Anytime you could or can "take away ALL THE TURNOVERS anybody would play better" !! By the way Lobo97, do you know where Pat Collins is now....still in Longview or moved back to Louisiana by chance. I knew him when he was at La Tech in the 70's. Love to tell him "hello". I know he knows Smoaky.

Arkansas has the talent. But on November 25th they play in Deaf Valley otherwise known as Tiger Stadium.......that means 100,000 screaming cajuns (actual capacity is listed at 92,542, but count them when get there and see what you come up with.) !!! Soooeeeeee Pig............feast. I could stand a good pork sandwich......made to order.

This is baseball. Do the words "You can fail 7 outta 10 times and still be an All-Star"....or "It ain't over til it's over..." set off any buzzers in your head.....?

LSU already beat Oregon in Jerry's World in the first game this season. Think the BCS wants a rematch of that with LSU probably a better squad now than they were then..........OU would be a good game.

Bobby Valentine after offering his world wide view with his managing expertise stretching from Texas to Tokyo might now be the new skipper for the Boston Red Sox. The behind closed doors work is still being worked out. I guess if he gets the gig the Red Sox faithful could change the words IF Neil Diamond would go along with it, to saying "Sweet Valentine" instead of "Sweet Caroline". Interesting situation here. Stay tuned for the rest of the story. And think about this.......Valentine's old watering hole in Arlington, remember "Bobby V's", might next be seen selling Valentine candy and flowers in February if Bobby gets this gig in Boston. One if by land and two if by sea, and Bobby V could be the manager for the Pale Hose, wait and see.........

Bavasi and Finley merit votes for their contributions to the game.

......maybe a small scale rendition of the game of the week.

Fran Tarkenton was a better QB than Romo because he could move the pocket all over and you better hope you don't let him get away.

The sighs of Texas are upon them.............lickem' your wounds UT !!

The boys still have a soft schedule do to the way their record was last season....correct.

No way they see 12 wins unless they schedule some arena teams or 3........their schedule is soft enough as it is because of their wonderful performance last year. HBDC !!

Give the Madhatter a month to prepare and I take the Tigers every time !!

They also had Cam Newton and his extortion seeker dad to deal with. How the NCAA let that go by is "unbelievable" to me.

Amen, Brother !!

I will predict the score will be 6-3 Tigers !!

Who can ever forget the Ali-Frazier matchups. Never forget those boxing classics !! Ali, Frazier and spice that up with Howard Cosell and there was the big show like Barnum and Bailey......"Step right up !!"

The Tigers have now played Oregon (ranked #3 before the game), Mississippi State (#25), West Virginia (#16), Florida (#17), Auburn (#19) and Alabama (#2). I guess Miles is practicing for a guest role in "Mortal Combat 3) !! GEAUX Tigers !!

So if both can score at will or as much as needed to win then it is all equal.....right !! Who won the Game and remains Number ONE in the NATION !!! L S U !! I will repeat.....LSU !!!

There you go, and nobody got hurt.......so we don't have to worry about it. We will be and are wiser for the experience. I am so looking forward to the Rangers becoming a team that has been to three World Series in a row !! That is a short list with the Cubs, Tigers, Cardinals, Giants, Yankees and A's being the teams that come to me off the top of my head.

The NBA season is going to be late at best this time around. Owners and players can't count right and so if they both don't think they are one up on the other on how to split the the billion dollar pie they are both going to take it out on their only hope........the fans. I remember when the NBA would run ads saying in a bragging way that "the NBA is fan-tastic"....hyping the fans. Now the fans are getting "the Isaac Hayes treatment". They are definitely getting the "shaft"...can you dig it !! David Stern has got to be smarter than this. I know he is and so does he.

I dunno about that. Remember that this "century" is only in it's 11th year....RIGHT !!

Before you run into the car you are following on the road slow down with your logic. Don't think that the Tigers are going to turn and run on Saturday. They will be in this game all the way and will come away with the win and remain undefeated and number one. GEAUX TIGERS !!!

SMOAKY will like this bit of trivia ** How bout the fact that "The 2nd overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft and the 41st overall pick in the 2006 draft both came out of University of Nebraska. The 2005 Husker was Alex Gordon and the 2006 was Joba Chamberlain. Alex Gordon being drafted with the number 2 pick overall was the highest for Nebraska since the 1995 Number One pick was Darin Erstad.

Who had the tougher schedule.........LSU !!!

.........when you are behind by 30 points what does one sack or two do for you unless that is all you care about is your personal stats..... Looks like the cowboyz are not sure about anything out there tonight. I know Dandy Don has already sung "Turn Out The LIGHTS" ....probably by halftime !! Jimmie Johnson is smiling and yelling "How Bout Dem cowgirls" !!!
