A Few Random Musings from the past week

Golf
The PGA Championship got underway yesterday, and everyone's favorite playboy, Tiger Woods, shot out of the gate with a good showing. Something is weird, though. Despite his dominance of the last 2 decades, I've got this strange feeling that Woods won't be a major player come Sunday afternoon for the 4th and last Major this year. Having a driver smashed into your car (and head - unverified) over the Thanksgiving Holiday can apprently affect you far longer than most experts thought. That or he's got another Perkins waitress on his mind. Either way, Tiger's play is 2010 has begged the question: does the PGA World Rankings use a computer system developed for the BCS? Because this is a guy who has missed cuts, performed poorly, and hardly looks like the best player week in and week out. Yet, he maintains his hold on the #1 spot.

Reggie Bush
Reggie Bush apologized for the troubles at USC, and says no one feels worse than him about what is happening in Southern California. Funny. I would bet the juniors and seniors at USC who won't be able to play in any bowl games in 10 or 11 feel worse than him. I bet those guys who won the 04 natioanl title and didn't go pro, and who just lost their glory moment of their sports lives, feel worse than him. Hell, I bet Matt Leinert, who's struggling in Arizona, feels worse than him. I'm sure those who voted such a blatant cheater for the Heisman Trophy, and now can't do anything about it, feel worse than him.

ESPN Power Rankings
Pat Forde is an idiot. He's voted Boise State #1 in his preseason poll, because its a BCS Bowl Champion (by beating TCU....) with 20 returning starters. I'm not going on another rant about non-BCS teams, especially those in the WAC. Let's just wait until Labor Day, when Frank Beamer takes the wind outta the Boise sails, and sends them packing back to the Poinseittia Bowl this winter.
