NCAA Island Report

[Uuaww]

I have taken it upon myself to give the NDL a little flavor every week and write a few segments about important matters at hand. Here is what to expect!

My personal pick for GAMES OF THE WEEK!
-This will unlikely the best match-up but instead will be games that I feel will give a great game and storyline. If I am feeling rather saucy I might do 2 or 3 games.

GAME OF THE WEAK!
-May not be the worst two teams playing but I guarantee it will feature owners I personally do not enjoy... dolemite will be a regular.

INTERCEPTION CHALLENGE!
-Which QB will be the last to throw an interception? Who will win this coveted badge? I will blatently use my powers and authority in this contest if the coaches at hand refuse to pass the ball.

BOTTOM 10!
-Similar to ESPN's Bottom 10, the 5 spot will be reserved for weekly acts of suck-itude.

FLAVORFUL 8!
-A combination of teams who play some tasty games and record shows it.

WEEKLY RANT!
-Usually will be directed at a specific owner.

ISLAND FEVER!
-This is where I will include useless stats I find, trends, gossip or anything else that might come to my attention when I get really REALLY bored.


What do I need from the NDL owners? I need someone to help me make it look professional. If someone can create me some banners of those bold topic I have above. I would prefer Island Fever be something flashy and different from the rest. If possible I would like a small badge with the words INT Challenge Winner! and if possible a silhouette of the island of St. Croix in the background of it. Oh and since I will be doing a lot of this at work during my hours of downtime... If they could be hosted on a website such as comcast or a personal website that isn't blocked for me, that'd be awesome.

PRESEASON EDITION!

GAMES OF THE WEEK
NDL Cup Round 1 Matchups:
1. Oregon vs. Notre Dame-
Oregon was the cream of the crop in the NDL Draft and Ice decided to make them his wife. I don't know if it was the beautiful yellow unis or the never clashing combination of yellow and green (fact, which can be combined to create a kinda brown color) but he made them his own. He takes his new team against another top quality team (kinda) in Notre Dame. Notre Dame is lead by Texasfan and his plethora of 4s. The first 4443 Texas fans couldn't hack it in the NDL, but this one can and He is looking to make Ice suffer. Due to the fact that EA loves Notre Dame and will likely get help from the EA gods in this game, I am predicting a swift defeat of Oregon.
Final Score: Notre Dame 24 Oregon 16

2.Nevada vs. Michigan State
Does it get any better than this? A team that can run the ball against a defense that can't defend the run? Michigan State is likely to have problems this season due to a lack of quality players and as a reward they go up against a veteran Nevada team that is likely to Pistol-whip them. Weasel leads Michigan State into battle without many of there star players of yester-year... and news flash, they didn't do to well with them anyways. Nevada on the other hand is lead by the very talented Texan with a boyish charm named BillRoy. The only problem is that his defense can be abit shady as well (legal brothels only 15 miles from campus!) This shoot-out is likely to come down to a Pistol vs Shotgun shootout, and unlike real life, we are in video game world where the Pistol wins (a la Halo 1 style where the pistol pwned).
Final Score: Nevada 45 Michigan State 28

GAME OF THE WEAK
Duke vs Syracuse
This is why the BCS needs to change. This is considered a BCS vs BCS match-up and we all know that it features two teams that are BCS only in name. What the BCS needs to do is adopt a relegation system like European soccer! Punish teams that suck by sending them to the Sun Belt. Duke, you've had enough chances, quit trying and go play Troy for a few years until you can hang wit hthe big boys. Another perk of this is any school that has repeated violations, relegate them. Alabama should be squaring off vs UL-Pick em after the crap they pulled. Reward teams like Utah by sending them to the Pac 10 for a year.
Final Score: Duke 18 Syracuse 10

INTERCEPTION CHALLENGE PREVIEW
I don't know the names of the QBs so bare with me here but Georgia Tech's QB should be a strong favorite to win this unless I disqualify him for lack of attempts. Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour should tear up the MAC, but the sheer volume of passes he will attempt will be tough to overcome.
Prediction: Tebow picked off in first game, eliminated; Jake Locker of Washington takes the crown in week 7

Bottom 10
A Tribute to Michael Jackson
10. Boston College- "Remember the Time": Remember when you had Matt Ryan and were competitive in the ACC? Those days are long gone, you are in for a long season.
9. Western Kentucky- "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin": You are still a D-1AA team in many eyes, and this season is not gonna be a kind start to your D-1A career.
8. Idaho- "Billie Jean": I Da Hoe, Billie Jean sure was, didn't even know who her baby daddy was. Idaho is in a world of hurt this season, they suck. But at least they are in the WAC.
7. Army- "Black or White": The Black Knights have been at the bottom of the Barrel for years now, maybe they should think changing their name to the White Knights to look more nobel and less evil.
6. Eastern Michigan- "Another Part of Me": Eastern Michigan is part of the trio of Michigan teams but are by far the worst. The other parts of them are respectable, they aren't.
5. Dolemite- "In the Closet": It's time to come out buddy. Can you beleive this guy didn't think we had internet in the Caribbean!
4. San Jose State- "Beat It": I have heard rumors about porn with this owner, I am not going to get into it, but his team can't be much better, he might have to beat it to feel better after some of the losses he is gonna take.
3. North Texas- "ABC": This team needs to just get back to basics when they used to win the Sun Belt with ease.
2. Wyoming- "You Can't Win": You just can't win Wyoming, no logical recruit will come to Wyoming and without quality players, you are looking at a long one.
1. Utah State- "Bad": This team is so bad that no one wants them! they don't even have an owner yet and whoever takes them is going to be beat across the woodshed.

FLAVORFUL 8
Since the season hasn't started yet, I am going the other route.

8. Buffalo- I'm sure a bull is tough, but it's still beef, and deserves a place on this list...
7. Florida- Gator may be an aquired taste, but it is still good as a change of pace every now and then.
6. Marshall- Thundering Herd can create another tasty dish. Solid on this list.
5. Colorado- Buffalo, makes a great steak and lean burger. Delicious if you want to go a bit healthy.
4. Virginia Tech- Hokies are delicious turkeys, deep fried and golden, can't be beat.
3. Texas- Oh the long horns, another quality meat, A good rib-eye on the BBQ is just what the doctor ordered.
2. Arkansas- The only pork related mascot in college football, and incidently, the best meat. I take it it is probably a little tough, but still delicious.
1. UAB- Because everything just tastes better when you are a blazer.

WEEKLY RANT
See Game of the Weak above and why Europeans have it right with relegation.

Thanks guys, if anyone has any advice or topics they want me to discuss. lmk. and still looking for a banner creator.

[texasfan4444]

LOL That was awesome thanks man for taking the time to do this.

BTW. You may want to rethink that ND vs Oregon pick or at least not make it your first official pick if you want to maintain any credibility around here.

[Uuaww]

no way man. my picks are my picks, they will get better as time goes on... but im like Page 2 on ESPN. more of an entertainment than facts.

[Weasel]

Great write up Uaww, very entertaining read. Turns out the MSU Nevada cup game had 13 combined points, so much for a shootout

[Whit]

Awesome read bro!

plus conference commishes have to be inpartial and willing to listen to problems. I on the other hand plan on writing my articles with extreme bias and prejudice.

One spot for your team and playing ability, the other is for your character as a human being.
