Purdue Boilermakers

The first weekend of college football is nearly over; we've got the 2nd half of the Colorado vs. Colorado State game and tomorrow features Cincy vs. Rutgers and Miami vs. FSU.  I do have some interesting thoughts on the opening weekend.

Well, if you followed me it looks like you cashed in with plenty of room to spare on the Tulsa/Tulane game.  No big deal; it's just what I do.  I win college football bets.  1-0 posting here on the year.  For those of you keeping track at home that is a 1000% winning percentage.  Undefeated some of us like to call it.  That makes me better than Rocky, who lost a lot.  Has anybody ever noticed that about Rocky?  He lost to Apollo, beat Apollo, lost to Clubber, beat Clubber, beat Drago, beat Tommy "Machine" Gunn in an unsanctioned fight (doesn't count for the record), and lost to Mason Dixon.  That's 3-3 in fights that I've seen him in, and the guy has 5 movies!  Unreal.  He supposedly defended his title 10 times before losing it to Clubber, but I don't know about that.  All I know is that he's not smart, but he takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.  Any Stratford football fans out there, that might remind you of one:  Mike Wilke.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Big 10 Network.  You see, I am from Wisconsin, land of cheese, cows, brats, burgers and Big 10 Sports.  The weather, the game atmosphere, the rivalries, the fans, and the ugly fights in the trenches appeal to me.  So, naturally the Big 10 previews, the classic games, and the live games are amazing to me.  Look, I hate Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, and Ohio State; I mean really hate.. yet, here I tun in and watch Iowa beat LSU on a hail mary, Michigan vs. Ohio State, Ohio State's improbable win over Miami.  Why?  I think they are clearly great games; I know the players, the tradition, and the result.  I laugh to myself watching Jeff George sling the rock, ol Jess Settles battling in the paint, and seeing Desmond Howard strike the pose.  Just classic.

Crank up the Victrola the dance is about to start again.

After a long week of wishing it was Thursday, the day has finally arrived and the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament is ready to resume. And tonight's games should provide a good wake up call that March Madness is back in full swing.
