Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???

Another Perfect Football Weekend™ kicks off with this nugget about a University of North Texas booster who got a little pissed about the sorry way that soon-to-be-ex-coach Darrell Dickey was unceremoniously fired three weeks after suffering a heart attack.
It was either rename it, [furniture magnate Jim] McIngvale said, or redirect his money to the acclaimed One O’Clock Lab Band, the showpiece at one of the country’s top music schools. Mattress Mack was serious enough to take out a one-page ad Sunday in the Denton Record-Chronicle explaining his demand.
“Right’s right and wrong’s wrong. It’s the right thing to do,” McIngvale said. “I don’t think firing a guy three weeks after he had a heart attack was the right thing to do, either. Even Wall Street is not that callous.”
Dickey probably shouldn’t have been fired at all.  It’s not like North Texas does much of anything to support the football program.  McIngvale did the right thing here.
On to the PFW.  My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets play their last game of the season tonight agaisnt the Aledo Bearcats in Round 1 of the University Interscholastic League playoffs.  Heights is 4-5 and Aledo is 9-1, so we all know where this  is going.
Speaking of knowing where a game is going, Vegas has Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls plus 39 against their opponent this Saturday.  That opponent just happens to be the Badgers of the 12th-ranked University of Wisconsin.
Yeah.  Bucky.  The Humble Devildog’s favorite team.  If UB can just keep it in the ballpark, I’ll be happy.  (How’s that for metaphor mixing? (grin))
TCU’s Horned Frogs will have a nice time at home tomorrow afternoon against the Aztecs of San Diego State.  Even with Ballard at quarterback, SDSU isn’t expected to give the Froggies much trouble.  (Are  they, Gary Patterson?)
Also Saturday, 16th-ranked Oklahoma has about as much of a gimme away from the friendly confines as you get, as they’ll be in Waco for a date with the Baylor Bears.  OU’s a three-TD favorite on the road, and given that it’s Baylor, that may be a conservative estimate.
Fricasseed Rebel will be on the menu in Baton Rouge Saturday as Ole Miss goes into the swamp to take on ninth-ranked LSU.  No one named Manning is playing QB for the Rebels tomorrow, so Bo Pelini’s defense should be fat & happy after this one.
Sunday afternoon, the Greatest Football Team Ever In The History Of Ever, Ever™ – aka the Indianapolis Colts and All-Universe™ quarterback Peyton Manning – come to town to take on the Dallas Cowboys.  On both sides of the ball, this is the Irresistible Force™ meeting the Very Movable Object™ – Indy’s defense can’t stop the run, and, well, there’s our swiss-cheese secondary just ripe for Peyton’s picking.  Last one to have the ball wins.
I’m not looking for a second straight PFW – but stranger things have  happened, so…
We’re back Monday or thereabouts for the recap.  Now I get to hear HDD go all insufferable on me about Bucky…
