Just sweet, sweet football. We had the living room television and one laptop playing games.
Because ESPN can now send four feeds down the line simultaneously we watched five games at once without even trying. Imagine what we’ll be able to do when Brian comes back for a watch party and we really geek out.
The Badgers smacked around San Jose State. Wisconsin is back!
South Carolina surprised everyone. In beating Georgia they might have proved themselves to be an actual team this year.
I wanted to give Florida the benefit of the doubt last week, but that is one troubled team. They might be more of an LSU, winning on the margins, than even LSU is right now.
Meanwhile Miami looked ungood against Ohio State. The Buckeyes weren’t especially impressive in the early going, but they managed to put together a solid win.
James Madison?
And Georgia Tech lost to Kansas, which lost to a team no one had ever heard of prior to last week. It looks like it is going to be one of those wacky years. (Meaning Boise State has no chance making the BCS game.)
Iowa throttled Iowa State.
Michigan might be good, or Notre Dame is just really bad. We’ll just go ahead and say Michigan is back.
Tennessee looked frisky for the better part of the first half, but Oregon is a talented team. So the story goes ranked Pac-10 team comes east, beats a bad Tennessee team digging themselves out of as difficult an institutional crisis possible and, thus, they’re for real.
Penn State at Alabama? I was hoping for a different outcome, but Bryant-Denny Stadium looked like a great setting for that game. Also Penn State was over-matched. Alabama might be good again.
After two weeks, I’m first and tied for first in two pick ’em leagues. Somehow I’m ninth in a third one.
And that, friends, is my Saturday. Not bad, eh?
