Darn, I was going to pick Incarnate word over UTEp, but I believe I will go with TTU over Texas Christian.

I'll get you a line if you want. Would be a season maker for sure :).

An interesting play that I considered was arkansas st. at Toledo. Would it not be interesting to see the junior team in Arkansas do what big brother couldn't? I'll be watching for that score!

Just saying, I don't think Lil' Bro showing up Big Bro is something we want to encourage.

I wouldn't bet against it. I haven't followed ASU this year, but they've had some talent flow through that little school (before and after the big name coaches).

By the way, I checked a computer ranking source on what the Incarnate Word line *should* be. It was -21. Too little (I think). Maybe you and the computer know something I don't. I'm sure that's the case.

No ULM love?

Trivia question -- what team handed Nick Saban the worst home loss he has ever had at Alabama? (There are two correct answers, a tie.)

Yes, ULM is one of them. All 7 of the Cartwrights were there to see that shellacking. (21-14). What a fun day. Told the story before, but my son had a little Jesus figure that each student in his class was supposed to take with them for a week and take pictures. Touchdown Jesus (our version) was there at the game as well.

Lot of disappointed Bama fans that day, but to their credit, they were very gracious in defeat and had several in my section compliment the little team from Monroe, La. The funny thing is, that wasn't a very good ULM team. Saban inherited a lot of issues at Tuscaloosa, and cleaned them up in no time at all, but the timing was perfect for the Warhawks.

Darrell, you just don't know. I mean with the Pope visiting Little Sisters of the Poor yesterday, what if His Holiness showed up for Incarnate Word's game?

Boy, my BYU pick certainly worked out for me....

[Darrell KSR]

You Texas Techers were oh-so-close. Inches from the big upset. What a cruel game.
