Let's Go Raiders

There were emotions going back and forth as the Longhorns looked horrible in the 1st half but actually shut the Lubbocks down for the majority of the 2nd half. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. You have to have stones to go for the TD w/ seconds left and a game tying field goal staring at you in the face. You get rewarded w/ a lot of "big time" jobs aka Aggies, Huskies, and maybe Vols Mr Leach. Mr Crabtree, you get your choice of women in Lubbock and something like $40 million dollars next year. I think the walk on/contest winner Red Raider kicker was among the happiest Saturday night. I texted Shen b/c I worried for his safety w/ a potential blonde ball of burnt orange anger in his vicinity. He said that it was very quiet. I'm sure it was a lot louder in Lubbock. I wonder if it's still standing now.
Sho to the mizzo is a happy man for multiple reasons as his Gators trounced the Bulldogs as expected. He also took first place at Ben's Bday Poker Party. The game was actually close until the early parts of the 2nd half. They now stand as the most impressive team in the land w/ the Longhorn loss. Unfortunately, the Swampthings still have 1 loss and 3 undefeated teams ahead of them. At least they're in sniffing distance of BCS love. The Baylors almost pulled off a huge upset but came up short once again. Sorry Cliff. I'm sure that T squared is happy as his Techs were going to get the win and then were going to get the loss but got older Bowden to cough up the ball in the end zone when it looked like the Noles were going to get the comeback win. Super run on sentences. And last but certainly not least, VDW is a happy man as the Spartys were able to get the solid win against the big rodents of Wisconsin. It's up to you to make sure that Joe Pa doesn't get an undeserved championship shot.
So there will be a lot of talk about jumping over a bunch of teams to get a #2 ranking. I guess it's good for conversation and to generate interest in college football. It doesn't matter for now though b/c if the Red Raiders can't finish undefeated w/ games against the Sooners and Cowboys left, then it doesn't matter. Alabama stays #1 but no one believes that they'll beat the Gators in an SEC showdown later on. The Big 10 is overrated and the beatings of the Buckeyes have proven this. I hope that VDW's Spartans can make sure that the Lions don't get in the conversation.
