I believe the new Nike ad with the music by Ennio Morricone ("The Ecstasy of Gold" from "The Good, The Bad, and The Uglt") was directed by David Fincher, of "Fight Club" fame.

a.p - I'm a Penn St. alum, so, in short - yes! I would easily slot them #3 - I think they've looked far & above everyone they've played this year, but right now I don't think they looked on the same level as Tex/OU did yesterday. But that was also a high-spirited rivalry game where everything was ratcheted up, so we'll see if Texas can survive (& get it up for) a pissed off Missouri trying to save their season next week.

Alabama is the one that really gets under my skin - it's the equivalent of those folks (cough, Dan?!) who put East Carolina in the top 10 after week 3. I think I made this point a couple weeks ago - of the four "top 10" SEC teams (Georgia/Florida/LSU/Alabama), who have any of these teams beaten outside of themselves? Arizona State? Miami? Clemson? Heavy hitters there. (In PSU's defense: at least Oregon St. knocked off USC!) Then throw into the mix Alabama's squeakers vs. Tulane & Kentucky and Georgia pillow-fighting their way by South Carolina, LSU's come from behind win over juggernaut Auburn and I just think the Kool Aid is turning out to be awfully strong on the SEC this year. I mean UCLA beat Tennessee at home, am I supposed to be impressed by Georgia doing it?

bankrupt, have you seen Penn State play? They have beaten all of their opponents by 14 points or more. They destroyed an Oregon State team that beat USC. They beat Illinois when IU was ranked and they obliterated Wisconsin on Saturday. They should be somewhere in the 2-4 range. OU should be no lower than 4 and LSU should be out of the top 10. That was a freaking joke. Overrated to the max is LSU this year. Must suck to play a team that is actually good, eh LSU?

Shanoff, as much as I loathe UF and your insane hyperbole at times about them, I hate LSU even more so I caught myself rooting for the Gators. I think I just threw up in my mouth.

In other news, Syracuse still sucks! They lost to a WVU team that was missing Pat White.

Hmm... no update since he posted the "nightcaps" starting. The LSU-UF game has been over for two hours, and still no update. Here's to Dan watching Tebow finish off the Tigers from the delivery room! Congrats Dan!

That WAS a heavyweight tilt - I would argue voters should put Texas #1, Oklahoma #2 - has anybody looked on their level this year? Let Missouri play their way in by beating Texas (they don't look too good against OK St right now), and just going off of watching the games, it's a joke to think Alabama should even be in the mix.

Go Green!

Tell your wife "Quickie" also relates to the delivery of babies!

Good luck and hope everyone is doing well.
