This Nebraska fan (right), who looks a lot like not- quite Conrhusker alum Tommy Lee, would give us the heebie-jeebies if not for the completely unscary foam finger. Commercial of the Week The Chevy Tahoe ad with John Mellencamp: I do believe there is a dream for everyone. This is our country. If you didn't find yourself singing that song at least once over the weekend, you're either not a good American or you don't watch enough TV. The Come Again? Award Bill Callahan: We know that Nebraska's offense is confusing, but a feature with QB Zac Taylor during Saturday's matchup with Texas was almost comical. Taylor is responsible for about 10 different formations on top of the dozens of play calls he's expected to know. His explanation of them left us with a Grade A headache. We still aren't sure if Callahan is a genius for having so many offensive options at his fingertips or an idiot for trying to cram way too much information down his team's throat. Nebraska is currently ranked 11th in the nation, averaging 35 points per game, so maybe he's a genius after all. Bizarro Conference of the Week (and season) The ACC: We're eight weeks into the season, and it seems as if 10 of the 12 teams are in the running for first place in the conference's two divisions (sorry, North Carolina and Duke, but basketball season starts in another few weeks). Even FSU, which has looked miserable all season, could make a late run with wins over Maryland, Wake, Virginia and Western Michigan. (No way they're beating the Gators in the season finale). Quote of the Week "The guy clearly isn't Chris Simms." Quote of the Week II "Hang in there friends. Our day will come once this dumb, incompetent, stubborn, clueless 'leader' is gone." Embarrassing Photo of the Day
We know that Notre Dame players were excited about the team's last minute win over UCLA but there is simply no excuse for this photo (left) of the players, arm in arm, singing the alma mater together. Whatever points Brady Quinn earned with his gutty performance were lost with this awkward photo. Bad Fashion Choice of the Week FSU's blackout: It probably sounded like a good idea at first, but with the team 2-3 and struggling, are the Seminoles really in a position for gimmicks? Worst Game (That Nobody Saw) of the Week Ohio State-Indiana: While we're not going to pretend that the Buckeyes 44-3 drubbing of Indiana was must-see TV, but the No. 1 team in the nation should be on national television. Period. Instead, they were forced to ESPNU, a network seen by about 16 households in America. Tattle Tale of the Week Florida: We have no concrete evidence that the Gators tattled on Auburn, but we do know that an SEC team lodged a complaint with conference officials about the Tigers playing loud music between plays. The SEC says the music violates a rule against "institutionally-controlled computerized sound systems." Auburn played clips of the Survivor's Eye of the Tiger and Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train to fire up the team, particularly during the Florida game. The SEC rule states: "The use of institutionally-controlled computerized sound systems, including music, and institutionally-controlled artificial noisemakers shall be restricted to pre-game, halftime, post-game, after a score, and team or media timeouts."
