Me On The Radio - CFB Weekly

Posted by mobile phone:
Hey guys when you get the chance head over to CFBWeekly.com to hear me on this week’s podcast talking about our beloved Noles.

In my defense… I was on the air before the Ponder decision came down. Just keep that in mind.

Open Thread For Gameday: Western Carolina

Due to a family emergency I won’t be attending this weekend’s game.  Feel free to comment about about the game, tailgate, etc in this thread while I’m away. I’ll check in on the site while I’m mobile.  No pictures this week unless someone else provides them.

Go Noles >>>—-|>

Bum shoulder or not, Christian Ponder is the starting QB for the 2008 FSU Seminoles. Ponder, a redshirt sophomore, will lead FSU instead of Senior Drew Weatherford or fellow redshirt sophomore D’vontrey Richardson.

To D’vo: Your time is coming my friend. Whether it’s at FSU or elsewhere, depending on how Christian Ponder does.

To Ponder: Just do your best. Take care of your shoulder, and lead the team. The ACC is wide open this year.

To Drew Weatherford: Drew, I’m one of the few fans that thought you deserved one last shot. I still think you’re going to get in there and play, but if you don’t I know you have the character to handle this news. Throughout your career at FSU, you’ve been thrown in and out of starting QB, spent a lot of time on your backside and cheered on guys that didn’t give you the same effort they gave Xavier Lee.  I hope you do well with the playing time you get this year, and I hope you continue to be the great teammate that everyone says you are. Regardless of stats, #11 will always be one of my favorite QBs.

Thoughts? Comments? I know the readers want to speak up, let’s hear it. Is Ponder the right choice? How much time will D’vo see? Will Weatherford play?

Two Exciting Announcements

No… it’s not about the starting QB yet.

1. The Week 1 Blogpoll is out for your perusing. 

2. If you’d like to read ScalpEm.com or post comments from your mobile phone, you no longer need an HTML browser to do so. The all new redesigned ScalpEm.mobi (it auto detects your phone, so if you go on your PC it will just load ScalpEm.com) has been launched. Let me know if it’s working, and if there are any bugs, etc. that I might be able to fix.

Are You Going To The Western Carolina Game?

Since nobody weighed in really, here’s the final tally for my 2nd blogpoll ballot. I dropped everyone that lost, plus Florida State, since FSU didn’t play, and they only got the “Duke” vote from me to start the season. Southern Cal looks fantastic, and they have what looks to be a dominant defense, so they jump up to #1. I still think Florida will beat Georgia, but until that settles itself out those two won’t move. Mizzou won a tough game, they get the nod over Oklahoma for now. Alabama looked intense, and played very good defense too. Defense wins games, so I put them at #15 to start. Everyone just basically moves up due to the dropouts.

Site Upgrade

Hey everyone, I upgraded the backend of things… let me know if any of the updates have caused problems with the site. Everything seems okay to me.

Dropped Out: Clemson (#7), Virginia Tech (#13), Illinois (#17), Tennessee (#19), Florida State (#25).

I made a decision, if you lost Week 1, you’re out. This is résumé based, right? Well if you lost, you don’t have the best résumé, do you? Clemson looked awful, Virginia Tech looked awful. Illinois hung in there against Mizzou, but hey, they lost. Tennessee should stop scheduling west coast games immediately, and FSU hasn’t played yet. The top half of the poll didn’t change much.

Leave me comments today and let me know what I need to fix for tomorrow’s final submission
