Stanford vs. Virginia Tech 7:30 (ESPN):
So, uh, I was working this week and I had College Football Final or some such insipid programming on in the background, and I think it was Mel Kiper and Todd McShay who were espousing the under-appreciated glory, workmanship, and overall success of Tyrod Taylor at quarterback this season. He manages the games. He makes plays with his feet. And he should have a shot as an NFL Quarterback, says McShay. Sure, he meant in a Matt Flynn fashion, but thats still horrifyingly inexcusable. Im 100% positive that when he heard this, Andrew Luck guffawed so loudly that it registered on the Richter scale as at least a 4. This is the same Tyrod Taylor whos been QB for Virginia Tech now for going on 7 seasons, and who long mastered the Landry Jones scramble and throw 15 years out of bounds past an open receiver before Landry Jones ever grew his first face pube, right? The same guy who found a way to lose a game this season to James Madison? I dont care if this guy won the rest of his games, and I dont care if he won the rest of his games by throwing for 4000 yards, running for another 1500, while committing zero turnovers, he is a sucky quarterback and isnt even the same league as Andrew Lucks soiled jock when were comparing potential NFL ability. Stanford and Harbaugh are going to roll bigtime. Theyd win even if that Alien unwound itself from Beamers neck, sped across the field and dissolved Lucks entire face.

Sydney Carton, of course, is the famous - Redrum - 12-26-2010
wastrel and drunk who switches places with his uncanny twin in Dickens\'
Tale of Two Cities and goes to the guillotine saying "it is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done before.\'
I\'m thinking this piece wasn\'t far, far better than he\'s ever written before.
I mean, I hope Tyrod lives down to this guy\'s estimation of him.
I\'m sure he won\'t -

Not sure why this guy dislikes Taylor so much, but calling him a hack because he lost to James Madison on the way to the Orange Bowl is a little like us calling Don Bunce a hack because he lost to SJS on the way to the Rose Bowl.

He\'s a Texas fan wallowing in the misery of the Longhorns\' debacle of a season--they tend to talk down their opponents with a considerable amount of bravado. Â They are the site from which I picked up the phrase "stomp a mudhole in [opponent of the week]."
