Afterbirth (Week 7)

You know... the stuff that just kind of falls out when the party's over.

Another Top 5 Bloodletting

For the second year in a row, week 5 proved to be dangerous to ranked teams. (Week 5 Afterbirth Here) Week 7 wasn't much different. Three of the top five teams lost when Texas beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma State beat Missouri and Florida beat LSU. The race for the national championship is once again wide open. The remaining unbeaten teams play each other, for the most part, and previously once-beaten teams like Georgia, Florida, Southern California and Ohio State have renewed hope.

Mister Happy

As a Gator fan, I must say I was extremely happy after Florida beat LSU Saturday night. Not as happy as this guy, but almost:



Oh wait. He's ringing a bell at a Texas Tech game.

Holy Toledo!

How miserable are Michigan fans right now? They're still trying to forget last year's shocking season-opening loss to Appalachian State, and then the Wolverines turn around and lose at home to Toledo. Yes, that Toledo. The Rockets. The team that was shut out at home by Ball State last week. Michigan is now 2-4, and, as a reward for their ineptitude, they get to visit unbeaten Penn State this week. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.

The Burning Sunday Question

What if the hokey pokey really IS what it's all about?
