Never thought I’d find myself rooting on the Cornhuskers, but there I was cheering every QB sack and Zac Taylor pass. And, man, there were a lot of both. I never thought Nebraska would embarrass Colorado quite like that. It was total domination. OK, ‘Clones, the door is now open, all you have to do […]

Did you see Ron Dayne in action with Denver yesterday? Seven carries for 98 yards and a TD, plus a 55-yard burst that set up the game winning field goal in overtime. Sweet! I’m sure Tatum Bell will be back in the lineup Dec. 4 when the Broncos travel to Kansas City, but it was […]

Just a quick note to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I just love this holiday, an all day food and football feast. Second only to Christmas in my book. Despite everything, I am still thankful for the Green Bay Packers and I know they will rebound Sunday against Philly. Hope your holiday is a good […]

Still recovering from last night so my thoughts are still pretty random. But 21 yards rushing, how is that even possible? I predict by the end of the season coach Sherman will finally figure out that Will Whitticker is not a pulling guard and we can’t run those counter runs anymore. It seems like the […]

Despicable, dreadful, disastrous, you take your pick and that was Monday night at Lambeau Field. For the second time this season the mighty Packers fell to the hated Vikings by a last second field goal. And like their previous meeting, success in the first half turned into despair in the second. More tomorrow.

The ISU men’s basketball team faced a tough opponent in Mountain State to open the regular season, but the Cyclones answered the bell with a 101-82 victory at Hilton Coliseum last night. Curtis Stinson led the team with 35 points while Jiri Hubalek had 10 boards. The top ranked team in the NAIA, the Cougars […]

Congrats to JoePa and the Nittany Lions for winning the Big 10 title and a BCS bid. Obviously, it would have been better to see coach Alvarez get another conference championship in his last season, but things don’t always turn out the way they should (see also: Green Bay’s season). So, Penn State will likely […]

Missouri lost yesterday to Kansas State in a 36-28 stunner, opening the door for Iowa State to win the Big 12 North Division title. The Tigers’ loss takes them out of the running, leaving the Cyclones and Colorado vying for the top spot. The Buffalo’s are 5-2 in conference play, including their loss last week […]

No Packers game to watch today, whatever will I do with myself? Help out with the laundry? Do some grocery shopping? Cuddle with the Missus on the couch? Heck, no, not with some great action happening around the league today.
The spotlight game has to be Colts at Bengals. Indianapolis is 9-0 and looking to win […]

The Badgers men’s basketball team advanced to 2-0 in regular season play with a 95-89 win over Eastern Kentucky in double overtime. Alando Tucker scored 38 points in the game, including a breakaway dunk off a steal near the end of the second overtime that put Wisconsin up for good. Kammron Taylor made a three-pointer […]
