Gravity

"Oh yeah, make sure you spell it right bruh! We're B.A.C.K.!"

Sir Isaac Newton broke down one of the most profound quotes of all time when he said, “What goes up must come down”, when he discovered the Law of Gravity. The old timers always gave it to you like this, “Be nice to people on your way up because you’ll run into those same folks on the way down.” Even the Kingpin’s hustling in the streets understand that they can’t run it forever. It’s called preparing for the fall off because you can’t be on top forever. Boyz either die, go to jail or get smart enough to get out of the game but they know they can't stick around long. 

It works the same way in the world of college football. However, in this sport it’s more cyclical than anything. Programs get hot for a period of time and then something happens and they fall off only to come back years later. Florida State is a prime example of the resurrection of a program that was dominate and had completely fallen off and now looks to be BACK! With an impressive come from behind 48-37 win at the crib on national TV on Saturday night against high powered Clemson the Seminoles ARE BACK like Bobby Bowden, Dadgummit!!! EJ Manual put the boyz on his back and the Seminoles put up 35 2^nd half points to let the world now that Chief Osceola and Renegade are ridin’ high once again!

 Right before the college football season kicked off I wrote about how the game is cyclical and that SEC teams like Alabama and LSU wouldn’t win the title this year because of the natural order of college football. I’ve been saying on all of my Weekly College Football Previews and Wrap Ups that Florida State and West Virginia are my sleeper teams to get to the national title game in Miami because their schedules will allow them to run the table. Jimbo Fisher is killing both Florida and Miami on the recruiting trail because it's FSU's turn to drink from the fountain of prosperity. Miami has all kinds of problems right now and Florida has Will Muschamp that's still trying to figure out what Florida is. So it's just Florida State's turn on the merry-go-round bruh and they're handling their business at this point!

 I believe both LSU and Bama will get snake bitten in the SEC this year and lose a game. LSU almost went down to dull Auburn last night and Bama will lose at either LSU, Tennessee or both. Bama's secondary is suspect and the Vols throw the ball better than anybody in the SEC with Tyler Bray and Co. Tennessee doesn't play Bama until  October 20th so they'll have plenty of time to get the bugs out. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Nick Saban just put Alabama back on the map bruh! They’re dominant right now but keep in mind that coaches come and go and top talent shows up based on who's in charge. Before Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa the Tide hadn’t won a title since 1992. That’s the way it goes. Remember how dominant Miami was between ’83 and ’91 then they took a dip and came back in 2001 and won it all?

Oklahoma has had its share of runs with Bud Wilkinson (NCAA record 47 straight wins with 3 national titles) and Barry Swizter (3 national titles) got caught up with the worse week in OU history and was fired. Charles Thompson got arrested for selling dope to an undercover, three cats got charged with rape then a player shoots another over a cassette tape in the dorm all in one week. It wasn’t until Bob Stoops took over in ’99 that they got back to glory in 2000.  Now they’re struggling to be consistent losing to dull #15 Kansas State 24-19 on Saturday at the crib of all places. Turnovers will kill you every time.

The same thing is happening with Texas and Mac Brown right now as they're trying to get back on Bevo. USC was a powerhouse in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s then UCLA took over in the ‘80’s with all of those Terry Donahue led teams that seemed like they won the Rose Bowl every year.

USC got back on the Trojan Horse when Pete Carroll showed up in Hollywood until he ran out of town trying to get away from the NCAA and the whole Reggie Bush scandal. Ohio State was rolling under ole Jim Tressel but the hood tattoo parlor got in the way.Ain't that something, the hood always finds a way to bring a boy down.  Nebraska was unstoppable under Tom Osborne (retired) and Frank Solich ( got fired for going 9-3?) and now Bo Pelini is trying to get them back to prominence.

 Something always happens to derail the joint. Either the coach leaves for greener pastures, retires, gets fired because the level of expectation gets to big to keep up with or something goes terribly wrong. Either way, the party doesn’t last all night bruh. Somebody is going to start beefin’ and they’re going to have to clear the joint out and standing around in the parking lot isn't allowed.

Don’t think for one minute that ole Nick is going to Kissy (stay put) in Tuscaloosa bruh! He was rolling in Baton Rouge only to leave for the bread of the NFL only to return to the college game for even more bread. Let’s keep it real, Nick at some point will get bored and bounce because either he’ll need more bread, a challenge or both just like Steve Spurrier and Urban did at Florida.  Now I know ya'll don't believe Urban broke because of his health! I'm just sayin'! I grew up in the the "G" and I know when boyz disappear it ain't because they volunteered. How about the pressure to keep winning without Tebow and too many cats getting arrested as the real reason bruh. Just tell me the truth I can handle it. 

So as long as the game is cyclical I’ll enjoy watching Florida State and West Virginia get it in this year! I’m having a ball already and it’s only been 4 weeks. Stayed tuned as I continue to clown ole dull Gene Chizik and the Auburn Tigers on my Weekly Previews and Wrap Up videos because Sir Isaac Newton got turned on to something when that apple hit him in the head. 

Holla At Ya Boy!
