Man I Hate My Life: Week Recap

Long week? We've all been there, but as bad as things seem here are a few people who have had worse weeks than any of us. It's the top 4 (not top 3 or top 5...but top 4. Deal with it)


4. Rich Rodriguez- The week started with RichRod's kids getting harassed at school in West Virginia then ended with him finding out that he was losing Ryan Mallet (better hope he gets Tyrell Pryor now) to another school and star wide recievers Adrian Arrington and Mario Manningham to the NFL. With nearly 100% of the offensive production gone, its going to be an interesting year at Michigan next year.


3. Hawaii- It really been a bad 10 day for the Rainbow Warriors (a name that strikes fear into the hearts of opponents). The new year started in New Orleans where the warriors got washed away (too soon?) by the Georgia atack en route to the 41-10 loss. Days later, Head Coach June Jones, who brought Hawaii from a winless season to the BCS in 9 years, resigned and headed for the mainland. Jones departure led to the firing of AD Herman Frazier, and now a program that was politicking for a national championship two weeks ago is in turmoil.

2. Bowling Green- you make a Bowl Game things are looking up for your program...then you run into Paul Smith and the Tulsa offense. Bowling Green's loss in the GMAC bowl was a historic one. Their 56 point loss was the worst in bowl history. How convincing was the win for Tulsa? Roy Roberts hit on Antonio Smith basically sums of the night for the Falcon faithful:



1. Jim Tressell and Ohio State- Jim Tressell and the Buckeyes have been through a lot of highs and lows in the past 12 months. After the highs of beating such powers as Youngstown State and Akron and the low of a loss to Illinois, Ohio State found itself the default participant in the national championship without playing a game in two weeks. For the second year in a row Tressell's team looked overmatched against the SEC Champion en route to a convincing loss. The back-to-back national title losses may have set back an average Big Ten champion for years the way Hawaii surely did for non-BCS teams.
Now it is up to USC to quickly put Ohio States 2008 title hopes to rest with a convincing victory in the Collesium during week two to spare the entire country another Ohio State title game meltdown.
