Weekend in Football...

We'll go in reverse...

Cowboys win over Buffalo on Monday Night Football... Whoa... Tony Romo throws 5 interceptions, and is only the 2nd QB in NFL history to do that and still win. Here's my question. Before Nick Folk kicked the game-winner, how was Patrick Crayton SOOOOO wide open near the sideline for the 4 yard gain to get Folk to attempt a 53 ayrd field goal??? The defensive Coordinator for Buffalo lost that game, not the Bills.

Anyhoo, it's a good thing that the Bills stripped T.O. of the ball for the 2 point conversion, or Buffalo would have won this game. As fugly as it was, it was an emotional win, and now the Cowboys have to regroup for the Patriots on Sunday. Good thing it's a Texas Stadium.

1 note on Nick Folk. When the Cowboys drafted him in the 6th round, Colorado kicker Mason Crosby was still on the board. Good thing the Cowboys picked folk. When the Bills tried to ice him, they found out that he has icewater running through his veins....



Where do the NMSU Aggies go from here? They get crushed in front of a national audience Sunday night against Boise St. on ESPN, which, arguably, does as much bad as their win over UTEP did good. Chase Holbrooks still has the rib injury (or re-injury). Now that NMSU Football looks to have taken a U-Turn for the worse, Hal mumme has closed practice again this week, and I'll bet it's that way for the rest of the year. Makes it hard to cover a team. Although, if I was subject to this creativity for 3+ hours, I would close more than practice:



After 2 thrillers, UTEP looks to be on the road to a bowl game for the 3rd time in 5 years. After beating Tulsa and SMU late, East Carolina will be their toughest test of the year. ECU and UTEP are now the top 2 teams in CUSA, and the Miners will ahve to continue to run. Eric Price will have to continue to wave the alternating QB magic wand again. The ECU linebacking corps isn't healthy, and they may have 3 that play regularly out, with 2 of them being starters. If you want to see ECU Coach Skip Holtz talk about the Miners go here.

Last but not least, Mike Sellers is one tough &*%^@#*...



Goodnight now!
