Last Saturday, college football was witness to one of the most outspoken and wild post game interviews ever.

[The following isn't directed at all Jet fans. If you are able to read this message and comprehend it, you probably don't fall into the blanket statement.]

I was just pondering, in between classes, the exact ratio of mentally competent, sane Jet fans, versus those who utilize a football team as a creative outlet for misery and contempt. I'm thinking 50-1 is a solid ballpark hypothesis.

Following my article, Justine Henin has gone on to win the U.S. Open.  I am a bit biased of course, but I think she is proving herself to be the best number 1 player since Serena was on top of her game.

I read that the TV ratings for this year's final matches of the Open were down from last year, but what do you expect?  Roddick was not in the men's final this time and Sharapova has more universal appeal than Kuznetsova.  Without Americans, only real tennis fans will watch.  It is the same everywhere.  Many less Belgians would have cared without Henin being there.

 I found out today that Michigan lost again at home to a team they should have beat, at least on paper.  Living over here I am not reading local newspapers, but I must believe that everyone is calling for Coach Carr to be tarred-and-feathered right now.

These kids are 18-22 years old and probably need to mature.  Hart had 127 yards and Henne's game on paper was acceptable for a pre-Big Ten game.  The score, of course, says something different.

Pardon the intrusion, but I'm JDWC and I have my own thoughts on the topics covered on ESPN's Pardon the Interruption.

This was from 2006, but I just saw it for the first time.

It might have been the most embarrassing list ESPN has ever made. Many of the rivalries in the top 10 weren't even the best rivalry involving those teams.

10. Florida-Georgia
    
9. Lehigh-Lafayette
   
8. Grambling-Southern
   
7. Harvard-Yale
   
6. USC-Notre Dame
   
5. Texas-Oklahoma
   
4. Miami-Florida State
   
3. Army-Navy
   
2. Michigan-Ohio State
   
1. Alabama-Auburn

10. Florida-Georgia
    

Florida's biggest rival is Florida State; Georgia's is Auburn. How do neither of those get on this list while this one does? This one truly makes no sense.

9. Lehigh-Lafayette
Okay, they've played more than anyone else, but there are 50 better rivalries. This is just a "We're smarter than you" pick.

8. Grambling-Southern
I actually agree with this pick; go figure.

7. Harvard-Yale
This one is way too low.

6. USC-Notre Dame
This is more of a "2005 they played a great game" pick. Yes, it's a huge rivalry, but Notre Dame-Michigan is bigger and USC-UCLA is at least comparable.

5. Texas-Oklahoma
Yes, this should be here.

4. Miami-Florida State
What?!? This is the worst selection by far. Florida was Miami's biggest rival until the end of the 1980s and Miami has NEVER been the most important game to Florida State. NEVER! FSU fans would rather go 1-11 and beat Florida while Miami wins the title than go 6-6 and lose to Florida like Florida did last year. This is a joke. I don't get this one at all. Pure bullshit.

3. Army-Navy
How this is not #1 is beyond me.

2. Michigan-Ohio State
At least they had the balls not to put this or Army-Navy at #1.

1. Auburn-Alabama
Because this game has little impact outside of Alabama, we forget how great this rivalry truly is. Honestly, I have no objections to this being number, although I personally would have it #3.

Most might know Josh McRoberts as the stiff from Duke who probably should have declared for the draft after his freshman year and before the college basketball viewing public realized that he stunk.

However "Big Josh" should now be known for something else.  The man who let down the legions at Cameron Indoor with his lack of game on the court has shown some quality work off the court. Click on the link below and you will be just as surprised as I am.  This just proves my theory that if you are a professional athlete.........anything can happen for you.
