Well I've already loss. I can tie but I'm gonna lose on the tiebreak by one point. I almost hope I don't tie because I think my other two losses were on tiebreaks too. Great I'll have the same record as those piece of shit Niners. Edit: Okay I'll lose the tiebreak by more than one as I see the Texans just scored. Pretty sure that gives me a losing record for the early games today.

*sigh* The 49ers officially suck. Oh well at least I can watch the rest of the season relaxed, not expecting anything.

Er um hmmm....now explain how the BCS is responsible for this? You would have gotten the same bowl schedule under the old system with the polls just FSU/Va Tech would have been the Orange Bowl. Seriously wow a Big 10/Pac-10 match-up in the Rose Bowl...never saw that one coming. Of course the BCS has RUINED the Rose Bowl but hey they sure gave us a good game in '99 that we would have gotten regardless.

Oooo ya cause its sooooooooooo hard to figure out who's national champ when there is only one undefeated team at the end of the year. The NCAA has lucked out since the BCS was put in as we haven't had a year yet where the was no undeafted teams before the bowls or more than two undefeated teams before the bowls. Of course it has fucked up the national championship game twice by putting in an undeserving Florida St. team in there in 2000 to get beat up by Oklahoma and an undeserving Nebraska team in 2001 to get humiliated by Miami when the Rose Bowl was killed forever. Last year they got lucky because they were two undefeated teams at the end and it ended up being a great game and people praised the BCS for "working". *sigh* I actually don't want this topic to turn into a bowl vs. playoff topic...well not until November.

What's so funny about this story is that he's still guarenteed getting his title back. Of course the best thing about this is now there is FINALLY some intrigue on Raw as to what might happen for at least a couple of months.

Fuckin' Cal. Their best case scenerio is playing in the Las Vegas Bowl and they have to cost the Pac-10 a potential national championship.

Above is my worst fuckin' nightmare. I don't think I could watch a baseball game ever again if I have to live through a Giants/Yankees World Series. I'd give my own predictions but bias keeps me from doing it. Plus predictions are pointless after what happened last year which no one could have predicted.

Is this really such an accomplishment? I feel bad for Tyrone. Note to John Saunders: Northern Illinois is supposed to beat Iowa State. Quit trying to act like its an upset. Actually judging by the score NIU didn't play a very good game.

I think Jarrett was a tweener at the time. Recap by John Petrie: JEFF JARRETT (w/ Debra McMichael) vs. CURT HENNIG (w/ Elizabeth) Jarrett comes out to a smattering of applause and boos, but little else. Hennig gets a better reaction, though that's probably due in part to his coming out to the NWO music. They cut to a commercial. This was, dare I say it, a fairly good match. A nice mix of mat wrestling and brawling. The crowd even got into, though at an energy level well below that usually generated by the likes of DDP, Flair, Lex Luger, Hogan and Sting. Hennig concentrates on softening Jarrett up for a submission hold like the sleeper, while Jarrett goes to work on Hennig's legs in preparation for the Figure Four-which Jarrett is eventually able to slap on. Liz then distracts the ref as Randy Savage comes running in to hand Hennig the U.S. Title belt. Hennig nails Jarrett, freeing himself from the hold. Jarrett sells it likes he's been hit by a bus. Hennig hauls up Jarrett's lifeless form and puts him in the Hennig-Plex, getting the three count and the win. Actually he had two one day stints as champ in which he and Booker were dropping the title back and forth which eventually led to the best of seven series. This reign in '99 lasted a little less than a month. Recap by CRZ: CHRIS BENOIT v. THREE TIME WORLD KARATE CHAMPION AND THE GODFATHER OF SOUL THE CAT (with Sonny Onoo) for the World Television Championship - Heenan goes onto a tirade here: "I'm tired of people telling me me what I can say and what I can't say, and how Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan should and shouldn't be. I don't care about you or the Corporate people up there at WCW - you ever walked through the offices there? People sittin' there with receding hairlines, they've got thick glasses on, bow ties and suspenders. Looks like a bookworm convention. No one's ever gonna tell me what to do anymore, Schiavone - the Brain's back...you usually say 'Don't say that - why would you do that? Why do you say that?' Because I can and I will." Is this...a new capital "a" Attitude? Or a desperate attempt to placate us smart folk? Cat is wearing a lovely leopard ensemble with matching Kango and ascot. Cat demands a title shot, despite the fact that Tony already told us Benoit is taking him on tonight - see, now that's just bad planning! Benoit's a three time champion in his own right - three time TV champion, you know. Didn't you know? Cat tries to attack before the bell but Benoit ducks it. Cat quickly outside to avoid a whuppin'. Chase is on - we're both back in. As part of Heenan's rediscovery of his heel roots, he now no longer likes Benoit. Cat begging off and now offering the Hand of Friendship. Benoit wisely stomps him. Cat slumped in the corner following the whip - but that WAS a suckering-in and Cat drops him on the turnbuckle. Nice kick from the laying position to Benoit's head. Cat up - off the ropes - Benoit tries to reverse, but Cat ducks and hits a savat kick. Blatant choke. Benoit wants to take on Rick Steiner again. Head to the buckle, Cat stands on the neck. Beal out of the corner. Cat poses. "I want the belt" motion from the Cat. Knee on the throat for 4. Into the ropes, head down, Sunset flip attempt - no, double pelvic thrust and punch to the head. But he was too busy showing off - Sunset flip COMPLETED for 2. Superkick from Cat to take us back to square one. Benoit with the elbow, Benoit to the gut, now with rights, face rake from Cat, and the pummeling is on. Cat showing his karate skills - now a bodyslam. Time now for the breakdance flourish elbowdrop. That cover's arrogant - you only get 2. Cat throws Benoit through the ropes, where Onoo gets some (alleged) kicks in behind the back of referee "Blind" Mickey J. Cat outside - but the whip into the barricade is reversed and hard. Cat slow to get up - but he's got a water bottle! That water REALLY STINGS!! Back in the ring, blatant choke by the Cat. Now to the chinlock, complete with Devious Leverage from the bottom rope - and Onoo. Benoit manages to get up - elbowing out, knife-edge chop, but Cat back to the eyes. Scoop - and a slam. Another breakdancing elbowdrop. Whip into the opposite corner - Benoit hits sternium first, but ducks the kick and hits a lariat. Thumb crosses throat - but Onoo is in. Cat has the shoe - but hits Onoo, natch. German suplex! Swandive headbutt! Crippler crossface! Will he give up? Well it takes a bit, but yes. (6:14)

