Pretty Good Weekend for Football

As football weekends go, this was one of the better ones.

My alma mater, Northern Illinois, actually WON a game against Kent State. It was our SECOND victory of the season 2-8. Then there was that great Illinois upset of #1 Ohio State and Wisconsin did a number on Michigan. I like all the Big Ten, excuse me, Eleven, teams except the Buckeyes and Wolverines.

Northwestern beat Indiana. #22 Tennessee beat Arkansas and #10 Georgia did the same to #18 Auburn.

That Navy-North Texas game must have been really something with Navy winning 74-62. Imagine 136 points in a game!!

Yesterday, the Pack rolled easily and now have an 8-1 record. Favre is having a great year and he finally has a good team around him.

My favorite pro team, the Bears played an equally inept Oakland team. For a long while it looked liked the final score would be 3-3 until the fourth quarter when things started happening. The Raiders scored a field goal, then Rex Grossman connected on a long TD pass. Final score was a 17-6 Bears victory to bring the record to 4-5.

A lot of rebuilding has to be done for next year. We need a qb, another rb, an offensive line, and a defense. Last year, it was the defense that got the Bears to the Super Bowl, but something happened this year. The heart is just not there, and I'm not just talking about Briggs' driving habits.

Love That Football. --RoadDog
