Dang right the West has some rivalries, Martyb. The PAC 10 looks pretty good this year. I'll try to avoid betting on USC this week because ND has covered every game but BC.

What was I thinking when I bet on Rutgers to cover 29? Sorry, violin, but the wounded ameobas REALLY suck. I told my very good Rutgers Alum friend the same thing this morning. Peeeee-yew.

Florida/Florida State has certainly lost some of its accustomed lustre this year. It should still be a fierce game between two mediocre teams.

Rumor is running rampent in Wolfpack country that the Gator bowl has selected NC State to play in their New Year's Day game. I know its not the Fiesta Bowl, but for a team whose likely conference finish will be 4th place its pretty good. Of Maryland and UVA are gonna be pissing hot nuggets if this is true, since both teams beat us.

When are you gonna stop lying, arc? No Rutgers grad would have you as a friend. 8Ž

Actually, the Wounded Amoebas made it a game for the first half. Everything fell apart in 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter. They were playing for a bowl bid and we were just looking for a little respectability.

UNM Lobos must beat Wyoming this week to get a bowl game. They gave Colorado State a fight, but lost last week. Turnovers killed 'em. They ran the ball well against the Rams, and played a good defensive gaem. They beat the point spread, though. ;-)

That's right violin, I forgot, Rutgers people don't have any friends.

Losers of the week:
Arkansas covering 4.5 (Do or die)
Nebraska getting 1 (The huskers can't be this pathetic, can they?)
Virginia Tech covering 7 (In preparation for Miami)
Oklahoma St. getting 14.5 (Oklahoma is NOT impressive)
Georgia covering 10 (God I hate betting on the frawgs)
Tennessee covering 8 (Come on VOLS, salvage something)
Alabama covering 13.5 (Not a bad bowl game)
Southern Cal covering 10 (I swear I'll never learn)
FLORIDA getting 4 (Oh yes, I like this one)

Hey SlimJim, welcome to the board. Remember, NOTHING SUCKS LIKE A BIG ORANGE!!!!.

Strat has given me so much flack, but I'll bet the Tide gets a better bowl location than they do.

For all you Bama fans, there is a TV movie coming up starring Tom Berringer as Bear Bryant, but I didn't catch what network or when. Keep an eye out for the teasers.

The real predictions coming soon.
So, Dayhiker, you're our inside guy, is Franchione leaving or not? There sure is a lot of smoke for no fire.
You can't blame a guy for wanting to be a part of the Big Twelve after being banished to the SECK.
Dunadan

That's right, Dun. The twelve stooges take a lot of misfits that the SEC rejects. Why just last year Oklahoma scooped up at least one recruit who couldn't cut the academics at FLORIDA.

Dayhiker, why is it that every time you try to suck an ORANGE you get such a sour face?

I can’t wait to hike with you guys! No baseball bats allowed.

Because an orane just sucks so bad.

I really don't think he's leaving. He is currently under a 5 year contract. News leaked out that an unprecedented 10 year contract was in the works. It didn't get finalized before the end of the season. It will be finalized after the season. Why would someone leave the 1st or 2nd best football tradition of ALL time for Texas A&M? If we win Sat we will have our 27th 10 win season. That is the all time record. We may be moldy, oldy(to borrow arc's term) but we have been on TV, been to more bowls, and won more bowls than ANYONE. That's on top of the 12 NC's.

Geo-It's on ESPN. It's based on the book "The Junction Boys" about the Bear's time at Texas A&M. His first fall practice started out with over 100 players and ended with around 27. One player almost died.

Arc-we won't bring baseball bats. You're from Jersey. We'll bring tire irons to make you feel at home. Hope you can make it in March.

Sorry to hear about your allergic reaction to ORANGE, Dayhiker. It’s sad to hear you old gummers talk about the glory days of leather helmets and slipping in Bear scat. Yes, the glory days before TV. I’ll bet your outhouse was painted a nice butt-cheek shade of crimson. Thanks for the southern hospitality, Day. Spray me with mace, hit me with a tire iron, and finish me off with brass knuckles. I'll feel right at home. Just remember that I may be ugly and have lots of scars, but I’ve survived this long for a reason…

I BLEED ORANGE!!! And everyone knows that (while orange sherbet may melt) true orange is better than crimson every time. Enjoy the popcorn bowl this year my criminally inclined LOSER friend.

Man, I've got to make March. I'll be able to regale you with tales from our glorious bowl victory. I can even bring pictures. Better yet, a slide show!

Re: Article Slocum Resigning after UT Game? posted on DFW Sports Weekly website on November 27.

I have no knowledge of a source or the validity of the article announcing the resignation of R. C. Slocum as Head Football Coach for Texas A&M. The DFW Sports Weekly Editor in Chief posted the article without my knowledge and permission.

One of the main objectives of DFW Sports Weekly is to report and promote all the positive aspects of sports including the athletes, coaches, and fans. The DFW Sports Weekly in no way condones or supports negative reporting to sell papers. The paper is complimentary to the public.

I would like to state that I am a strong supporter of Texas A&M Football and R. C. Slocum. R. C. Slocum is a friend in which I am very loyal.

I would like to apologize to R. C. Slocum, Texas A&M football and Texas A&M fans for the misleading and inaccurate information posted to the DFW Sports Weekly website from an unsubstantial source other than myself. I have confidence that R. C. Slocum will be the Head Football Coach for Texas A&M next season.

Geez, the bowl people better hope Miami wins vs. Virginia Tech. Oklahoma lost, so if Miami loses, the #2 team in the AP poll - and ESPN coaches poll (the only polls that have traditionally mattered) - will play in the Rose Bowl.

I think that whoever plays OSU in the Fiesta will beat them. And I think Iowa will win the Rose Bowl.

Go Virginia Tech! Go Hawkeyes! Oh, and Go Blue!

Well, Bama finished out with an ugly win. That put us at 10-3. That is the 27th time in our 108 years of football. That means that 25% of our seasons have had 10 wins.

Keep looking over your shoulder...
Texas A&M fired Slocum. He was A&M's winningest coach at 123-47-4 over 14 years. You gotta believe that A&M thinks they have someone REAL special to take his place. Does Franchione fit into this picture? Stay tuned, folks.

I must admit that I'm a little nervous. Fran has repeatedly said that he has a job. He hasn't come out and said "Hell no I'm not leaving" which is what most people want to hear. He language has been rather legal in tone.

Personally, I don't know why you would take A&M over Bama. I'm not knocking A&M, because they are a great football school, but I think the red carpet is still rolled out in Tuscaloosa from what I can tell. I hope he stays.
