October 14 Babbling Brook of Babbling

Got to watch Clemson lose in a fun game, then wake up to see Wazzu got whipped by Cal.  Wife is going out of town so it's just me and the girls and the dogs and maybe a few pints of Oktoberfest.  Need to take a look at the schedule and figure out what ho wmuch whining I'll get from the kids that I'm watching football all day.

Noon kick for Michigan and the Hoosiers.  Definitely watching that one.  My secretaries at work are Michigan fans and they call O'Korn "Okra."  Which works. Okra v. the Hoosiers

Can't believe that Clemson lost to Syracuse. Just shows you how hard it is to win every single week in the P5.

Which just goes to show you how insane Urban's record is at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and now Ohio State. He's 170-30 at those 4 stops thus far. He's won 85% of his games in his career. Just insane. Same thing with Saban who wins 86% of his games at his stint at Alabama- he's 120-19- and 6 of those 19 losses for Saban came in his first year. He's only lost 13 games in the last 9 and a half seasons. Crazy.

Normally keep close enough tabs to at least know an upset happening, but went with my brother to a Halloween event last night and looked down to see a bunch of texts on a group text after Clemson lost.  Very fun.

tell ya what- that MSU loss for Michigan still stings- but maybe not quite as bad after seeing #2 Clemson lose to an unranked 3-3 Syracuse team that had lost to Middle Tennessee State. Or #8 Washington State- who were 17 point favorites- losing by 34 points to an unranked 3-3 Cal team that had been blow out by Oregon and Washington.

Don't get me wrong- losing sucks- but it just puts things into perspective. Hard to win every single week. Media lost it's mind and tried to manufacture controversy when Harbaugh lost a game. Imagine if Harbaugh had lost a game by 34 points in which he was a 17 point favorite? The me-idiots would've lost their damn minds.

We may just look back at this point in the season and think Harbaugh has them right  where he wants them.

With that defense, and just a LITTLE bit of rhythm on offense, they still have the horse to beat anyone on their schedule.   I for one want to see how PSU, Wisconsin and OSU try to move the ball on them.  

I think they smash the Hoosiers today.

My early read on the Wolverines were they reminded me of the '02 Buckeyes, with a near impenetrable defense and an uphill battle on offense.  But the Bucks had Michael Jenkins and Maurice Clarett.  The Wolverines don't seem to have much in the way of playmakers.

I heard this week Saban has won 70 straight against unranked teams.  That's an insane streak of not having a single slip up.  The all time record is 73 by the Geno Toretta era Canes.  So either that record is about to be broken it we haven't seen the craziest upset yet.

I got stuff to make pizza with the girls.  I got the premade Boboli crusts, which aren't too bad.  Homemade pizza crusts are fine, I've done them before, but when doing them in the oven I don't get enough heat to justify them.  Plus they are a pain in the ass.

Try offset on the grill

Oh I've got a whole setup on the grill, but it's kind of a pain to set up for a couple pepperoni pizzas.  But there I can get temps over 900 degrees.
