PENALTIES PENALTIES PENALTIES. Only one was questionable so I'm not complaining about officiating. Where is the short passing game that was mentioned in the Beloit Daily News about a month ago ?? Here's a hint, when all else fails just tell Carrier to take off. It usually = $$$ in the bank.

That was a lame game Bucs. Were you afraid of winning or what ??

No offense to Ripon or their fans intended. The Beloit offense simply didn't help the Beloit defense.

IC just won its 400th game. 31-23

I guess that means I'll have to approach the "chosen people" hat in hand on Nov. 6th. Rub it in now so you get it out of your system

There'll be nothing of the sort.  I've learned that pounding one's chest can turn into one's A$$ getting kicked in as short a time as 7 days.  

Oh, and so all can rest easy, I will share that the mighty Klein Freshman Broncos vanquished the formerly undefeated Tomball Patriots 27-25 to remain, themselves, undefeated on the season.

Sheeeeeeeeewwwwww, I was worried about that one. Tomball nearly covered the RoopVegas spread. That would have cost me some coin.

What a great day in Blu's world.  As mentioned, the Mighty Klein Freshman Broncos prevailed over those pesky Tomball Patriots.  Then, with the glow of that victory still warming the heart, the Blueboy's overcame a sluggish start to provide Blueboy Nation (A.K.A. The Chosen People) the proper outcome for their Homecoming.

Some of you may have noticed that the Longhorns sent the Huskers off to the Big 10 with a giant raised middle-finger.  (Editor's note: All should know that Nebraska's departure was precipitated by the fact that they came to the realization they may NEVER beat Texas.  Thus, they sought an easier route to BCS opportunities.)  

To that end; as a result of my failure to predict said outcome, and the discovery that I do, in fact, have a great deal to learn about cooking ribs, I am imposing, upon myself, a 10 day suspension from my position as Self-appointed expert on everything (except basketball and baseball).  Let it be known that following the suspension I will re-apply.  Somebody's got to do it.

Anyway, just when I figured things couldn't get better, the aggies get it handed to them at home by Mizzou.  I go see the movie "Red" (BTW- two thumbs up.) at one of J-Ville's (2) movie houses.  I come out of the theater learn there had been a cherry placed on the whip cream, on the icing, of the cake of my day.  The Luckeyes got it handed to them by Wisconsin.  Maybe that'll shut them up... Nah, not likely.  What a great day!

I'll step in as self proclaimed expert on everything, on an interim basis, and say that we will have 4 games this week with "shake up" implications. Ripon is the only team that controls it's own destiny. A loss by them changes 783 scenarios for the remaining teams still in contention. Only one game this week has no bearing on the championship.

I see that only the "pranksters of record" have voted but the main stream posters need to participate, as a control group, or the poll won't be accurate.

Hey blu, nice win by IC yesterday.  I checked it in the Omaha papers at the airport on the way back from Lincoln watching the Horns and the Huskers (nice shirt we saw - "Corn versus Cows").  Nebraska folks are nice, and I'm married to one of them (who was dressed in red and white), but we had a great time up in the Texas section.  Nebraska folks were very complimentary, even after the game - much more than Tehas folks would be in defeat, as our friends from Austin remarked.  So you be a good winner, now - ya hear?
