INTERIM IN FOOTBALL, MEANS EXACTLY THAT

Let's just start with the definition: in·ter·im  (ntr-m)n.An interval of time between one event, process, or period and another.adj.Belonging to, serving during, or taking place during an intermediate interval of time; temporary: an interim agreement. See Synonyms at temporary.

Temporary, discontinuity, hiccup and  intermission some synonyms that may help you digest the true meaning.  An interval of time between one event, process, or period and another.

Don't be disilutioned that the interm, will become your head coach.

I have recently gone through this misconception, passion and emotion were contagious and resulted in Wins!  Hard not to when you can see the direct result, see players engaged and fighting for someone they love.  However, the end result was loosing one of the best recruiters and a "Interim" HC that had players playing passionately.  Brought in former players immediately for prep talks, amrcus Allen and Ray Lewis and even cookies back in the John McKay Center.

Remember its a business, and not just in the NFL, High School, College and the Pros.

No matter that Kubiak inherited  the 2-14 Texans, took them to playoffs had a stroke during a game, after the loss in Jacksonville, was fired, to be replaced by Wade Phillips who stepped in earlier after Coach was recouping. He also had 0-4 record.

Jack del Rio, stepped up and in for Coach Fox, 3-1 for the Broncos, meriting a game ball, Coach is back, so even though he also was persued by USC's Pat Haden for HC with the Trojans, he's back to D-cord.

USC's Pat Haden did the same, but to an interim who brought back USC football to the locker room, on the field and in the fans, after a loss to home town rival UCLA was abruptly replaced by WU Steve Sarkasian someone who had a PAC 12 record (24-21)  vs the "interim" Coach O's (6-1) record after taking the reins.

However, the Trojans (9-4) will be playing Saturday in the Las Vegas Bowl with yet one more (temporary) interim HC where they meet the (11-1) Fresno Bulldogs.  The last time these two met were at the Coliseum in 2005 with Pete Carrol at the helm.  The result 50-42 USC.

The dominos effect trickling as a direct result leaves Boise and Washington interims.

Many misconceived ideas arise, especially when the emotion and the W's come.  But remind yourself with what it actually means.

BEST GAME OF THE WEEKEND??

THERE IS ALWAYS AN UPSET, AND UPSET IN THE HOME TEAM ( HIGHER SEEDED TEAM LOSES, JUST ONE, LAST WEEK IT WAS THE SKINS) 

TOSS UP F0R ME

OBVIOUSLY THE REMATCHES ARE ALLURING

PATS 42-14 WIN OVER THE TEXANS 12/10 (WK14)

or

DENVER AT BALTIMORE 34-17 WIN 12/16 (WK 15)

or

WEEK ONE;  PACKERS LOSS TO NINERS AT HOME   9/9/12 

TWO GAMES ARE FLIPPED, 

BRONCOS HOST RAVENS AT MILE HIGH

GREEN BAY GOES INTO SAN FRAN

AND THE SAME REMATCH JUST LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO

NEW ENGLAND HOSTING HOUSTON.

WEATHER DEF WILL BE A FACTOR, I HEARD A CRAZY STAT THAT PEYTON IS 0-3  IN PLAYOFF GAMES WHEN THE WEATHER IS 40 OR BELOW, FORECAST AT MILE HIGH 19-8 DEGREES.

MY PICKS:

AGAIN, ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE ONE UPSET AND WITH THAT NOTE HERE I GO. 

I'M STICKING WITH SEATTLE, PICKED EM LAST WEEK AND I LOVE WHAT PETE HAS DONE 

SO SEAHAWKS AT FALCONS, I THINK THAT DEFENSE CAN DO IT, ITS A FAR TREK AND LOTS OF MILES LAST FEW WEEKS FOR THIS TEAM, BUT THEY HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL AND THEY ARE YOUNG.

GOING WITH DENVER, AND THAT DEFENSE WINS THE GAME, THAT AND PEYTON

ILL TAKE NEW ENGLAND AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THEIR DEFENSE IS RANKED IN THE BOTTOM TIER, ON THE OTHER HAND WADE PHILLIPS DEFENSE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH ITS A MUST WIN FOR THE TEXANS DEFENSE. THEY WILL KEEP BRADY OFF & ON THE GROUND, BUT PATS SOMEHOW  FIND AWAY TO STOP ARIAN FOSTER, I THINK THIS GAME GOES TO THE LAST FEW MOMENTS, BUT BRADY AND GRON, OR WELKER  SOMEHOW MOVE THEM DOWN FOR GAME WINNING SCORE.  BELICHICK IS A BRILLIANT WIZARD.

ANOTHER TOUGH ONE, GB AT SF

ROOKIE QB, WAS TAKEN APART, DEFENSE IS A LIL BANGED UP, SMITH OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE.

SEATTLE OPENED UP THE KEYS TO BRING THEM DOWN, ALTHOUGH HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE I THINK THAT GB FINDS AWAY  TO WIN.

SO I GUESS IVE GOT 2 UPSETS,  MAY NEED TO RETHINK THIS...........

I STILL THINK SEATTLE MOVES ON, SO I MAY NEED TO STICK WITH NINERS ON THIS PICK, AS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH MY ANALOGY OF ONLY ONE TEAM UPSETS, OR COULD THAT BE POSSIBLE????
HMMMMMM...............
ALTHOUGH AGAINST MY GRAIN OR PHILOSOPHY, I JUST THINK THAT GREEN BAY DOES FIND A WAY TO WIN..DAMN IM ON THE FENCE, NEED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR.........CANT THROW OUT KAEPERNICK AND WHAT THIS KID CAN DO, YOUNG TEAM, HARBAUGH......I THINK I GOTTA GO WITH SF, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE CLOSE AND THEY WILL WIN IF THE ROOKIE CAN RISE TO THE PLAYOFFS AS HE IS BELIEVED TO

I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT.

Here's your injury report, too

NINERS OVER PACK

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? TURN AROUND.......

MORE TO THE STORY THAN MY LAUGHS

I'm sure you got as good a laugh as I did with ESPN's MNF montage of mic'd up video highlights.

I laughed every time and even more so on this particular part of the video.

Especially Houston Texan RB, Arian Foster's words to Jimmy Wilson, CB for the Miami Dolphins

"What's Ya Name?  Turn Around.......I Don't Know You Bro"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1bcnqEV7LI

Tonite, while watching my favorite show, "Inside The NFL" on SHOWTIME, compliments of the one and only NFL Films.  I got a little more to the story, as did everyone watching, they played against each other in high school, per sound bites also that Wilson had tried to strangle Foster in a pile during those years, I'm assuming 2002-03.

I honed in, 

I knew Arian played at Mission Bay HS and searched to find Jimmy at Pt Loma HS.  Not only did I find this out, but that Wilson had had other struggles too......

The vid clip is pretty funny, hits a connection to San Diego and has some history with a moral.  You never know............karma does come back, when you cross someone....it just might come and bite you in the ass.

My two cents......enjoy.
