Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Would someone please remind Bill Parcells why Billy Cundiff was in his doghouse in the first place?

Oh, wait – never mind.&#160 Cundiff already did.

Oklahoma 42, Oklahoma State 14
#3 LSU 19, Arkansas 17
Dallas 21, Denver 24 (OT)
LDPYFL Bengals 33. Greater Houston Southside Packers 0

The Bengals, for whom the SpatulaGoddess’ squids played the year before, are on their way to Orlando to play in the national Pop Warner championship after only allowing 25 points through 13 games while scoring 20 or more in every game save one.&#160 Go Bengals!!!

…

This just wasn’t OSU’s year.&#160 The Sooners raced out to a 21-0 lead, then coasted the rest of the way.&#160 Adrian Peterson finally regained his old form after the high ankle sprain.

…

Bo Pelini’s defense was vindicated yet again:

“Time and time again we had to turn to the defense and the defense came through,” first-year LSU coach Les Miles said. “There were miscues on the offense … but the defense came to play and we won.”

LSU’s won nine in a row, and no opponent has scored more than 20 in that span.&#160 The Tigers’ defense scored yet another safety on a bad Arkansas punt snap.&#160 The safety provided the margin of victory, and once again solidified my belief that Nebraska picked the wrong head coach to lead its program.

…

Drew Bledsoe once again snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory on Thanksgiving, throwing an interception that Chump Bailey (typo?&#160 No, there’s no typo – why do you ask?) picked off and ran back for a score.

Absent that, Billy Cundiff’s 34-yard miss in the fourth quarter doesn’t seem quite os huge.&#160 But miss it he did, and despite Vinny Lite’s massive blunder, that field goal could have won it for the Cowboys.

Instead, Ron Dayne rumbled 55 yards on the second play of overtime, setting up Jason Elam for the winning field goal – and ensuring that my continued call for Tony Romo to start at quarterback – and anyone but Billy Cundiff to kick for this motley crew – will continue apace.

And with that, we bid a fond farewell to the Perfect Football Weekend for another year.&#160 My teams – the Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, TCU Horned Frogs, OU Sooners, LSU Tigers and Dallas Cowgirls – have so far gone a combined 42-13, with five games left to go for the Cowgirls, for a winning percentage of .764, and three bona-fide&#160 PFWs.&#160 Not bloody bad, if I do say so myself.

We’ll crank this back up in August 2006.&#160 Maybe by then, some&#160 football franchise will have finally realized that Bo Pelini’s a helluva coach.

Oh, and Bo?&#160 When that gig comes through for you, remember – Turner Gill’s your offensive coordinator.&#160 Take that to the bank.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Demoscum-bashing…
