Not leavin the sofa all day. Hope this giants/cowboys game lives up to its billing.


Edit: So far so good. Tony Curtis touchdown, assuming the extra point - 7-0 cowboys.

The seeding system is strange over here, but so far, the number 1 team, and 4 teams who were at a time ranked number 2, have all been beaten by unranked opposition. USC being beaten by stanford might have been the upset of the season so far.

does anyone actually understand it? last year was a bit of a mess...

[Balboa]

Ah well,same old Browns. Had a chance to beat Steelers and blew it, Anderson threw for 3 TD's but only 127 yards. He has to be the biggest surprise of the year and if he keeps this play up the Browns may have to think of trading Brady Quinn for a 1st Round pick next year as they need help on defensive side of the ball.

17-17 at half-time. Good game so far but a few schoolboy penalties.

HOW IT WAS DONE: Using time-lapse photography, Journal Sentinel photographer Tom Lynn offers a day in the life of a game at Lambeau Field. Tom began by stationing a Canon EOS Mark II digital camera, mounted with a 16mm lens, atop the southwest corner of the stadium, encapsulating the entire bowl of the stadium with the field at its core. Powered by an external battery pack, the camera automatically fired every 20 seconds, shooting from 9:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., capturing the stadium as it filled with fans, as the game unfolded, and as the stadium emptied. The entire process captured 1,194 total images, which have been compressed into this two-minute video.

Big game for Nevada tonight against BCS bowl and Heismann candidates Hawaii and Colt Brennan.


LETS GO WOLF PACK LETS GO

[Puckoon]

7 seconds on the clock, Hawaii hit a 45 yard field goal to win by two points. Granted their second string quarterback was playing, but still it would have been nice to beat them.

Buckeyes @ Wolverines in a half hour 

[Puckoon]

Do you think the wolverines can cause an upset?

Some season for notre dame, ESPN billed the loser of their game with Duke as "The worst team in the country"
Some fall from grace.
