Monday, August 28, 2023 – My Monday Morning After College Football Awards
My apologies for no Snarky Friday. Had some eye issues. Besides the only schools playing were from the new I Don’t Care realignment and it was week ZERO!
However, just because I was unable to actually watch any football games does not prohibit me talking about some of them. People talk all the time about things they don’t know about. However, I heard it through the yard lines that there were some weird things.
First, even though I did not hear, nor see, I award The Big Mouth/ No Substance Award to former Dallas Cowboy coach Jason Garrett for the Notre Dame/Navy game. I understand Garrett noted the strength of Navy every other breath far into the fourth quarter when the score was 42-3. I understand Garrett will call all ND games. Another reason to dislike Notre Dame.
The Award for Stoppage of Football Game, Not Due to Injury, Weather or a Fight goes to The Drone Flying over the UMass and New Mexico State Game. Note to Aggies: That is not the NM we play on Saturday. Like we care, but UMASS won its opening game for the first time since 1973.

The Score Bug Award goes to Notre Dame. If you are like me you had no idea what a score bug was. It is that ribbon of statistics on the bottom of the TV screen. I was unaware that the score bug belonged to the home team. Notre Dame enlarged their score bug. Now it sits just under the wide receiver’s feet at the bottom of your screen. We shall see this weekend if other teams enlarge their score bug.
And as THE University in Austin prepares to enter its final year in the Big 12, Conference the team and Stevie Sarky adopted a new slogan. Embrace the Hate! Seriously, that is their slogan. So chosen because Texas knows/thinks all the other schools hate them because “We’re Texas!” With slogans like that no wonder other schools hate you. HWIT – BOOMER SOONERS! SIC ‘EM, BEARS! GO COUGARS! Any team, but TU! I also think TU might have fumbled big time on this. Remember, next year TU, you will be U-T-2! Tennessee was there before Texas long before football.
Here's What I'm Thinking
