Match Of The Week Preview:
(By MikeFromOhio)
 

Week Five was a fun week if you were a Buckeye fan. The weekend started out with Auburn getting a severe test at South Carolina in the super tough SEC. Ohio State went to Iowa and dismantled the Hawkeyes. USC was pushed by Washington State and Florida received a good push by Alabama. This week features the Red River Shootout between Texas and Oklahoma and another great matchup in the SEC when LSU visits Florida in the Swamp.

Saturday, October 7th, 2006 – 3:30 PM on CBS

at

(9) LSU (-2) at (5) Florida

LSU and Florida will meet in the first of what should be a month of absolutely great games in the SEC. This will be the first of 3 top 10 opponents that Florida will see in a 3 week span. For LSU this is all about building momentum and staying in the SEC West race. One loss does not eliminate them from contention for the BCS Championship game. This game is at the Swamp and it will be a very LOUD game. LSU has been there and done that and that will be the difference. Florida cannot start slowly like they did against Alabama to have any shot in this one but they are also possibly having to play this game without DeShawn Winn, their starting Tailback. All of this equals an LSU win I think.

LSU 20 – Florida 14

Saturday, October 7th, 2006 – 3:30 PM on ABC



(7) Texas (-5.5) at (14) Oklahoma

In this game there is a young Quarterback for Texas, and a defense for Oklahoma looking to show that during the bye week, they were able to plug some of the holes. Being that Texas and Oklahoma both already have one loss, a loss here not only knocks one out of the National Title hunt, but also puts the loser a game back of the winner in the Big XII South. Texas has the edge in this game. They are the more experienced team, and they have the better defense. Rivalry games like this are fun to pick, because you can be so often wrong on a game by game basis. Anyway, I think Texas wins this game by a TD.

Texas 27 – Oklahoma 20

**More Random Observations**
(By CSC Folks)

*Notre Dame has the toughest schedule according to Sagrin. Fresno State has the second toughest schedule. This does not guarantee that Notre Dame will be in the BSC Title game.

*Do you believe Northern Illinois' Garrett Wolfe should be an actual contender for the Heisman? For many Div 1-A fans, the answer is *no*. We want to know why not? He is on track to break Barry Sanders record while he was playing for Oklahoma State.

This year's college football season has been exceptional, especially in one particular area: The Refs! To say the officiating has been horrible would be an understatement! As mentioned elsewhere online, what happens if Oklahoma beats Texas and wins the Big 12 conference? Should Oklahoma be denied the chance to go for the title because a guy in the skybox couldn't watch his TV screen to make an obvious call? Instant replay can work, but you need competent people to work it!

After the United States disasterous World Cup (soccer/el futbol) run this past summer, we find ourselves looking for a new coach. Already there are American fans complaining that a foreigner will be hired. Colonel and MoJo are all for this! If you want to win on the international stage, get someone that actually has the know-how and the concept of how to field a team. Otherwise, hire an American and look forward to another 4 years of disappointments.

You knew it would have to happen--eventually!
The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have their own show on CMT! If you want to make the squad, you can now tryout in front of America. How clever and original! Not! Enjoy it anyways!

Good day to you, Kathy. It looks like rain here in Northern CA. Hope your day is Blessed.

[MEG33]

Is that why autumn up north is so beautiful!? We don't have such long or such cold winters here so God chose to not give us the really gorgeous colors except in a few trees.

I dread winter because of the shorter days. We are still having summer weather here!.

[Lady Jag]

I think that's the reason, MEG. Autumn's colors distract us from thinking about winter's approach.

BIBLE

A little boy opened the big family bible.
He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.
Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.
He picked up the object and looked at it.
What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
"Mama, look what I found", the boy called out.
" What have you got there, dear?
" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered,

"I think it's Adam's underwear!"

Letters to God - From Children
Kids know how to talk God's lingo!
 

Dear God, are you really invisible or is that just a trick?

Dear God, aid you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?

Dear God, I am American. What are you?

Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all the people in the world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it.

Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool!

Dear God, I do not think anybody could be a better God. Well, I just want you to know that I am not just saying this because you are God already.

Dear God, I keep waiting for spring but it never comes. Don't forget.

Dear God, I think about you sometimes, even when I'm not praying.

Dear God, I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.

Dear God, I want to be just like my daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over.

Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay?

Dear God, I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.

Dear God, if we come back as something, please don't let me be Jennifer Horton, because I hate her.

Dear God, if you give me a genie lamp like Aladdin I will give you anything you want except my money or my chess set.

Dear God, if you let the dinosaur not extinct we would not have a country. You did the right thing.

Dear God, if you watch me in Church Sunday, I'll show you my new shoes.

Dear God, instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you have now?

Dear God, it rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad! He said some things about you that people are not supposed to say, but I hope you will not hurt him anyway. Your friend (but I am not going to tell you who I am).

Dear God, maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.

Dear God, my brothers told me about being born, but it doesn't sound right. They are just kidding, aren't they?

Dear God, of all the people who worked for you, I like Noah and David the best.

Dear God, please put another Holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now.

Dear God, please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year.

Dear God, please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.

Dear God, thank you for my baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.

Dear God, we read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school, we learned that you did it. So I bet he stole your idea.

Dear God, who draws the lines around the countries?

Dear God, You don't have to worry about me. I always look both ways.

NUDITY

I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!

HONESTY

My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.

OPINIONS

On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents."

KETCHUP

A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."

MORE NUDITY

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

ELDERLY

While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4- year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

DRESS-UP

A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."
"And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.."

[potlatch]

Sorry! Ping to #526

[Allegra]

Hey, the mil weather briefing said t-storms tonight, so we'll see.

I don't hear any thunder yet. Waaaaaiting. {Tapping foot...}

The heavy dust this evening was a nice touch, though, wasn't it? (Yecchh!)

[Lady Jag]

Kids say the darnedest things!

When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I noticed an
older woman hugging him as he left the house.

"Is that your grandmother?" I asked.

"Yes," Chris said. "She's come to visit us for Christmas."

"How nice," I said. "Where does she live?"

"At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her we just go out
there and get her."
