NCAA Football

So about 2 weeks ago I was made a very happy woman when football started back up. Needless to say, I'm in Austin, TX, home of the reigning national champions, which means that 95% of the city, if not more, is football MAD right now.

Anyone else out there a football junkie like me? Our loss to Ohio State last Saturday was depressing. I don't want to talk about it, and instead have buried my sorrows in bloody marys all week.

Just to give you an idea of the level of fanaticism in Austin - on Saturday before the Ohio State game, at synogogue we sang the last prayer to the tune of "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You." Too bad that even with a Rabbi's blessing, we couldn't pull through.

Hook 'em.

I was also very upset by your loss to Ohio State. I never would have thought that a Big Ten team would have to go down to Texas to show y'all how to play football.

GO BLUE!!!!!!

What can I say, Larry? Sometimes, you've just got to throw a dog a bone. x:P

I think this was the 'Horn's good deed of the year - at least that is the way I look at it so I can sleep at night.

Well, I was very pleased that "The" Ohio State won last Saturday. And let's make sure we use their correct name, Larry. My number one team, Syracuse almost pulled off a major upset over Iowa last weekend. Considering they won only 1 game last year, they did quite well.

So, Ray -- You thought you'd get me going on the Hillary Clinton thread and, failing that, you've resorted to dissing the Horns?? The ice is pretty thin out there in the middle of the pond where you're skating.

Yep, the ole Buckeyes clipped them there horns. They've been emasculated.

How exactly does a Buckeye do that to "them there horns?" (nice use of grammar by the way - is that a rural New York thing? x;-) )

Did nuts suddenly grow opposable thumbs? Where have I been? While Buckeyes are certainly a mascot destined to strike fear into all that cross its path, just remember that the buckeyes may have won last week, but last year, we crushed their nuts.

Enough said.

Wow.. I can't believe I am reading that... Thats the most beautiful thing I have ever read.

Maybe she likes golf, too.

Anyone else out there constantly amazed at how easily men are amused?

Curious...

Well, the 'Horns beat up on the Owls, I see. They must be feeling pretty good now, Owls are such big strong birds afterall.

Here in Oregon the Ducks rallied in the fourth quarter, down by 13, and blocked a final field goal to win what is being described as "the greatest comeback in U of O history".

Go Ducks!

Ray,
Even though I'm an MSU grad (go Green), I'm sure you are as puzzled as I am about the recent polls: #11 Michigan beats the living snot out of #2 Notre Dame, looks extremly impressive all the while, and only moves to the #6 ranking, while #6 Auburn barely beats #7 LSU (scoring a whopping 7 points) and moves into the #2 slot.??? Can someone help me understand that logic???

ray a

Logic doesn't have anything to do with it. Politics.

Yes, Michigan was impressive in their win over ND.
