The Good - The Cubs lost to Cincinnati's Class AA team demonstrating that they haven't totally forgotten their heritage.

The Bad - The worthless 'Stros pitch Robertson today, their leading winner with an ERA approaching infinity, for whom they usually score 42 runs a game, while the Cubs pitch Prior.

The Ugly - That Nebraska-SoMiss game was hideous. The Corn accepted the gift, but demonstrated a spotty option attack and one of the crappiest looking passing games I've seen in college football in twenty years.

The Disrespected - The Texas Tech-Ole Miss game is not on TV unlike A&M-Pitt, Texas-Tulane, and Rice-Hawaii. Tech is the Rodney Dangerfield of college football.

The Tragic - Trev Alberts, who misspelled his name on his application to Nebraska (It was originally a nickname, Trey, signifying his IQ), picked A&M to beat Pitt as his upset of the week. This is the equivalent of BI picking you to win and Plano naming it his lock of the year at the same time. That game looks bleak for the Ags.

Unfortunately we play them next week and Fox, in their wisdom, has chosen to show Tech late at night. As someone else suggested, we can have Midnight Yell during the fourth quarter.

Gig 'em.

Thank the Red Raiders for your nine o'clock start time. The networks figure they can compete only with infomercials on George Foreman's Grill.

Since Lubbock closes and rolls up the streets at 8:30 PM, are y'all taking a tent and an air mattress so you can sleep in the parking lot?

I was beginning to wonder if I was watching a different game than the media. The AP headline for the game was "Huskers go to air to polish off Eagles: Nebraska's Lord racks up 124 yards." ESPN's story is titled "Nebraska QB delivers through air". He was 6 for 14 for crying out loud. If you take out the two long throws to guys who were wide open, he was 4 for 12 for 37 yards. Very impressive. NU managed only 265 yards of total offense.

What a boob. Not because the pick is necessarily bad, but would that count as the upset of the week. Pitt is favored by a single point on the road. That hardly be considered an upset.

I did laugh when I heard Parcells' answer to a young reporter's question about what he thought about Clarett. He said he'd have to give a Sergeant Schulz answer to that one, and then had to explain what he meant.
