Alright, alright. So I got a little busy when the first Blogpoll Roundtable was published. That’s why I woke up a few hours before the rest of Subway Station. Here is this weeks edition of the Roundtable hosted by College Game Balls:
1. Which freshman impressed you more last weekend: the California dream Matt Barkley who quarterbacked USC over tOSU or white lightening Tate Forcier who slashed through Notre Dame? Which one would you like to have on your team? Feel free to write in another worth candidate.
Put the knife a little deeper in my sack, why don’t ya. Am I to sit here and say that I want the starting quarterback of one of the two biggest rivals on my team? Did I not suffer enough Saturday? Well if you want an answer, than you will have to handle the consequences… I don’t give a shit. Send me either. I don’t care. Both will sit behind Clausen this year and possibly next year. If Jimmy leaves early, they will sit behind Dayne Crist next year- and every year that he is there. They will sit behind Andrew Hendrix or Tommy Rees (incoming freshmen for 2010). I might even redshirt Forcier and Barkley- just so they could sit on the bench for 5 years.
Are you fucking serious asking that question to me? Shit.
2. Let’s play a game of pretend the unthinkable happened. Commissioner __________ of your conference has been forced to resign after he was caught canoodling with some harlots. Great news, you’ve been chosen to succeed him. To make your mark you decide to make a big change. What is it going to be?
The commissioner of my conference? I picked a good week to answer the Blogpoll, huh? Well, for the sake of this post, I will call Notre Dame A.D. Jack Swarbrick the commissioner of The Conference of One. A big change? You’re talking about a school that makes less changes in Tradition and thinking than the Vatican.
Here’s a smaller one that may go unnoticed- which is a good thing when dealing with the old alumni: Put those trophies front and center. No, I’m not talking about the 7 Heisman’s, or the 12 National titles… I’m talking about the trophy games against rivals- all 5 games, including the one game with 2 trophies. Quit hiding these things and make a spectacle of ourselves. C’mon… it’ll be fun.
3. This week the quality of games is kicked up a gear. Other than your own, which game are you most looking forward to?
Florida State @ BYU. I’m as curious as a cat in heat about BYU and the possible future of the Stormin’ Mormons. Even though Florida State is unranked- this is still a big game for BYU as they continue to try and climb the polls and make a run at the BCS and even- the National title game. This game has intrigue, and contradiction- two of my favorite things.
4. What mascot and/or tradition would you thieve from another school if it was socially acceptable.
This one will put Notre Dame in the forefront and help battle our most hated rival, U$C. I’ll take the UCLA Cheerleaders:
