   USF is 10-0 in home openers at the Ray-Jay. Coach Holtz is talking up Chattanooga, which means it should be a blowout.

   Rosanne agreed to watch the UT – WYO game with me at Scholz’s Biergarten tonight, but I had to agree to leave with her to do something she likes at halftime.

   There has been this ongoing controversy about the Longhorn Network – all UT, all the time. ESPN is paying UT $300M for it, but no one in Austin is carrying it. ESPN wants too many $$$ for the package. The first two games, against Mountain West teams, are only on LHN. Thus the “private” showings.

   The O’Brien era gets off to a poor start: Ohio, 24-14.

   Huh–I thought your alma mater was Syracuse, Scott, I’ll add BC to the mix. Go Eagles!

     I grew up in Syracuse, and am a huge fan, especially for hoops. But I graduated from BC.

   Mike:

   I was of two minds as to whether or not to root for PSU today.

   Mark:

   So what does Roseanne have in mind?? We had a similar controversy with TV rights a couple of years ago before Utah joined the Pac12; TheMTN carried (exclusively) all of the Mountain West team games, but it was only available on DirectTV. I’m sure that wasn’t more than a gnat’s share of the decision, but it was part of the decision for Utah to leave the Mountain West–alumni grumbling can carry more weight than expected sometimes.

   I hope that you and Roseanne have fun for the second half!

   Well, then, I’ll continue to include Syracuse for the same reason I include UM. Fourteen years in Ann Arbor left their mark! Not to mention that my entire family (literally) graduated from UM.

    PSU was a big part of my life. It was my first introduction to big time DI football, so I’ll always root for them. Those kids in the blue and white had nothing to do with Sandusky.

    True. And at least now they get to wear their names on their backs. I’ll include them next week!

    Yep. That said, I am not a UM fan at all, even though I grew up about 25 minutes away from Ann Arbor.

    Brent: where? Saline? Chelsea? I grew up in Whitmore Lake, technically, although I attended A2 schools until high school, when my folks moved to Clinton (intersection of US12 and M52 right across the line in Lenawee County).

    McWing: hey, it was a win at least!

    Toledo. Which made me an OSU fan growing up, so the only time I can ever root for UM is when they are in a bowl game.

    Okie, did you see the Land Thieves’ game with mighty UTEP?

    Or OkieLite’s merciless scrimmage with The Little Sisters of the Poor? I heard T. Boone paid those nuns to come to Stillwater.

    John Denver–Saturday Night In Toledo

    Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all.
    All through the day how the hours rush by, you sit in the park and you watch the grass die.

    Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight, when shadows of night start to fall.
    They roll back the sidewalk precisely at ten and people who live there are not seen again.

    Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana and a salesman from places unknown
    all huddled together in downtown, Toledo to spend their big night all alone.

    You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio? Well I spent a week there one day.
    They’ve got entertainment to dazzle your eyes: go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise.

    Ah, but let’s not forget that the folks of Toledo unselfishly gave us the scale.
    No springs, honest weight, that’s the promise they made,
    so smile and be thankful next time you get weighed.

    And “wive and wet wive”, let this be our motto, let’s let the sleeping dogs lie.
    And here’s to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio, ladies, we bid you goodbye.
