This weeks WTF moment and Week 9

There are actually two wtf moments for your disenjoyment this week. Rising QB prospect Chase Rettig stood out this weekend as a likely blue chip passer coming into his senior season, good news. He loved BC, better news, and he was also on the verge of committing, best news. Well that was until Lane Kiffin got on the phone and offered from Tennnessee. My guess would be that USC will get a committ from Scroggins (#2 QB prospect) and Kiffin wants Rettig (who could turn out to be better, seems the kid has all the skills, but is slacking in production. So we're still in the running but not really.

The second moment is really barely news but it wasn't too long ago that BC fans were dreaming of watching Boisture and and Shakim Phillips in the coming years. The #4 QB and #5 WR would create one hell of an offense, and it looks like they might still. . . and before you get to excited that would be because that potent offense will probably be at MSU, good for them. Phillips likes the WR tradition @ MSU and that is one thing we really just do not have @ BC. (only on WR played more than 2 seasons within the last 30 years of the NFL, Brian Brennan from 84-93)

Week 9
Who we play: Central Michigan
Who we should play:Penn State
Week 9 of the 09 season has us up against Central Michigan. This will actually be a pretty good game this year because the Chippewas QB LeFevour is this years Nate Davis, putting up 2800y in 10 games last season and rushing for another 500. Still Central Michigan isn't much of a prestigious program. As the last non conference game I had difficulty choosing this one. UConn and Syracuse came into mind but I dismissed them because the Pitt game is already against the Big East. I then decided it would be good to have a game either against a Big 10 team and or an SEC team and figured Big 10 made more sense because of the recruiting overlap. The choice even that choice comes down to Michigan, MSU or Penn State. MSU is really just there because I don't like them much right now. Michigan has that big time prestige (despite rebuilding) and also has a similar academic level. In the end though BC and Penn State have an old rivalry, have similar programs academically and skill wise. Playing Pitt and Penn State would also give a real boost to PA recruiting.

09 outcome: We probably couldn't match up this year. PSU won't be as good as last years Rose Bowl team but they have a pretty solid team.
07 Outcome: The 07 team could handily take care of this years Lions but the real question would be how the 07 team could handle the 08 Lion team. The average on Whatifsports was a PSU victory (all 10 sims) by less than a touchdown (ranging from 1pt to 10 pts).
