For discussions involving the day in sports. Here are some of today's games that bear watching, and could produce surprises:
LSU at Kentucky. The Tigers squeaked by the Gators last week, and could be ripe for a letdown after such an emotional win.
Oregon State at Cal. I've been told that Cal QB Nate Longshore's injury is much more serious than being reported.
Missouri at Oklahoma. I think the Sooners are overrated, and the Tigers are serious. Even without injured RB Tony Temple, Mizzu can win this game.
Wisconsin at Penn State. Wisconsin has not looked good recently, and the Lions play well at home.
Auburn at Arkansas. Razorbacks are looking to right their disappointing season at home. This could be one of the more entertaining games of the day.
*****Update: Kentucky beats LSU; Penn State beats Wisconsin. Who ever's doing this open thread is looking pretty good...again!!! :-)

No predictions from me today. Not after last week.
October 13, 2007 - 09:46 ET by Dave RI just hope that Georgia (who somehow managed to stay in the top 25) can beat Vanderbuilt, and that Tech can beat Miami.
Wouldn't mind Arizona beating USC, either, but that would be pushing it.

No problem
October 13, 2007 - 10:01 ET by ricklailThere should be no problem with your Dawgs over Vandy. Same for Tech. You saw how my Heels handled them last week.
Hate to say this but Cal is going down Noel.
I am going out a limb here but I predict Canetucky to beat LSU in a close one.
I am hoping my Heels can stick it to SC. You know we are the real Carolina.
Got to go. I have to take the wife, daughter and granddaughter (1 year old on Oct 31.) to the Mumfest in New Bern.
Blonde and the rest of you take care. I won't be back until after the 12 o'clock games are over.

October 13, 2007 - 10:46 ET by dervishLSU was humbled last week, even if they did win. They're going to take that out on Kentucky this week. I guess the point spread to be at least 2 TDs. And as much as it pains me to admit it, for I congenitally despise Spurrier, SC is for real this year; the Heels are in trouble today.

Off topic. But during the
October 13, 2007 - 18:23 ET by ahusserOff topic. But during the ND halftime where they do a little showcase of the Universities playing. On the Notre Dame blurb ( I just caught the tail end of it) was shown how the "Fighting Irish" was fighting the injustice of contoversial "immigration" and how wonderful the diversity and inclusion of the Hispanic community has added to Notre Dame etc. No where in this little piece of propaganda was the term illegal immigration used. I don't think normal immigration is controversial only illegal immigration. A little leftist propaganda with the sin of omission.
Speaking of the Sox
October 13, 2007 - 17:47 ET by ThisnThatMaybe it's just me, but watching baseball teams play 8:00pm start-time games in windy, 50-degree temperatures seems a bit absurd. This game could have been scheduled for this afternoon, and while a bit chilly, certainly nothing like tonight.
The World Series is going to be cold. Very cold.

October 13, 2007 - 18:15 ET by ahusserI think it is time to cut the number of games played in the major leagues by 10-15 games. I know this is blasphemy and would be hard on stats (for a while) but I would like to see the World Series closer to September than November.
That's Not So Cold...
October 13, 2007 - 23:24 ET by Del DolemonteActually, the Red Sox play in windy, 50-degree temperatures for the first month of their regular season at home. They're used to it.
I've even shivered thru more than one game at Fenway in April where the temps were in the upper 40s! For those early-season games, it's actually warmer to sit in the bleachers, as they get the most sun.
But, think of the fun if it goes to Colorado!
October 13, 2007 - 23:27 ET by rx4musicI was in Denver at the beginning of June and it was still snowing in the foothills (just a 1/2 hour out of town!). Right now I just don't see it going to AZ...
Holy cow, Del. How many QBs
October 13, 2007 - 21:25 ET by Roger the ShrubberHoly cow, Del. How many QBs can throw 75 times and win a game? That was a good game to watch!
No Problem!
October 13, 2007 - 23:15 ET by Del DolemonteScary thing is, both of Brennan's backup quarterbacks are no hacks either. Last month, Colt had to sit out a game, and the team still put up over 60 points, and when he was knocked out of last week's game it was more or less the same result.

