Saturday Night Special

1. Wow. With Notre Dame losing 24-23 to a 2-8 Syracuse team, you have to wonder if the walls are closing in on Charlie Weis. We still think he gets another year, but if he loses something like 50-10 at USC next week, he may well get the boot. And a classy move by Orangemen (outgoing) coach Greg Robinson, who stopped his on-field interview and made his kids shut up while the Irish sang their school song.

2. Houston Nutt can flat out coach. Think Arkansas wouldn't take him back in a second? His Ole Miss Rebels put a beat down on Lester's LSU Tigers, 31-13. Lester's D had no idea how to stop Nutt's wide open attack.

3. We have always had total respect for the Boston College football program. (It's Loser Al Skinner's hoop program we openly mock.) Playing on the road at Wake Forest without senior QB Chris Crane, backup Dominique Davis scored with just over one minute to play to give the Eagles a 24-21 W.

4. OU and Texas Tech will get busy in just over 20 minutes from now. We are surprised at how many national peeps are picking OU. We know this: OU's defense (led by over-matched defensive coordinator Brent Venables) has given up some nasty numbers this year. How will they ever be able to shut down Tech's offense?!? Final score: Texas Tech 48 Oklahoma 35.

We love Coach Pete! Hell, before he moved west, his kid came to our B-ball camp. But failing to even win the Pac 10, he has nothing to bitch about. Not when OU, Texas, Alabama and Florida have played in superior cons. And no, Southern Cal beating Ohio State from the Crap Ten does not carry much weight.

Just imagine a playoff involving Your Trojans, Our Sooners, texASS, Bama, Florida, Penn State and two other schools (Boise? Utah?).

WOW!

God willing a playoff is all our new president can accomplish!

But let's be honest here, the sec is no better than the Pac 10, hell there "national champ" isn't even ranked, and the only team that came west of the missipi got there ass kicked by ucla! When they decide to play somone come talk to me.

And don't talk to me about not winning the conference that dosen't even matter ask OU!

I hope OSU wins out that way Coach Pete and The Boys can beat the hell out of a big 12 or sec team and shut them up!
