Football Roundup (College Edition)

Some pretty good games over the last few days. On Friday, Base10 caught the Longhorn-Aggies game. Texas beat Texas A&M 26-13. The most interesting play was a one-point safety awarded Texas when they recovered a fumbled extra point attempt in the end zone. It was an extremely rare play indeed.

Yesterday Boston College blew their chance to win the Big East outright. Syracuse pummelled them 43-17 in BC's last game as a member of the Big East.

The most disapointing performance yesterday was on the part of Notre Dame. They were victimized by USC 41-10. Granted USC is number one, but this is a storied rivalry and ND has owned it over the years. ND was doing pretty well up until halftime. In their opening drive, ND was fourth-and-goal at the two yard line. Base10 said go for it while his friends asked, "Are you nuts?" Base10 is not nuts. There is no next week for Notre Dame. They are playing the number one ranked team. You either kick them in the teeth early and try to dominate and win or you get back on the team bus and head back to South Bend. Score they did, but alas USC made some key adjustments and totally dominated in the second half.

In the pros today, Base10's beloved Jets face the Arizona Cardinals at 4PM. Click here for a preview. Our crosstown football cousins have quite the challenge as rookie Eli Manning hurls the rock for the Giants as they face a 9-1 Philly squad. Click here for a preview. Probably not a good day to be a Giant fan, but you never know.

There aren't that many other great matchups today. Baltimore vs. New England does look intriguing as does San Diego vs. KC.

Well, see you at the game.
