten. Wisconsin strolled into East Lansing and made a well coached Michigan State team look pedestrian. Mark Dantonio couldn't have been happy after allowing the Badgers to roll up 30 points, while turning over the football.

Can Rutgers challenge Ohio State? I don't think so, but there are a number of areas continuous improvements that must be worked on for the Buckeyes to beat better teams in November.

The LSU Mess

Ohio State v. Rutgers

Week 4 of the College Football Season did not disappoint. All of the big games lived up to the drama, except one and everyone stayed locked on Florida State at Louisville because of the disbelief in what they were seeing. Lamar Jackson absolutely undressed the Seminole defense and that's what Petrino's Cardinals are ranked 3rd in the nation.

Ohio State strolled into Norman about a three point favorite, they rolled out with over a 20 point lead. It was a result that shocked most across the college football landscape, but not the Buckeye players. They were prepared and imposed their will upon the OU line until they quit. Find out how OSU was able to dominate OU on both sides of the ball.

OSU v OU Recap

College football has been on a roller coaster ride through 3 weeks. Week 1 was packed with terrific matchups; Week 2 left something to be desired as far as matchups go, but still had some solid games. Week 3 promises to be a gem. There are 4 great games with the 1st game kicking at noon. Louisville v. FSU kicks off the day, Ole Miss v. Bama at 3:30 and the evening entrées of MSU v. ND and OSU v. OU Saturday promise to keep your day as unproductive as ever.

Ohio State and Oklahoma looked to be the premier week 3 matchup this summer. Two preseason top 10 blue bloods, what's not to love about that? With OU stumbling in there opening to Houston it pushed the Sooners into a corner. This is essentially a must win for Bob Stoops whose team went from a 10 point favorite to a 3 point dog in less than a month. Can Baker Mayfield and Co. rally the Sooners against a young Buckeye squad? I can't wait until Saturday night

Week 3 CFB Preview

OSU v. OU

Week one of CFB lived up to its billing. Rarely when something is called "the best ever" does it meet expectations. Week 1 did, but Week 2 will disappoint. With a dynamic AP Poll, very little should change this week given that there are no Top 25 matchups. It's a barren wasteland and thus time to only watch the games you care about.

OSU looked great in their shredding of Bowling Green, but it didn't tell us much. Tulsa is better than BG, but by how much? I don't think Buckeye Fans should expect the same outcome, but OSU needs to be sharp.

Fifteen years ago the United States was changed for good. It has been more than two centuries since the United States had seen their mainland attacked. 9/11 rocked the sports world the following weekend and now we can commemorate those terrible events.

Remembering 9/11

Football is back… and I for one am excited. The opening weekend has some of the best matchups in recent memory. Top 25 matchups like USC /Alabama, Wisconsin/LSU, and Houston/Oklahoma will be a treat to take in. College football fans will be able to benchmark teams against tough competition in the opening weekend.

Urban Meyer release Ohio State's depth chart for the 1st time this season. Typically there are 22 starters between the offense and defense… OSU has nearly 30. It's due all of the "OR" starters due to the immense youth on this football. Urban wants to see who the playmakers are and the only way to find out is to see it live. According to Carp will take you inside to see who will emerge and where are OSU's strengths.

Cleveland hadn't won a title in over 50 years, so it seemed fitting that their Championship parade would run long. Lebron poured his heart on the stage and it was littered with profanity. It bothered some and excited others.

NBA free agency here and owners are throwing around cash like drunken sailors. Mozqov got paid big $$$ by the Lakers, he is only one example. The problem is for me is now many young players under 30 are declining to represent the USA in the Olympics. It bothers me

All hope seamed lost. The Cavs fell apart late in Game 4 and blew seemingly any chance of a NBA. However, an improbable win in Game 5 changed the paradigm. Although the "Nutcracker" Green didn't play, the Cavs have a home game to force a seventh and decisive game. It's not how many planned it, but there still is hope. How can the Cavs find a win? There is a path.

OJ Simpson is one of the most intriguing sports characters in American history. His rise from the slums of San Francisco to national fame was that of a fairly tail. Although it ended in a nightmare, how OJ developed into the man he became is extremely interesting.

The term "must win" in sports is used almost to the point of nausea. However, if the Cavs were going to have any hope of winning a NBA Title Game 3 was a "must win." There was no way to expect Cleveland to reel of 4 straight against the best regular season team in NBA history. They turned in a performance for the ages and not a moment too soon.

The House that Harley built had been around for nearly a century, however there has never been beer sold through the entire stadium on game day. It is going to happen and it will be glorious (to me), but there will be some detractors.
