New rule: If you are planning on advertising for something--use bikini women
These two sure drew a crowd today at 5th and 23rd in front of the Flatiron Building next to Madison Square Park. You know, the weather was nice, Johnny had been up to the Beacon Theater last night for the concert with Neko Case, he'd been over to St. Peter's at the Yanitelli Center for some early morning basketball, why not head back into Gotham on a nice day to sit outside at Shake Shack one more time. If you want shots of bikini women on November 17, you need to be a man-about-town. Yes if you click it they get bigger.
St. Peter's dumps Monmouth 58-34
It was a complete rout here at the Yanitelli Center, the Peacocks gave 'em hell and then some. #4 Ryan Bacon, and #15 Wesley Jenkins set the tone early, and we mean early. St. Peter's improves to 1-1 overall with the 24 point win.
Gotta say, this sure was fun. Arriving about 5:35 am and seeing everyone who was all dressed up and had been up partying all night. Now, to catch a cab back to Journal Square for the train ride up to Grove Street. Thanks St. Peter's you've made lovely hosts.

Johnny just saw a score sheet for Monmouth
They are shooting 8-37 so some awesome defense by the Peacocks today.
St. Peter's has this one about put away
As Johnny learns to post on his new phone. The excitement here outside the Yanitelli Center was at a fever pitch with costumes, coffee and darkness on the edge of town but now the Peacocks are proving waaaaay too much for Monmouth. Everyone here seems really into the 6 am idea of things and it IS fun actually. Johnny has overheard from a couple St. Peter's students classes are somewhat optional today.
41-25 St. Peter's leads here in the second half

Late night open thread
Any set with 'The Train From Kansas City' and 'Star Witness'. and 'Favorite' along with an otherwise eclectic set made for a gargantuan show by Neko Case tonight at the Beacon Theater. Kelly Hogan seemed some 17% more reserved but with all the endearing crack ups. The story about looking good after the abortion and the other then having to attend dental school, and do well, was scandalous.
'Red Tide' was the best it can be done.

Just deal with it, you know it's coming (and secretly you love it)
What if fate suddenly decided to become your best friend? Neko Case with 'Favorite'. That's Jon Rauhouse on pedal steel guitar and banjo.
This is a once in a generation voice boppers. The other one may be Rick Astley, I see he's really popular on the interwebs too.

Yes Jersey City Desk fans, it's once again Neko Case day here at the JCD
In honor of her performance with her delicious band at the Beacon Theater tonight at 8 pm (74th and Broadway) we thought we'd take some time out of our daily routines to help celebrate Neko's music.
Here she is from last time in town in mid-April on David Letterman with This Tornado Loves You'

Late night open thread
Imagine Johnny picking the Jets game wrong. It's a familiar refrain.
Tomorrow is a special day here at the Jersey City Desk, you'll find out why.

Let's talk some weekend pigskin....
First off those college scores. Only 2-3 weeks left for teams to secure bowl bids and set up conference championship battles.
Michigan State 40
Purdue 37
Don't know how Sparty, who was dominated on the stat sheet, pulled this one off but it gives them 6 wins and lands them in a lower tier bowl. That bowl could jump a notch with a win over Penn State next Saturday in East Lansing.
Wisconsin 45
Michigan 24
Unless Michigan finds a way to beat #10 Ohio State next weekend, Michigan Athletic Director's super genius hire of Rich Rodriguez will go up in smoke a second straight year. No win for Michigan, it's home for the holidays.
Pitt 27
Notre Dame 22
Pitt withstood a late Irish charge and won the game and raised their record to 9-1. Charlie "Front Butt"® Weis will be looking for a new home next year
Florida 24
South Carolina 14
The Cocks just couldn't get it done.
Alabama 31
Mississippi State 3
The Crimson Tide keep heading for that SEC title game showdown for all the marbles in a couple weeks with Florida
TCU 55
Utah 28
Horned Frog fever is sweeping the nation
Western Michigan 35
Eastern Michigan 14
EMU continues to be THE worst 1-A team in the land. We believe they are the first team to 10 losses, nice job Ron English, in over your head.
Louisiana-Monroe 21
Western Kentucky 18
Well WKU we see is still 0-10 just like Eastern but WKU is playing UP a division for the first time this year
Lehigh 35
Fordham 28
Well all that's left for Lehigh is to beat down hated Lafayette next weekend and finish tied with them in the Patriot League standings
Holy Cross 28
Lafayette 26
Ha ha Leopards, no title for you
Chattanooga 31
Citadel 28
The Citadel blew this one, they were up 21-3 at the half.
Pennsylvania 17
Harvard 7
In the battle for Ivy League supremacy it's Penn!
Today's Jersey City Desk Game of the Week
The battle of the 'Fords:
Samford 27
Wofford 24
Now let's hit the pro-game:
The Giants have a timely bye-week this week which comes at a good time so Tom Coughlin can yell at the defense for and extra week. They have been sieves of late, ALL of them. The Jets it would appear who are over at the Meadowlands this afternoon (fans are already arriving and getting their drink on) would appear to have the NFL equivalent of a bye-week as Jacksonville rolls into New Jersey. They pretty much eat suck and blow so again, expect at least a 14 point Jets win. Yes, we said this same thing about the Buffalo game.
Other games of interest find Cincinnati at Ketchup Field to play the Stoolers, of course there is that Indianapolis vs New England game this evening so many guys with man-crushes on Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will be talking about all day. Dallas at Green Bay has some intrigue to it as well. But as we all know, THE biggest game of the weekend is the Monday Night Football game between evil Baltimore (Boo hiss, why isn't Ray Lewis in jail?) and the pure as driven snow (and a cool 1-7) Cleveland Browns team, just hoping to keep losing til draft day. The Browns travel to Detroit next week for the inside track on the first draft pick, so don't miss that one.