October 13, 2007 - 15:31 ET by Roger the ShrubberAny Mount Union fans out there? They are 5-0, have won 63 road games in a row, and have outscored their opponents 281-24. They are currently beating Wilmington 45-0 in the 3rd quarter. These guys are studs! They have been Div III national champs 5 times since 2000, amassing a 96-3 record.

MIZ ZOU
October 13, 2007 - 12:05 ET by JDWFour years ago the Sooners won beat Mizzou with a fake field goal.
Since Pinkel took the reins, Mizzou's offense has been anything but tradition. Alignments and fakes have played a big part in Mizzou's 5-0 success this season.
After making mince meat of Nebraska, OU must realize this is a game being called without fear.

Somebody fill me in...
October 14, 2007 - 11:38 ET by dervishAlong the lines of this, in the first quarter of the game, Oklahoma threw a short pass. The receiver was immediately tackled (as in laid out horizontal-like) but fell on the tackler, rolled off, got up, and ran into the end zone as if he hadn't really been tackled. A touchdown was awarded, but after ten minutes or so of analysis, he was ruled down (and the Okies scored anyway).
I was on the phone at the time and had the sound off, and didn't catch any later comment on that on ESPN. How in the world was there any doubt about that guy being down?

ESPN.com...
October 13, 2007 - 12:15 ET by dervishdoesn't have a listing for it on ANY network, even their "GamePlan" pay-per-view. That was the point of my gripe about NBC above -- we can watch BC mop the field with the Irish, but not a #8 - #6 matchup. Go figure.
Keith Jackson woulda been there...
It looks like Fox Sports
October 13, 2007 - 13:01 ET by dubuquemanIt looks like Fox Sports Network is the carrier, even though ESPN is doing its Game Day from--get this--Norman. But no sign of the game in Chicago, maybe because Comcast is showing the Northern Illinois game. I see a replay of the Mizzou game will be shown here at 1:30 am. Bummer.

As usual
October 13, 2007 - 13:43 ET by ricklailGot back earlier than first thought. My wife took her car and I went in my truck. She was going to tour the gardens at Tryon Palace.
Same as usual. Crowds, food vendors, crowds, craft vendors, crowds, rides for the kids, crowds, music, crowds, boat and car shows, crowds. That is my big hang up- the crowds. It draws huge crowds to the downtown area of New Bern for the 2 day event. You know what is weird. The lack of mums.
If you get time tommorrow go to www.newbernsj.com and look at the pictures. That will give you an idea of the CROWD.
My daughter is in from Pensacola. She was talking about a law that made it illegal for a cop to sit and clock speeders. They had to clock them on the move. What gives?
Well back to football. DOOK is getting clobered so that helps to make my day.
If you look back last week, SC didn't beat KY with offense. They did it with defense. The Heels are young and with a new coach. Anything that they do this year is gravy.
By the way, what did you thing about Wake spanking FSU's hiney-2 years in a row? I know you are not a big Bobby Bowden fan.

As for Bobby...I feel kind of sorry for him...and for all of my misguided Garnett & Gold friends. Bobby should have retired before he hired all of his sons....it's becoming a tad pathetic. LOL.
I hope you all have your way with Steve....I suppose I should turn the tube on about now....sorry, I'm not paying very much attention since my Gators are not playing today.
As for Pensacola...it's the panhandle....not quite part of Florida (AS IF that's such a good thing...LOL). Clock the speeders while chasing them...makes for a kind of OJ experience.
Okay...I'm getting off before the free association thing makes you all send the paramedics after me. It's been that kind of week.

Tonight, one of my favorite pitchers, old man (bloody sock) Curt Shilling, goes against hot youngster, Fausto Carmona.
"I know enough about him to know I'd rather be facing someone else" said Shilling.
This could be the pitcher's duel that was supposed to happen last night (Beckett vs Sabathia), but didn't.

Georgia came back and won, just barely. We have some problems for sure.

She got many compliments. I know, this is a useless comment but I cannot help myself. I just came from a party!
