Huh.  I guess losing by 7 points to the Buckeyes was still a (barely) good enough showing for the Gophers to hang on to the Top 25 with their fingernails.  Who knew?

Not me.  I laughed.  ;D

Anyone else enjoying the Saints crapping the bed this year? I can't stand that franchise, largely because of Sean Payton. Anyone who constantly wears a goddamn visor deserves misery, particularly when he seems to be quite the douchebag in general.

I like Brees and the Saints but I hope they keep up the crapping for one more week. After that they can turn into the '72 Dolphins for all I care.

Nope, I've been loving the Saints' downhill slide as well.  It's been one of my few joys this season.

I'm going to have to agree with Brant on this one.  Been a Saints fan since the early 80's.  Bucs, too.

You also watched Saved by the Bell didn't you?

Both wrong.  Facts of Life.  There was something I had that I always wanted to give to Blair.  Or Tootie.

Just as well. Mailing those man-stained tighty-whiteys probably would have gotten you in trouble, anyway.  :))

Not quite - the Tar Heels still need to lose next weekend, then all will be right

I don't hate NCSU. 

Not trying to needle you, but it seems NCSU has played one quality opponent well (Florida State), beaten a bunch of wimpy teams, and gotten thrashed by every middle to good team they have played.  UNC has had some quality wins, and also some horribly embarrasing games.  They also had some narrow losses to some good opponents (Notre Dame...).

What do you really think is going to happen?  My opinion - if UNC actually shows up they will win.  If the "bad UNC" team from the first half of the season shows up State will win big.

Factual accuracy isn't needling me.  It's a young team full of redshirt freshmen on the two-deep who needed a bunch of gimme wins to get bowl eligible and pick up those extra two weeks of bowl practices to build towards next year.  It's not a good team.  There's some talent, but it's raw and still learning how to win.

If UNC's defense reverts to being UNC's defense of their other 10 games this year, they're in trouble.  Even if they play halfway competent, it'll be an uphill battle if State can run the ball.  The problem is whether or not State can run the ball.  They have to control the clock and not get into a shootout with UNC.  If State keeps UNC's offense off the field, they'll win with a game in the low 30s.  If they can't, they'll lose a game in the mid 50s.
