And Base10 Fell Asleep!
Morning sports reports indicate that the Boise State beat Oklahoma last night in a wild finish. Unfortunately Base10 flew into the arms of Morpheus (the Greek god, not the Keanu Reeves character from The Matrix) at the begining of the fourth quarter. Final score: 43-42 in OT. Judging by the report, it looked like this was the most exciting game of the year--at least the part Base10 missed!

In other news, underdog USC crushed Michigan 32-18 effectively ending any "talk" about whether Michigan really belonged in the National Chamionship game. Speculation is, of course, swirling around whether Pete Carroll will flee USC for a job in the pro ranks. With the firing of Denny Green and Jim Mora, and the possible vacancy in Nick Saban's spot in Miami and possibly even Pittsburgh, there are a number of opportunities. Base10 always felt Carroll got the shaft in the NFL. He was a good coach who once got fired from the Jets to make room for Rich Kotite (what were we thinking?). He went on to win two National Championships and be a perenial BCS contender with USC and Kotite went on to--well I don't know what he went on to, really.

Tonight's BCS matchup pits Louisville and Wake Forest. Base10 has Louisville laying 9.5 points. In his pool, Base10 is now 16 of 27 against the spread. Not shabby, but likely out of the running for first place.
