Friday
Oferchrissakes...Friday night, what a fright! The old USF Bulls showed up in Cincinatti, and since old Cincinatti graduated last year, not only did the Bearcats fail tocover but they got whupped straight up. Man, these guys from USF are positively schizophrenic. 2 Star LOSER.
Saturday
The Huskies of NIU did just what we thought they'd do: 33-7 over Central Michigan. 4 Star WINNER!
Yar, maties! The Pirates of East Carolina deconstructed Marshall, 37-10, a comfortable cover (-12 1/2) and a 3 Star WINNER!
Tennessee was no match for Alabama. Nick Saban put the #2 QB in the game early in Q4, and the lad proceeded to take the team in for one more score and blow our under. 1Star LOSER.

| Hermes was a busy guy. He was god of flocks, road, eloquence, trading, thieves, commerce, mercantiles, gambling, profit, hazard, gaming, athletes and is given credit for inventing boxing and racing. I think he would also make a pretty damn good horn ornament for my Stutz Bearcat, if I had one. |
I planned my Saturday around the Michigan State @ Northwestern game, and that had a really sucky conclusion, as the 'Cats outplayed the #7 Spartans for most of the game, only to have two plays make all the difference in the world. In the first half, NU fumbled at the goal line to spit back 7 points. In the second half, NU went for a fake MSU punt, hook line and sinker. Next play, TD MSU. Then a makes no diff TD at the end killed the cover.
Great game: Wisconsin 31, Iowa 30. Two really good teams and a really good game.
The Sooners became the third consecutive #1 team to step off the ledge as they fell to Missouri. The Ducks sit alone at the pinnacle now. For this week, anyway.
Beware of Auburn!
