Well I can’t say I’m not surprised. I really thought USC was gonna be too much for Iowa to handle. I was torn between who to root for. I want to see the Big Ten do well in their Bowl games but at the same time I want to see the most untalented, uneducated, repulsive excuse for a human being, Trev Alberts be wrong. After having his lips surgically attached to the collective rear end to the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, it is good to see him wrong on so many fronts. (Don’t even get me started on his partner, Mark May. (I didn’t get any good links on him. All I got at ESPN.com is this) I’ve known two year olds who understand college football better than he does. Where does ESPN find these trolls?) I think Alberts will supplant Bret Musberger as the most hated Sports Analyst in Columbus. One of the greatest moments of College Gameday this year was at the OSU/Michigan game. Some hero had a sign that said Trev Sucks, Kirk Rules. Hahahahah, that made me laugh.
I will say one thing for Alberts (and May to a lesser degree): he know how to vault himself into the limelight. He’s playing to a tried and true technique that works in the WWE: Be a heel. Even though people hate you for the vapid and insipid comments you make you are nonetheless getting attention. He knows the Big Ten has a HUGE fan base and that OSU’s is probably the biggest. This allows him to make comments that are based solely on his obtuse opinion but he delivers them in such a way that he offends people to the point of making people hate him solely due to his comments. His comments are discussed on talk radio, on internet discussion boards and between fans everywhere. People here hate him. He couldn’t step foot in Columbus, people would pummel him beyond recognition. But ask anyone in Columbus who Trev Alberts is, and they’ll know.
Back to Iowa. I had felt Iowa was a decent team but I held strong to the belief that they were out of their league, especially matched up against USC. Had the Buckeyes played them this season I think we would have rolled over them. Yeah, Banks did well and Russell is a good back and their defense played big, but they are still Iowa. The only images that come to mind when I think of Iowa are the days of the stand-up tight-ends. I always thought that was pretty cool. But I would have liked to see the Big Ten run the tables during the bowls and make Alberts, May, and ever other worthless journalist who said the Big Ten was weak. Although Penn State looked bad the Big Ten has had a good showing thus far and will hopefully have continued success tomorrow.
Tresselball. I like it.
