The top two teams have put some space between themselves an the rest of the pack. The Patriots are still a top tier team, despite a close loss to the Jets. It's the home stretch in the NFL, and every week threatens to make or break a season.

The Patriots have slid after a loss to the Colts, but not enough to let the Steelers overtake them. The top four are pretty tightly packed, so the second half of the season is going to go along way to determine their final ranking. The second tier is also pretty tight, with seven teams separated by less than three points.

The Coolest Thing You'll See All Day

So, we all know and love Brandon Rigoni. How many times did we drunkenly cheer as he blew holes in the opponents wedge, or absolutely light up some poor kick returner to whip Memorial Stadium into a frenzy? Tons.

Well, turns out he had a little bet going with Mark Manning (the Husker's wrestling coach). Rigoni had to score five times, on five attempts, with a running start toward a funnel at the three yard line. It's been an ongoing thing between the two of them for years, and finally, they took to the field to settle the score.

I love Husker Football.

Halfway through the season and the Patriots do just enough to stay at the top of the polls, but the Titans and Giants are charging hard. The Steelers maintain a hold in the top four, leading a whole herd of teams looking to push for the playoffs. The bye weeks will soon be over as the teams gear up for the stretch. And now, the Week 8 NFL Max Power Rankings.

Week 6 was a shakeup...with some of the top teams losing games and some of the bottom teams winning. The Patriots were able to hang on to first, thanks to losses by the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins. There is a bit of a logjam (I just got Truth's attention) for the top five spots, and an even bigger mess in the middle. The next few weeks should separate the wheat from the chaff.

Well, Reggie Bush is a legit NFL stud, but his team wasted an all-star effort. The Bills ran into a team that hit back, and lost their first game of the season. The Chiefs looked fantastic. Pittsburgh gutted out another workman-like victory. The Patriots are still the tops, but can they maintain the position with the Cowboys, Giants and Titans nipping at their heels. Here they are, the Week 6 Max Power Rankings.

Girl's Night Out

So I just get done watching Correll Buckhalter not get into the end-zone from one yard out (3 times) and I give Angie a call to say goodnight. When she answers there is a burst of laughter from 4 tipsy girls who are having a "girls night." Angie then passes me around to everyone in the the group and I make nice talk with all of them. She has to let me go and call back once everyone leaves. Then she tells me that I killed the buzz of all the girls in the group because I'm a grouch. I'm a little indifferent to this news...first, I wasn't expecting that level of energy when I called, so I think I should be cut some slack for carrying on a pretty good conversation. Second, it's good to know that I can turn off 4 drunk girls from 500 miles away.
Go Steelers!

Volleyball Iron Bowl

Like many people from Nebraska, I had never heard of or cared for the stupid Iron Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I've come to enjoy my Alabama football. The atmosphere is great on gameday and they're actually good now. Having said that..."GBR!"
Anyway, the volleyball version of the iron bowl is taking place tonight in Tuscaloosa in the CAVE where Alabama is 15-1 against Auburn since the turn of the century. We are currently trying to take our team "From Good to Great" (Which is a book, too) and we're not exactly sure which team is going to show up tonight...the great one, or the crappy one. We will see. We will see.
...The Huskers are good.

Can't spell SUCKS without KSU.

Just in case you can't see it, the score says HUSKERS - 73, WILDCATS - 31. And the little print on the right hand side says we have over 700 total yards.

Nice job Ron Prince. Oh yeah, don't forget your power towel.

spooner land

so much is happening in lincoln right now it's difficult to put it all down on the webonets. football team is a mess, and the 'skur vb team seems to be struggling right now. it will be interesting to see if / how they put it together going into the ncaa tournament.

high school season has hit the last week and the thunderbolts have qualified for state for the 13th straight year. this will be my first experience coaching in the state tournament, and i'm pretty pumped to see how this goes. max and i have friday off, so we will probably hit up a local booze house after league on thursday night.

oh, and the 50" plasma is wicked sweet too...