Jeanie Whatever the Fuck Her Name Is and Kevin Kennedy have to be the worst studio hosts ever. Kennedy has no personality at all and has no clue what happens in baseball outside the east coast and I have to wonder who Jeanie WTFHNI is blowing. Maybe I should wonder that about Kennedy too. Steal Karl Ravich and Harold Reynolds from ESPN for the playoffs STAT.

Fox is a joke and MLB is a joke for ever signing a deal with them. I so hope when the current deal is up they go back to NBC or ABC.

Not that I'm saying Kansas would win but UNLV did embarass Wisconsin (I had wondered on this board how a team could lose to a team that lost to Kansas but that's what I get) and has a nice win over Hawaii. Missouri was ranked today although after just eeking out a win over Middle Tennesee St. last week I guess you could see this one coming. Holy crap Washington St. is laying a beating to Oregon 31-2. This poses the question...how the fuck did WSU lose to Notre Dame? That might end up being the upset of the year.

Kansas blows out Missouri 37-14. Kansas is 4-1. Who knew? Michigan St. upset Iowa 20-10. Arkansas/Alabama is in a weather delay.

I was wondering how someone can win the MVP if he supposedly has three other teammates having MVP type seasons. Also like David Ortiz no one can convince me Bill Mueller is the best player on the Red Sox. Oh well its not like this is an exact science. The definitive votes will come tommorrow night...my votes.

I have to assume the NFL owns the footage otherwise if the networks owned it you'd think ABC would let ESPN Classic show old MNF games but they don't. Of course it could be part of the deal with ESPN to show Sunday Night games that they aren't allowed to show old NFL games on ESPN Classsic except for the NFL Films versions of them which we've all seen a million times. I had always assumed the NFL was just holding on to those original broadcast games for their own channel but since they apparantly are not going to I'm starting to think it has something to do with NFL Films. I think they and they alone feel NFL Films should be the one to tell the history of the NFL and only their film should be shown. Its shuch a shame that those old CBS, NBC, and Monday Night games may never see the light of day again. How cool would it be to see the original broadcast of "The Immaculate Reception" game?

Answer the last question first as Nash had lost the title to Booker T at Fall Brawl the week before this and Nash never held the title again. Yes Russo was awarded the title and did a sit down interview with Mike Tenay on Thunder that week where he said his in ring days were over and essentially he'd be forfeiting the title on Nitro the next week. On Nitro eventually a tag match between Booker T & Jeff Jarrett vs. Scott Steiner & Sting was set up and the winners would face off in the main event in another stupid Russo gimmick match for the title in which Beetlejuice, the weird midget with small head from the Howard Stern show, would be involved in the finish. Yup...Beetlejuice. Check out the Nitro Review on Sunday to find out who won! Or just look it up online.

Wow need to bump this before it goes to the 2nd page. Not exactly a compelling week for games with only one game between ranked teams. After the last couple of weeks have to figure things will go more to form.

They'll have a 3-man rotation and it will go Hudson, Zito, Lilly. Harden will be in the bullpen.

Todd Walker: "We're going to roll into Oakland...and whoop some ass." Better duck their Todd when you step in the box in Game 1. Who the fuck is Todd Walker? Gee I remember he was benched when the Red Sox played the A's last month.
