Good...Bad

Good…Road Warriors – Notre Shame, Texas and LSU all went on the road and won against Top 15 teams.

Bad…The Big 11 - Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa all went down on Saturday.

Good…Vandy is 2-0 baby!! Tied for 1st in the SEC East!! The Commodores scored 15 points in the 4th quarter capped by a 6 yard TD pass with 26 seconds to go. Vandy gets Ole Piss at home next week. A 3-0 start would be the story of the season so far in the SEC.

Bad…The Hogs. Houston Nutt and company were probably looking ahead to next week’s game at USC. Look for Arkansas to play better but end up with the same result. (Just think, Nutt was being considered for the LSU job. Ugh!)

Good…little babies.

Bad…little babies’ dirty diapers.

Good…Adrian Peterson – Oklahoma’s best player had 220 yards and 3 TD’s in a win over Tulsa.
Bad…The Sooners needed all 220 yards to beat the Golden Hurricanes at home. OU will struggle to score all year.

Good…Despite my dire predictions, Nick Saban may do well this season. Miami is off to a 1-0 start.

Bad…Saban took his fantastic defense with him when he left Baton Rouge.
Good…Perennial powers USC, Penn State, Alabama and Notre Shame are a combined 7-0.

Bad…The Sunbelt Conference is a combined 3-12 to start the season. Ouch.

Good…The Mighty Spartans pound Hawaii after getting jobbed in the islands last season.

Bad…TCU, after knocking off OU in Norman last week, the Corned Frogs lost to…SMU? Say what? (Big props to SMU head man Phil Bennett.)

THE BEST…Hurricane relief efforts by the people of south Louisiana and the rest of the United States.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST SINCE I STARTED THIS PAGE…Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco. In a time of crisis, people in authority will rise to meet the challenge or crumble under the weight of the situation. Blanco collapsed, completely overwhelmed by the duties and decisions before her. Being governor is a not a game. It is not a stepping or a line on a resume’. Her inability to act decisively probably cost people their lives. Why wasn’t the National Guard, fully under her control, sent into New Orleans in full force? Why was the Red Cross barred from bringing supplies to the Superdome? Why did she need 24 hours to consider the President's offer to send assistance? She needs to be removed from office if for no other reason than gross incompetence. I am looking forward to this commission investigating the disaster relief, I think the truth will show a good deal of the blames lies at the feet of our worthless Governor.
