In this frenzied era of new stadiums for football teams, the Noo Joisey Football Giants and the Noo Joisey J-E-T-S JetsJetsJets! have agreed on new digs of their own.
The New York Giants and Jets agreed Thursday to build a stadium in the Meadowlands that would become the first NFL venue to be owned and operated by two teams.
The facility will be built near state-owned Giants Stadium, which is currently home to both teams and is among the league’s oldest stadiums.
Specific details about the stadium plan are to be developed over the next several months, including its new name. The teams plan to put the naming rights up for bid.
Oh, I can see it now:  “Sopranos Stadium at the Meadowlands, featuring Hoffa Field”.
On to the PFW.  My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets will have one of their toughest tests tonight at 7:30 against the Western Hills Cougars.  This game invariably comes down to a field goal or less, and I expect nothing different here.
The Horned Frogs of TCU are at home Saturday against the New Mexico Lobos in what could be the game for the Mountain West Conference championship.  It’ll come down to which TCU secondary shows up – the brick wall that shut down Utah, or the Swiss Cheese Brigade™ that tiptoed past Brigham Young.
Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma Sooners welcome the Kansas State Wildcats to Norman for a Saturday evening Big XII matchup.  Darren Sproles is no longer there to terrorize the Sooner secondary, but this game is still not a gimme.  OU in a squeaker.
Fourth-ranked LSU (how’d they manage only dropping one spot in the polls after choking against Tennessee?) travels to Mississippi State tomorrow for an afternoon tilt.  If Les Miles is worth his salt as a coach, and LSU is of a mind to take out last week’s loss against the next opponent, MSU is in trouble.  But we’ll see.
Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys have their second of two straight games in the Bay area, this time against Th’ Raaaiiiiiduhhhs  of Oakland.  Al Davis would be better served sending his rabid fan base out against the Boys, but just watch:  Oakland has Randy Moss – and Moss traditionally torches the Cowboys.  Sad to say, I have to pick Oakland to get its first victory this year in a big way.
We’re back Monday for the recap.
