While we already have PLENTY of rankings of the top teams in the Valley from the Monitor, RGV Sports, (S)TD Dave, etc. the Bench Wire believes that EVERYONE needs their chance in the spotlight…even our comically terrible teams.
Only 1 more month left for High School football =( (i mean, c’mon guys, no one in the Valley will be playing passed mid-November)

Yeah, we had a Bye week last week..whatever.
Now that the MLB Pre-Season is over, we can finally get to REAL baseball. October Baseball. Because you can’t tell me that EVERY player gives 100% of their effort in EVERY one of their 80 billion games. This is why God created the baseball postseason; to give baseball a reason to exist in our lives. Have you ever met someone who legitimately said “Hey, let’s go to Buffs and watch the Rangers – Rays game.” No. Because those people are either sports writers or people who nobody hangs out with anyway. A part of it does come from the fact that, again a) there’s a shit ton of games played and b) there’s a shit ton of mediocre to terrible teams peppered around every where that makes the games un-watchable at times.

No real major upsets (Unless you count Utah’s stomping all over of Oregon an “upset”) this week in college football, which means we get to speculate EVEN MORE about the teams that haven’t exactly fallen flat on their face yet (TCU) and teams that should just sim to the next season (Texas).

Every year, we all wait in anticipation for that day that college football grants us the gift of an Alabama loss. For a fleeting moment, it’s like the ending scene of Return of the Jedi; the Death Star has exploded and with it the potential dream for the Crimson Tide to win a national title. Then you realize that there’s a playoff now and the cold snap of reality hits you hard enough to realize that Alabama is still very much in the national title mix having lost this early. *SIGH*

Well that didn’t take long. After just under 2 years on the job, Texas Athletic Director Steve Patterson was fired this morning, according to Mark Schlabach of ESPN.
It’s only week 2, so we’re not at that “judgement week” yet. Granted, a few upsets here and there are helping us shape out the college football landscape a little clearer.
