A bit ashamed to say I sat and watched (mostly) college football all day (I did work the morning and could be close to submitting a contract). Great games all day. Started with Wisconsin's ot win over Fresno State, picked up in progress. Then I burned the remote between ND-Michigan (Oh, Charlie...), Tennessee-UCLA (Lane singing Rocky Top or Rocky Start?), Tiger making a mockery of another tour event, followed The Ohio State University-USC (with live cut-in to FSU-Jacksonville state. That's a victory they should vacate).


Some random thoughts.


Loved the students in the Tressel sweater vests. Bet OSU fans were ready to di-vest themselves of their defense during that last drive. They kept USC down for the entire game, with the exception of the very end of each half.


The AFLAC trivia question was when did USC last lose to a Big Ten team - should have been when was the last time Ohio State beat a team with any speed. (The answer, btw, was Penn State, behind Curtis Enis, sometime in the '90's). Also, no comparison between the qb's when the game was on the line. Which one is the true freshman?


When is the unveiling of the Touchdown Tebow stain-glass picture overlooking Ben Hill Griffin stadium in Gainesville scheduled?


The bottom line on ESPN gets quite annoying after 10 hours. Did you know that St. Francis (PA), which I think was a Division III team when I was hanging out in Western PA, beat Phil Simms' old school.


Can they make college games any longer. While the product is great, the amount of booth reviews make a long game even l o n g e r . BTW, don't think they got it right on the safety against UCLA. What a cheapshot on the QB on that play - lost a few teeth and took a nasty gash - but still got to run the victory formation in the Lane.

Maybe some real estate next time. We do need to extend the tax credit for first time homebuyers, and expand it to others if possible!

Kickoff the 22nd year in the Bucs radio booth later today. Go Bucs!
