If these are truly "birth pangs" then this must be the generation. No hedging, Greg, either the Bible must be taken "literally" or "this generation" is no different than the scores that have gone before.

The pride of men, every generation thinks it is the last.

(And I say that being mindful that I often think "Come Lord Jesus.)

Speaking of the pride of men...my teams had both good and bad weeks. Good News: my high school team (last year's Ohio state champ) beat the cross-nation Texas champion pretty handily. My pro team (Bengals) looked good on their first game of the season in nearly a decade....but perhaps that's because the Browns aren't so hot. Time will tell.

On the down side: My Cincy team in their inaugural Big East season had their keesters handed to them by Penn State. The OS Buckeyes threw a game to Texas in the last quarter....no national championship this year. But it was a pretty even match. (Maybe they are a good team.)

I noticed that one of your teams, from whom you've taken your handle, didn't handle Georgia by a few points. Was it a heartbreaker?
