Sunday Night
Not much time to write...
Took the squirrels to Knott's today; dressed them as princesses from the Disney collection this afternoon in a final (failed) attempt to get good pictures for the Christmas card; ran errands; and, there was too much wind last night, today, and until Tuesday to clean up the mess of leaves and mow the lawn so that I can put up the "pretty lights" as Kelly calls them. Perhaps I can get some of that done by the end of the week.
As for the silliness about USC running up the score, if the Trojans were guilty, blame the system and the East Coast bias that ripped votes from them last week when they did not even play. Grow up, people; it's a multi-million dollar system that the BCS has created.
Have the Fiesta Bowl officials taken poison yet? They are looking at a potential of Syracuse at 6-5 or, maybe, Pittsburgh at 8-3 versus Utah. Hopefully there will be a UTE-quake in Tempe.
The BCS officials are praying that there are no upsets this weekend. The Holiday Bowl, on the other hand, is hoping that SC loses so that Cal has to go to San Diego. Right now, it looks like the Holiday Bowl is stuck with an ASU team that just lost to a terrible Arizona team and the former has lost its QB for the year. Assuming there are no radical changes this week, ASU will play a mediocre Texas A&M team. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
And how about them Tigers? Occidental Tigers, that is. I think the Elite Eight is as far as any SCIAC team has gone in the playoffs, and they did it by winning on the road against Concordia-MN 42-40. Next up is the tough Lindfield team up in Oregon at noon on Satuday.
