CRAZY HORSE

Pity the Savannah St Tigers ...fresh off of a 84 point shellacking in Oklahoma, like Okla St...they get to travel to Florida to play Fl St...and are 70 1/2 point dogs...c'mon now...the will have earned over $800,000 for showing up and getting pulverized by their ungracious hosts...just get whupped before they return to their normal schedule and play the likes of Howard and Bethune Cookman...hey, these games shouldn't count...shouldn't get on the record...that would stop 'em... Same for that Nichols St and Oregon St game...wait, who is the patsy?...or Arkansas St that went to Eugene last week... Pads continue to be the dogs in the betting line...as they continue to climb up the standings... Chase Headley hit two dingers and is fast approaching the RBI leader in the NL...the leader!...don't know what he is doing better, but he is...and Cashner looked OK, not as fast, clocked at 94 in lieu of his 99...still...3 back of the DBacks... SDSU play Army today......

Prez O was very presidential in his acceptance speech to the Demos...his oration skills are the best...did he guide us like Prez Clinton?...yes, as he left the GOP attacks to Bill...and he stated more broad ranged plans for the country...this is what was needed...until the debates... The lines for the Oregon and Oregon St games have changed...each favoring the home team by one point more, 35 and -7 respectively...another goofy article in the Trib about the SDSU's Rocky Long's lack of use of the kicking game...supporting it...get real...it's FOOT ball...and did you see the 'Bama's coach going after a sportswriter for having the audacity to ask him about the cupcake game of Western Kentucky...ha ha, favored by 40...still bewildered by the line of the Oklahoma St (giving 10) and Arizona... PGA... Rory and Tiger in the same group...was real good golf...except, they were allowed to pick their ball up and clean it...cuz of the weather...only in the fairways...ha...

Call me Crazy (Horze), but that speech by Prez Clinton was right on...target...and he still has it...and puts the 2nd day of the convention right on...target...and concludes tonight with Prez O riding the wave of euphoria right through to the debates...and right on...target... Tickle me Elmo ... the Pads won the series at LA...as the final out was none other than the hated AGonzo. ..as he hit a hard grounder to the 2nd baseman...hey, he knocked it down, and threw the bloke out by 5 feet...with the normal jog down the baseline...he could have taken 5 crow hops...we now come home to try to catch the DBacks..who happen to be the opponent here at Petco... Arkansas St. is favored by 23 versus Memphis...what? Go fig the NFL...as the Cowpokes get a win at NY...their 6th straight season of doing so...so, I guess it does fig... The line jumped to 6, after the rumor that the SDSU Coach was practicing field goals... Del Mar finished yesterday and I was baffled by the long shots...ye...

Sad to say, but it's the final day for the races out at Del Mar ...just seemed to have flown by...and yup, I'm there...it will be crazy tough, with many hosses in every single race...not exactly sure how I'm going to bet...maybe I'll go with the red and purple silks that the jockeys wear... Wow, went to bed and the Pads were tied going into the bottom of the 9th...against the hated Dodgers...and SD pulled it out in the 11th...great news as Chase Headley was named player of the month for the NL...just a few back of the DBacks... The NFL kicks off tonight with the Giants hosting the Cowboys...I don't think I have a player on my fantasy teams from either one of them...had the QB Romo a few years back and he was just so so... Big tell tale week for the collegians ... UDub actually got enough votes to be number 26...ha ha...they go to LSU to get spanked and lose all the support they sort of got... Stanford only favored by 14 at home against football lacking D...

This is just a great day to talk about minutia....is that a word?...maybe I made it up...OK, here goes... Thanks Snooki for responding...yup, the Ducks had a great first outing, without embarrassing their opponent...and what might Fresno St. bring without their long standing coach there...Pat Hill, seemed to get a lot out of a little...the line is 34...I didn't talk about the TE, but he was very impressive... There was a blasting column in the Trib about the impending doom of this season's version of Norv Turner's Chargers ...that less than mediocrity will do the Bolts in...again...and yes, it is a rampant feeling around here...but with Phillip Rivers, there is always hope...maybe he'll call his own plays?... In this day of progressive minded football coaches, when you are stuck in the 60's type of guys, it makes no sense to stay with this guy...I'm talking the bloke who decides that he doesn't need a kicker in FOOTball...hey, as much as I dislike th...

Oops, I meant week 1 ...of the NCAA football...and those who were tested...well, there were a bunch of blowouts... Oklahoma St racked up over 80... Ohio St had 58...there were others...and the Ducks led 50-3 in the middle of the 2ND QUARTER ...and they rested their aces thereafter...and allowed Arkansas St to make the score seem respectable, 57-34...that entire 2nd half was soooo boring...the new QB?... Mariota ?...hard to believe he's only 18...had a terrific start and definitely is the one... The list of charges against the Trojans keeps getting longer and longer...but on the field, they looked like a million bucks versus hapless Hawaii...and SDSU what were you thinking?...down to the Dawg's 8 yard line...down 9 points...5 minutes left in the game...and you go for a TD in lieu of the FG on 4th down...it was a two possession score needed...booooo.... Alabama steamrolled Michigan....the Tide is very tough... Cal losing to Nevada in Berkeley...do I sense a boot for Tedfo...
