Duke is still being under-rated...  Hard to believe I'd say that about a football team.

How did UCLA jump from 18 to 11.  They beat an unranked Washington.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.


Martok

So bizarre to see Minnesota rated in the Top 25 for anything other than hockey and wrestling (or occasionally basketball).  :o

I'm looking forward to Lions v Cardinals.  Nobody is talking about it, but the NFC Championship game could be a rematch of this contest.

Well it was nice it lasted.  At least they didn't get blown out.  Considering how the Gophers have done the last umpteen seasons, losing to Ohio State by just seven points ain't half-bad...and being 7-3 is still a minor miracle for them.

It's like that that joke about Red Shirts vs. Stormtroopers:  The Stormtrooper fires at the Redshirt and misses; the Redshirt falls over and dies anyway.  ::)

That there's a serious possibility of either of these teams going to the Super Bowl automatically triggers the Twilight Zone music to start playing in my head...

Am confused.  Why is the Vikes-Bears game on CBS (instead of FOX)?  I thought they covered only AFC teams.  ???

...And J.J. Watt just caught a touchdown pass for the Texans.  Man, this cat can do anything.

Latest TV contracts allow for some crossover between conferences during the season

Arctic Blast

Yeah, the Vikings plan of matching up one on one with 5 foot 9 corners against 6 foot 4 receivers was...interesting.

Could be worse, you could be cheering for the Redskins. When your fan base is actually calling for Colt McCoy, your team is a steaming pile.
