College Ball - Week 8.
Wow - Michigan State overcame a 35 point, 3rd quarter deficit against Northwestern by scoring 14 points in that quarter and 24 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. The greatest comeback in NCAA Division I-A history! Final score: Michigan State - 41, Northwestern 38.
Sadly, Vanderbilt lost to South Carolina 31 -13. I didn't see the game and there was no mention of Cassen in the recap... Steve Spurrier, coaching three different teams, has never lost to Vandy. Just not right...
On the brighter side, Middle Tennessee State rallied a comeback to beat Louisiana-Monroe 35-21. What this means in the mighty Sunbelt Conference is... aw, like it matters.
The sadest win of the day has to be Tennessee's victory over hated rival Alabama. What a pitiful display. This time, I've got to admit, the Tennessee coaching staff were just about all that held this team together. Ainge had a terrible day, throwing three interceptions and his best play of the game might have been the desperation tackle he had to make because of one of those. Tennessee suposedly had the best offense in the SEC. I don't know where those guys were today but it wasn't in Neyland Stadium.
Even more sad were the blatantly cheap shots several Alabama players made while the officials cast a blind eye. Hey, they were probably busy mentally re-counting all that payola... They seemed to have no problem calling UT on every minor infraction. Really, it was just that obvious. Even the TV commentators, who usually despise Tennessee, remarked on it.
Oh well, a 'W' is a 'W' regardless. Final score: Tennessee - 16, Alabama - 13.

UT fans complain about officials more than any other fans. Go ahead, deny it, but you know it is true deep down in your soul!!!!!!
One of my parishioners was an official at that game.
It wasn't a pretty game. Of course, it still wasn't as brutal as last year. At least there were some points scored. And as bad as Ainge played in the first half, he held it together well enough to engineer that scoring drive.
Did you see Nebraska gift wrap the game for Texas. Awful!
LP, no, I didn't see Nebraska-Texas, but the recap looked bad...
UT-Bama is never pretty.
And I wouldn't dream of denying your first statement. Of course it's true. But there's a reason for that: THE OFFICIALS HATE TENNESSEE!
Hopefully your parishioner will tithe on his payoff - you guys could get a new stained glass window or something:)
BaHaHaHa...
I was actually hoping his payoff would go to the pastoral retreat fund for a "research" trip to Las Vegas!
LOL!
