Sunday football thread

Well pigskin fans it's a full on weekend of head knocking fun.

The Giants are out in San Diego at 4:15 in a game one has to wonder if the Giants rebound from their recent atrocious play or if the Chargers can exploit some open spots from the tight-ends behind the linebackers to the flats the Giants have seemed baffled by in how to defend the last little while. Our guess is a fourth quarter Giants victory.

The Jets enjoy the week off as this is their BYE week for the season. It comes at a very very good time.

Yesterday's college football action was excellent stuff. Michigan State won while Michigan had their bowl hopes thrown into great peril by fudging a game at home to Purdue. Michigan MUST beat Wisconsin on the road and Ohio State at home the following week or no bowling in Ann Arbor for the second straight year.

In the Big East, leaders Cincinnati stayed perfect but by barely withstanding a furious UConn charge winning 47-45. Johnny doesn't care HOW perfect Cincinnati finishes the season there is NO WAY IN HELL the NCAA will allow them to play in the National Championship game. They'd jump a one loss team over them faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

Stanford ended Oregon's wild run 51-42, Ohio State dominated Penn State 24-7 while USC looks human more each week squeaking by Arizona State 14-9.

Of course Lehigh lost to Holy Cross 24-20 to continue their abysmal season and speaking of abysmal seasons, Northern Illinois kicked the living crap (and there wasn't much living crap left in EMU they've been beaten so badly all year) out of Eastern Michigan 50-6.

Let the NFL games begin!!!!
