A few college football observations

I have an issue with a recent trend I've noticed in college football: The mid-air ass bump after touchdowns. Really? You can't come up with anything a little more original? I thought that move was permanently retired like the Members Only jacket and parachute pants.

My top two annoying college football announcers: Brent Musburger and Chris Spielman. Every play for Brent Musburger has to be the momentum killer or builder. Every guy who makes a big play is suddenly the epic, mythical guy. Lighten up a little bit, bro. Games aren't decided on a 7 yard run in the second quarter of a game. Chris Spielman is annoying for one simple thing: he tries to be the Billy Packer of college football with the sudden, spastic remarks after breaking down a play. Billy Packer is annoying enough when he does it. We don't need you and Jay Bilas trying to do the same. It's seriously grating.

Are CBS and ESPN smoking Tim Tebow's pole? You'd think this guy was already annointed as the greatest college football player of all time. Yes, he's the first guy in history to rush and pass for at least 20 TDs each. But what was the question people asked after Florida won the national title? With Chris Leak gone, can Tim Tebow win as the full-time guy? Three losses in the conference would suggest people should hold off on the Tebow coronation for now...
