Intro to HOMER-VILLE

I love Sports, I love Sports, I love Sports, and I LOVE the HAWKEYES..What can I say...always have, and always will....Dad actually used to say to me, "If you would spend as much time studying your school work as you do the Hawks and Sports...who knows?"

He was/is, probably right, so I have decided to combine my passion for sports, and give the Naples version of From the Bench a sibling.  People are going to agree, disagree, banter, talk smack, etc. but I do have ONE IMPORTANT RULE...No hate...you hate towards another HOMER and you are done...There is no place for it here, and I cannot stand it...We can be civil and talk sports in such away.

I am going to share my suggestions for Sports Books, Movies, Articles...Provide commentary on popular sports info etc.  How often am I going to post...No Clue....but this should be fun....

So here we go.....

KASPAREK COLLEGE FOOTBALL POLL from 11/4/2013(with some corrections)

1-BAMA-Will steamroll LSU this weekend, sorry Jimmy Angerman....and they will not face a REAL test till last game of regular season at Auburn.
2-UO(corrected for the Blog Chris Denison, Kori Sickles and Dane Adams)-Will not lose in Palo Alto to Stanford, but may to Arizona two weeks later in Tucson.
3-FSU-is on fire, and so is Renee Rhinehart about this team. No real test for them either until last week of Season against Florida in the Swamp.
4-OSU-Big Ten is week(crying as I type it), but all this winning could be for naught as they will enter last game of regular season in Ann Arbor undefeated, and the Wolverines will have nothing to lose.
5-Baylor-Will roll over the Sooners this Thursday night, and remain undefeated for a few more weeks before losing to Ok State in Stillwater.

6-Stanford-for one more week...Then they will fall after they lose to Oregon.

7-Missouri

8-Miami-bad loss to a GREAT team, and cannot drop them below Clemson.
9-Clemson
10-Oklahoma-for one more week and then they will drop after there loss to Oklahoma.

11-Auburn(which could see a big jump next week if they take care of business at TN, because then they have the most to gain with Georgia and Alabama coming to town back to back.
12-Texas A&M-Not ready to put this in Permanent Marker yet (What? To soon?)
13-LSU-will drop next week after a blow out loss to Alabama.
14-South Carolina
15-Fresno State(Still undefeated and will remain so until they lose to San Jose State their last game of the regular season.)

16-Northern Illinois(will remain undefeated until their last game of the regular season @ Toledo)
17-Oklahoma State who has a TON to gain with there final three games being @ Texas, and at home against Baylor(to give them their first loss) and Oklahoma.
18-Central Florida-Should be higher than most are putting them, simply because they beat Louisville at Louisville.
19-Michigan State- Big Ten may be bad, but they continue to produce.
20-Louisville-because I can drop a team below a team that beat them head to head. 

21-Wisconsin-They continue to get it done, will not lose another game this season and their only two loses are to Ohio State and Arizona State, who enters my poll for the first time this week.
22-Arizona State-brutal schedule the rest of the way.
23-Notre Dame-squeaked by Navy and they are squeaking in to my Top 25.
24-Ole Miss-Their losses are @ Auburn, @ Alabama, and at home against Texas A&M as opposed to Georgia, BYU, Oregon State, Virginia Tech, and Houston, all of which have BAD losses. It was the lesser of evils.

25. Texas Tech-Loss to Oklahoma State is not to bad...
