A$$ Whooping of the Week (Week 5)

It's time to begin our recap of the week that was in football with the A$$ Whooping for the 5th week of the college football season.  Despite strong performances from most of the top-5, Jock Talk didn't witness a single performance worthy of our exalted A$$ Whooping post.  Instead we will use this space to honor the season of futility put forth by one of Jock Talk's most loyal readers and listeners.  To avoid any sort of legal privacy action he shall remain nameless, but you may recognize him.

So far, his 2010 season has been about as successful as football in New Mexico.  Following a strong finish to the 2009 campaign, he arrived on campus this fall in much better shape and executing with pristine precision.  On campus, expectations grew and some expected this would the season he made the leap and joined his higher ranked rivals.  Unfortunately for our lonely hero, as the calendar hits October his season has been uninspiring to say the least.  In the opening weeks of the season, he was outsmarted by a much older coach leading to an embarrassing loss to a much less talented team.  Following his dismal performance, he used multiple bye weeks to apparently regain his form.  On campus, talk renewed that he would finally "pull the trigger" and upset one of the more talented teams of the opposing division.  But alas, the long period of "bro-time" actually appeared to hurt his performance coming out the bye week.  In back to back games he took big leads in the first half before pulling the wrong trigger and being shutout in the final period of both games.  While the schedule still holds rematches against both teams, he may be the last winless team in his conference before those games arrive.

Honorable mention:  Les Miles' clock management and overall coaching ability, New York Giants defense against Chicago Quarterbacks.
