RIZZO: CFB Bowl Season

by Michael Rizzo

The College Football Bowl the schedule really heats this week. Tomorrow West Virginia plays at 6:30 against North Carolina State. There are three games on Wednesday and four on Thursday. Notre Dame will play at 2:00 on Friday and Penn State will play Saturday at 1pm against Florida. The big game on News Year’s Day will TCU vs. Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. Uconn will also try to pull off an upset over Oklahoma late Saturday in the Fiesta Bowl. Ohio State will play Arkansas late next Tuesday. Pitt will have to wait until noon on January 8th before their match-up against Kentucky. The BCS game isn’t until Monday, January 10th, and I’m going to pick Oregon over Auburn.

RIZZO: Pryor on the Naughty List

by Michael Rizzo

Somewhere someone might find a Terrelle Pryor Big Ten Championship Ring under their tree tomorrow. As you probably know a few of Ohio State’s star players were given a 2011 suspension for selling some of their football items. Of course they’re the rare unlucky ones who the NCAA actually caught. I’m certainly not in the camp, who believes college athletes should be paid. It seems like gift receiving and rule breaking behavior is on the rise. I suggest if you want it turned around start suspending and fine, the millionaire coaches, AD’s and universities presidents. Have a third party organization, equally oversee all programs. The NCAA policing the NCAA is like the NFL doing steroid testing. Anyway I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
