Post Saturday blogging

Last night went well; my yoga teacher hosted a wiener roast out in a woody park. It was a good deal of fun.

I got in 41 miles of cycling, though I ran out of gas near the end. I have a case of the sniffles; not sure if it is allergies or something more.

Football

My picks went 11 out of 17 (against the spread) and I had 12 out of 17 the week prior to that; I have had a good couple of weeks.

I admit that I didn't see the Arkansas upset of Auburn coming.

Navy holding on to beat Air Force 24-17 was a very pleasant surprise to me; if Navy can beat Army (which is very quietly having a nice season) this will be the first class of seniors to not lose to any of the service academies. But Army won't be easy; they played Texas A& M to a 4 point game and just got through creaming VMI 62-7.

Hook 'em Horns! Texas came out and dominated Oklahoma in the second half. True, the 28-10 final score included a fumble return (on a play where a throw was on the borderline between a lateral and a pass) but nevertheless Texas dominated the hitting.
Illinois 1 game winning streak came to an end when they blew a 25-7 lead to Indiania. I suppose when the two worst teams in the Big Ten play that somone had to win.

Standford played hard but Notre Dame had too much and won 31-10. Notre Dame is a good but not elite team; their no. 12 ranking is about right.
