Guys, as we embark on another PFW, I’m going to refer you back to this fine rant keyed by yours truly about one year ago.

Nothing’s changed – OU-Texas is still being called the (hack, spit) Red River Rivalry&#160 (hack, spit) by pussies who wish that football was tiddlywinks.&#160 A pox on them all.

On to the PFW.&#160 Gary Patterson’s TCU Horned Frogs, having suffered a complete drop from the polls due to last week’s embarrassment at the hands of BigamYU, proceeds to go 0-for-Utah tonight in Salt Lake City against the University of Utah Utes (or, if you prefer, the UUUs).

Utah got their asses handed to them by Boise State last week on that TV-tube-melting blue crap they call a football field, so the Utes will be looking to take out their frustrations.&#160 A task at which TCU seems to excel perfectly.&#160 And Patterson did his radio show this week, so the Froggies aren’t anywhere near&#160 prepared, so you can have the Utes, but I want 38.

UPDATE:&#160 Oops.&#160 That whipping at Boise State’s hands wasn’t on the Smurf Turf&#153.

The game was in Salt Lake City.&#160 Ouch.

I should mention that TCU’s hopes did&#160 get a boost this week.&#160 Jeff Ballard’s shoulder seems to be bothering him, so we may see Marcus Jackson start this week.&#160 That’s Marcus Jackson as in “faster, better-armed, quicker” Marcus Jackson.&#160 So we’ll see.

Friday evening, my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets go “on the road”, as it were, and open district play against the Eastern Hills Highlanders, home of the hottest cheer…hmmm, I’d best not.&#160 Don’t wanna be accused of being a Mark Foley.&#160 &#160 Anyway, unless Fort Worth football has deteriorated like Heights’ program has, this is gonna be ugly.&#160 May be so, anyway, who knows?

Saturday, Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls are at home against Ball State.&#160 State’s actually favored by 5 or so in this one, so this game actually looks winnable.&#160 As per usual, however, we’ll go with how they do against the spread (which at publication time was UBuff plus 5&#189).

Also Saturday, ninth-ranked LSU travels to the Florida swamp to play Urban Meyer’s fifth-ranked Florida Gators.&#160 The Tigers are favored here, but it’s too close to call (Vegas has Fla at plus-1).&#160 If&#160 LSU wins, it’ll be because of Bo Pelini’s stifling defense.

And last, but not least for Saturday comes the aforementioned OU-Texas shootout.&#160 As everyone knows, Texas smashed the Sooners last year, but they’re not the same team without Vinnie “Oops, Terrance Newman just picked one off” Young, something which Ohio State just got through proving.&#160 Still, the Shortdicks are favored by between 4 and 5, so we’ll see.&#160 I’m gonna go with OU on a late Adrian Peterson touchdown.

Finally, the Dallas Cowboys travel to the City of Brotherly Shove, Filthydelphia, to take on The World’s Greatest Quarterback In The History Of Ever, Ever&#153, and the rest of the Beagles.&#160 All eyes will be on one Widdle Terri Owens, and how he does against the teeth of one of the NFL’s best defenses.

Terri – should you be fortunate enough to get in the end zone Sunday – I’d be inclined to overlook any…uh…”celebration” you wished to perform.

We’re back Sunday for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, Humble Devildog – how’s Bucky doing?
