    Is that the path down to the Latrine? :)

    Looks awesome, fall colors and mountain air! I looked it up and it's an interesting place no doubt. Small to say the least, Pop 250 and there is one highway in and out of the area! How'd you even find it? The wiki said they used to ski but some corp bought out the area and closed the skiing down and now it's golf , tennis and swimming. I doubt you'll be doing any of that though! :)

    I'm waffling on Tenn right now, Kentucky isn't really a great football team and Tenn has better players. But with Kelly suspended and the other kid is a starter on defense, so I'm wondering if this and the continuing controversy over what to do with Butch Jones is too much to overcome for the Vols.

    My original thought was the Vols lost to 2 top 5 teams and at least on the road at Alabama they had some fight in them in the 1st half, so maybe Kentucky would be the game that they came out and played to their talent level and beat Kentucky.

    Not so sure now.

    BC is thrashing FSU. Not sure Jimbo's freshman QB is going to survive the night.

    It's 35-3 at the moment, I'm not sure Jimbo cares at this point

    After the Irish got through with BC a few weeks ago, I thought they were going to struggle to win any games this year. Now they are on some what of a tear. I had BC in the contest, seeing how they played in the last two games and all the issues FSU had I thought maybe BC had a chance. Sadly I only put 1 point on the game!

    I did have 20 on Memphis though! :)

    FSU just doesn't look well coached at all. Bad football decisions and poor execution. BC played well and took advantage when FSU screwed up. What happened to all of those top ranked recruiting classes?

    Today is going to be a big challenge with the Buckeyes playing Penn State here in Columbus. We are favored by 5.5 points, but the game can go either way. Should be a great game and I am hoping J.T. can keep up with his passing game.

    The Nits have a great defense, so it will be a close game in my opinion. Rain this morning but will be dry by game time at 3:30. Might even experience a few snow flurries?

    One thing for sure Don, cold weather and even some snow won't bother either of these teams.

    I keep hearing that the key to the game is PSU QB McSorely not Barkley. They say Ohio State hasn't seen a QB and WR's like the ones at PSU. Also though that PSU hasn't seen a front 7 like the Buckeyes.

    I'd agree it's likely a close game.

    The OSU-PSU contest was an incredible game to watch. The game started intense right from the opening kick off with Barkley's TD return and stayed intense through the final seconds.

    Although there is a lot of football left to be played, my guess is that this game featured the two best teams in the B10 by far.

    I didn't watch the game but the Arz vs Wash State game sounds like it was a great game if you were an Az fan. I guess Rich Rod has found a terrific QB and the Wildcats looking like they will finish the year strong. At the start of the season RR was one of those coaches on the hot seat....now he's back to being a hot coach.

    USC found the mojo that it lost vs the Irish and demolished the Sun Devils again a game I didn't watch but the highlights show a resurgent USC. Next week they'll play another resurgent team...Arizona. Real battle out west int he Pac12 South. Washington based on their win is in control of the Pac12 N. Still a lot of games to go.

    I can't believe that TCU spit the bit against Iowa State, not that Iowa State is not a legit team, but I really thought this was going to be a special year for TCU. I never thought they'd get limited to 7 points that's for sure.
