it ain't no lie...baby, bye bye bye (week).
Okay, so I'm depressed. Stuck with a bye week. Resigned to the reality that one of my two least favorite teams will win in Eugene (and subsequently move up in the BCS). Plus there's poor Nebraska no doubt getting the hell beat out of it for the third week in a row. But there is hope...perhaps Penn State can knock some sense into the Buckeyes.
Picking Kansas over A&M in spite of the fact that it's nearly impossible to win at College Station and Kansas's weaknesses hurt them against the Aggies. But I like Mangino (and there's certainly a lot to like, if you know what I mean).
Picked Oregon over USC (due to Autzen, mostly), Florida over Georgia, Ohio State over Penn State (though hoping for the upset), and can't decide on Arizona State v. Cal.
In other news, kid #1 went to his very first fun-run today and finished the mile in 11:30. Which is not so bad considering he's only 8, he's related to me, and he was hampered by an Optimus Prime costume. Mom accompanied dressed as Darth Vader.
Anyhow, thought I'd better stop by the Guard lest I offend Y again with my extended absence.
I've heard y'all ended up with a bye this week as well, so I trust you'll all join me later today in rooting for the Nittany Lions.
Thanks much.
