Recipe For Disaster

If you happen to be an undefeated college football team, may I suggest that you beware 1 second remaining during road games against teams wearing black jerseys?

I just watched Penn State lose its first game of the year to Iowa on a field goal with a tick left on the game clock, painfully reminiscent of Texas Tech's last second touchdown a week ago to defeat the previously undefeated Longhorns. The mob scenes were very similar and I know how sad a moment it was for Penn State fans (though I was rooting for them to lose as that clears out a team from ahead of Texas in the rankings) and how exciting it was for a proud program looking for something to build on toward the next level.

Now, if only LSU were wearing black!

Ziggy,

Can we please never mention the Tech loss again? I turned on the Tech-OSU game the other day to root against them...just in time to see them showing "highlights" from the Tech-UT game and it was horrid to watch it again. So please do not mention it.

Everybody eats lots of orange!
