UConn had to deal with the death of a teammate due to murder at West Virginia on Saturday. West Virgina's fans and team displayed quite a bit of class as they hosted, and defeated, the Huskies:


It appears Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford's career at Oklahoma is over due to injury, and that is unfortunate......Florida had quite a bit of trouble over at Miss State but Alabama was darn lucky to escape Tennessee.....Clemson outlasted Miami in a great game.....Nebraska's offense has gone missing, and since there is obviously nothing happening, the 'Huskers should start the Cody Green era immediately......USC got a hard fought victory against Oregon State, and given that, Cincinnati's victory over the Beavers looks better than once thought....LSU smothered Auburn.....Brigham Young was shut down by TCU, who looks good.....QB Christian Ponder is one of few bright spots for FSU....Nore Dame finally got a W versus Boston College....The Worlds Largest Cocktail Party is this weekend, and I will be watching....Iowa overcame a late deficit and won at Michigan State, another demonstration of the prevent defense preventing a team from holding a late lead....It has been over 35 years since my two teams, Florida State and Nebraska, have combined for so many losses this early in the season, which leads to a lot of beer drinking. I am trying to keep the faith as both still control their conference destiny, but the way it is looking, bowl season may find both as spectators instead of participants.

ESPN College Gameday is must see television, and I am thrilled Lee Corso recovered nicely from a stroke to come back this year. The show was pure comedy on Saturday, but Corso pushed the limit a bit with this commentary:

Later in the day, ABC color man and former Miami Dolphin Bob Griese, during a NASCAR promotion, inadvertently stepped in it in talking about #42 Target Chevrolet driver Juan Pablo Montoya, who incidentally, is a neighbor of Griese's down in Miami.
