The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:I cant quit you baby So Im gonna put you down for awhile I said I cant quit you baby I guess I gotta put you down for awhile Said you messed up my happy home Made me mistreat my only child Yes sir you did!-- I Cant Quit You Baby, Led ZeppelinIts no secret that this season, we here at Bottom 10 HQ, located in an old Winnebago parked behind the humidor where Tom Rinaldi keeps his neckties, have been embroiled in a bit of a spat with UMass football fans. Yes, they exist. And yes, they have been angrier at me than Tom Brady when his bottle of hair mousse runs dry.Yes, I was watching back in Week 1 when the Minutemen hung with Florida in The Swamp. Yes, I was watching Saturday when they hung with Mississippi State in Foxborough, or Foxboro, or however you spell it. But yes, I was also watching when they were stomped by Boston College. And yes, I was also watching when they wrestled with FI(not A)U for their lone win of the season.Within minutes of the loss to Mississippi State, the stream of angry emails and tweets from the commonwealth had already started. My measured response was to rank them again, just to throw a rotten onion into their DAngelos order. But then I heard from Alex Sterzin, who asked politely, Did my beloved UMass (it is an unhealthy and abusive relationship to be fair) do enough to get out of the bottom 10? I responded that I didnt know and that I was struggling with what to do but that I appreciated his loyalty. And I did. I still do. Then he responded with a comment that crystallizes the Bottom 10 experience.?You see, the Bottom 10 isnt merely a list. Its a mindset. Its an obsession. Its an academic exercise. Like watching a group of people through two-way glass as they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. Which side of the glass are the Minutemen on this week? Load your muskets and read ahead.With apologies to King Leonidas and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. FI(not A)U (0-4) Its rare to see a team play in two Pillow Fights of the Week of the Year in the first five weeks of the season, but thats what will happen when FI(not A)U hosts FA(not I)U this weekend in the Shula Bowl, aka Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year IV (PFOWY4). Then again, its also rare to see a team fire its head coach four weeks into the season, as the Golden Panthers did on Sunday. So, if anyone ever asks you what FIU and LSU have in common, theres your answer. Oh, and humidity.2. Rice (0-4) Rice blew a 17-0 lead and lost in a double-overtime thriller to North Texas Forty. The Owls and North Texas Forty have put the rest of the Bottom 10 on notice. Their game on Saturday wasnt merely the Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year 3 (PFOWY3). It might very well have been Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year of the Year thus far this year.3. NI ... Whew (0-4) Losing a tough one to Wyoming in the opener? Thats cool. Losing on the road to South Florida? Totally understandable. Losing to San Diego State at home? OK, thats kinda weird. Losing to Western Illinois at home? Welcome to the Bottom 10!4. Arkansas State (0-4) Losing to Toledo in the opener? No sweat. Losing to Auburn on The Plains? Hey, even LSU did that. Losing to Utah State on the road? Hey, even Boise State has done that. Losing to Central Arkansas to give the Bears their first-ever win over an FBS school? Welcome to the Bottom 10!5. Notre Dame (1-3) Losing to Texas on the road? No shame in that. Losing a heartbreaker to Michigan State? Hey, welcome to the club. Losing to a 1-2 Duke team with no quarterback in the House that Knute Rockne Built? Welcome to the Coveted Fifth Spot!6. Charlotte 1-and-3ers (1-3) Losing to Louisville by 56? Hey, who hasnt? Am I right, Florida State? Beating Elon? Great effort. Getting housed by Eastern Michigan? Well, um ... losing to Temple by four touchdowns? OK, I have to stop this repetitive premise thing. This is starting to feel like Im stuck in one of those Saw movies.7. San José State?(1-3) It takes a special effort to get ones self onto this list and to get Iowa State off this list all at once.8. State of Kent (1-3) Nick Saban defeating Kent State 48-0 was the worst treatment of ones alma mater since a group of Alabama boosters walked into a conference room and said, We should hire Mike Price.9. Bowling Green (1-3) The Falcons started the season losing 77-10 to Ohio State and just lost 77-3 to Memphis. Surgeon generals warning: Giving up 77 more than once can lead to one ordering 7 and 7s more than once.10. New Mexico State?(1-3) Its always tough to lose. Its always tough to lose your Sun Belt conference opener. But a loss for a program like New Mexico State always stings a little more when its against a classic regional rival like Troy.Waiting list: FA(not I)U (1-3), My-Hammy of Ohio (0-4), Georgia State Not Southern (0-3), Huh-why-yuh (1-2), North Texas Forty (1-2), Kansas Nayhawks (1-2), USC (1-3), I-ow!-A State (1-3), Virginiugh (1-3), incorrect targeting calls, people who always whine about targeting calls even when theyre right Joe Thuney Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. Steve Grogan Jersey ., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., took sixth spot on Saturday in pairs at the NHK Trophy ISU Grand Prix figure skating competition. http://www.patriotsauthenticshop.com/Patriots-Danny-Etling-Draft-Jersey/ . Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. David Andrews Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Tedy Bruschi Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. GOTHENBURG, Sweden -- Team Sweden defenseman Anton Stralman?said hes feeling better after spending the offseason rehabbing and strengthening his broken left leg.The 30-year-old blueliner for the Tampa Bay Lightning broke the leg on March 25.I feel good, Stralman said after Tuesdays practice in preparation for the World Cup of Hockey. I was a little bit worried there starting preseason not knowing how it was going to react, or if it was going to limit me on any exercises or anything like that but it went well. It answered well to everything I threw at it, so its been a good preseason. Obviously, I was a little bit behind strength-wise with my legs, so Ill try to work that out and get back in good shape.Stralman missed the majority of the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring because of the injury, but he was able to return for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.dddddddddddd Playing at an intense level to begin the season with the World Cup of Hockey should help him prepare for the NHL season.Absolutely, he said. I was happy with how it responded and it feels good out on the ice too. Its just a matter of getting into game shape and the speed that you need.Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg has been using different defensive pairings during the first two practices, but its likely Stralman will be paired with teammate and regular-season partner Victor Hedman.
