Thanks to the Cards, who may have notched their last W of the year, the surprising Blue Devils and the Mighty Mighty Quack, I went 3-2 last week. The tally for the season is 26 up and 19 down. Not enough to pay for a trip to Vegas, but not bad.
Boise State @ Louisiana Tech. [...]

Some quick observations on the Louisville/ Bellarmine match up that was far less scintillating than I thought it would be.
Speaking of quick, can Preston Knowles elevate and launch in a nanosecond? Yes he can. But I digress.
As for the kids who trekked down Eastern Parkway from their Norris Place home, Scotty Davenport’s Bellarmine Knights simply [...]

The Chicago Bears are trying to be a contenda in the National Football League with five — count ‘em, five — players on their roster from Vanderbilt? From Monsters of the Midway to Phantoms of the Opry.
The Tennessee Titans, who started last season 10-0, have started this one 0-6. They’ve lost their las two by [...]

As these annual affairs go, U of L’s sold out basketball luncheon was no more and no less illuminating than usual. These are usually love fests, celebrations by the faithful that the best time of the sports year is about to begin yet again.
Louisville fans, like UK believers yesterday at the Coach [...]

And I don’t need to be tellin’ ya what I’m talkin’ ’bout.
Coach Cal was in town today to regale the Big Blue Contingent.
Tomorrow (Thursday) is U of L’s basketball luncheon. Which will be interesting if only to see how Rick Pitino is greeted by the Red & Black Nation.
So, I’m starting to get my hoops [...]

Another 2-3 W/L last week has me teetering on the cusp of falling below .500 on the year. Not a good thing. But I stand 8-7 on the annum and I may be reelin’ and rockin’, but I’m also rollin’ to the break of dawn. With new enthusiasm.
So here go five more picks sure to [...]

The lack of stirring bon mots is obviously the surest sign yet that Howard Schnellenberger has not fully recovered from his Fighting Owls decimation at the hands of Nebraska’s Cornhuskers the Saturday before last. As a result, SchnellSpeak has been in a state of forced hiatus for the last few days. I hope withdrawal symptoms [...]

Don’t I know that Ramblin’ Wreck? That Anthony Allen fellow who ran for 128 yards in only five carries for Georgia Tech last night sure did look familiar. Didn’t he used to play somewhere around here? I swear I know that name. Seems like I’ve seen him somewhere before, you know, wearing red and black [...]

After the Nebraska debacle — a 3-49 FAU loss — The Displeased Schnell said he was going to take his team to “the woodshed.” Coach doesn’t kid around when he says such things.
The Fighting Owls are practicing every day during this off week. So, with apologies to Gold Hat, a character in “Treasure of Sierra [...]

Marquis Teague is being touted as the most important recruit of Rick Pitino’s tenure at Louisville.
I’m advised he has been sighted today visiting U of L along with several other high profile prep ballers.
