Loyal readers of The Wisdom will notice that both my place and the wife”s shop have gone update-less since last Wednesday. I”ll leave it up to her if she wants to fill the world in on what was up, but suffice it to say we had a sudden change of plans.
I didn”t end up making my fourth LSU game (I guess that means the wife has to let me do five next year), but I did get to see the TigerVision broadcast from the official view-in home of the LSU Alumni Nashville Chapter. Apparently there are two Tiger alums in NashVegas.
But in true small-world fashion, I ended up watching the game with a couple of guys who also should have been in Baton Rouge but ended up in Nashville for the same kind of thing I was there for. And, as it turns out, they are part of the same tailgate group I would have been hanging out with. So I should have met them out back of CEBA, but I ended up meeting them on Music Row. Odd world, ain”t it?
In related news, it seems Auburn didn”t impress the humans this week, despite really dominating the nation”s best defense the same week Oklahoma beat down a horrible Baylor team. But 35-0 looks better than 21-13 to humans (computers can see through it …). I still don”t think Auburn would have a shot in a computer-driven BCS (I re-ran my numbers last night), but maybe the humans will have a change of heart when the Tigers play No. 15 Tennessee in the SEC Championship the same day Oklahoma plays a 7-4 Iowa State. We”ll see.
And, sports fans, don”t discount the idea that USC could lose before the end of the season. They play Notre Dame this weekend, and the Irish may be better than their 6-4 record would imply. Then the Trojans have to close it out with UCLA. And you have to question USC”s focus when they have Snoop Dogg hanging out at practice.
Finally this morning, Jessica Pivik is back (but not linked from the Reveille homepage) today, and thankfully she doesn”t want to be a porn star. She also makes a point to say she”s not encouraging others to do so. Thanks.
