Dear SEC,



NOW YOU KNOW.

Sincerely,
The Pac-10

We are dubbing the 2008 college football season the Year of the Polynesian. It seemed every time we turned on the T.V., there would be a shock of frizzy black hair streaming from out underneath a helmet comet-like and which would be attached to a defender blowing up a quarterback or a wide receiver. This was punctuated in the past two days as USC linebacker Rey Maualuga wreaked havoc on the Penn St. offense in the Rose Bowl and Utah’s Koa Misi and the rest of his mates had seemingly taken up residence in Alabama’s backfield in the Utes' stunning 31-17 rout of the Tide in the Sugar Bowl and which now makes the Mountain West 2-1 in BCS bowl games and which also caps a great year for this non-BCS conference.

Rudy Carpenter, the Arizona St. QB will be having nightmares of Maualuga for years to come. Rey-Rey packed an entire career’s worth of big hits into the 3rd quarters of the last two USC-ASU match ups, all at Carpenter's expense. We saw this year’s game in person at the Coliseum and we cannot ever recall a single defender dominate for entire quarter the way Maualuga did. He unloaded at least 3 vicious hits on Carpenter in that quarter alone and on the last which knocked Carpenter out of the ball game, Rey stood over Carpenter not in gloating but mercy as Rey realized he about broke poor Rudy in two.

So here’s some footage of Mongo’s namesake doin’ his thing. See you on Sundays, Rey.

You get the feeling that, once he gets over his camera and interview shyness, he could be a pretty good studio analyst once his playing career is over.

Having been forced to watch some of the NFL studio analysts over the past few days (during Fox's inexplicable coverage of the BCS bowls), the NFL folks can use all the help they can get from somebody who can enunciate words with two syllables or more.
