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

Denizens, I’m taking time out from my sabbatical because I cannot, in all good conscience, let this pass.

Dingy Harry Reid, Tom “Flight Simulator” Harkin – front and center, both of you sons-of-crack-whore-bitches.

Let’s have a look at parts of what each of you said yesterday on the Imperial Socialist Senate floor.&#160 First, you, Chickenshit Harry Reid:

Well, if it’s not time to jump on the bandwagon, it’s definitely time to start pushing.

Arlington Heights 26, at Kennedale 51
at Texas Christian 24, Colorado State 12
UBuffalo 14, Ball State 49 (Buffalo fails to cover)
#3 Oklahoma 24, at Buffalo Chip U Colorado 27
#2 LSU 34, at Tulane 9
at Dallas 35, St. Louis 7

As expected, Kennedale trounced Arlington Heights, scoring 35 straight points during the first & second quarters to put the game out of reach.

…

Ball State put the game away in the first quarter, then used the rest of the game to beat the SpatulaSpread™. UBuff scored one touchdown each in the third & fourth quarters after State had quit trying.

…

LSU sleepwalked through the entire first half vs. Tulane – at one point, the Green Wave even led the #2 (now #1, ThankYouVeryMuch™) team in the nation, 10-9.

But Charles Scott scored a pair of touchdown in the second half, and Jacob Hester added one as the Tigers pulled away.

…

What is it with Colorado State? Every year they have an extremely big, extremely talented (to this scribe, anyway) team – and every year they play Texas Christian’s Horned Froggies and lay a ginormous egg.

The Rams’ offense pushed the Frogs around nearly at will on the first couple of drives, yet had only a 47-yard field goal to show for it. But the longer the game went, the more the Frogs seemed to wear down the Rams.

Freshman QB Andy Dalton injured his knee during TCU’s first drive and was replaced for the rest of the game by backup Marcus Jackson, who rushed on keepers for 38 yards and two touchdowns and passed to tight end Shae Reagan for another. Aaron Brown added 124 yards on 22 carries.

…

Bob Stoopes was the first to admit that OU had a bad all-around effort Saturday.

“They outplayed us and outcoached us,” Stoops said. “They fought their way to a heck of a win.”

Up 24-7 a third of a way through the third quarter, the Sooners gave up 20 straight points to an inferior team.

Yeah, I said inferior team – this is the same bunch that barely beat the aforementioned Colorado State Rams by 3 in overtime, then promptly went out and got its asses whipped by national powerhouse (*cough*) Arizona State. These guys ain’t exactly UFlorida.

Still, Oklahoma still had a chance to put the game away with a field goal of their own, but replay overruled a Sam Bradford-to-Malcolm Kelly reception on OU’s last drive. (And if I’m OU, I’m getting damned sick-and-tired of the fucking college instant-replay system. It doesn’t matter if the Sooners are in the right or wrong on these calls – they always seem to get screwed by replay, and if David Boren had any balls to speak of, he’d be screaming at the NCAA right now to do something about it.)

Memo to Mack Brown: Yeah, I know your TU Shortd…uh, Shorthorns got torched in Austin the other day. Bee Effin’ Dee™ – you’ve had it coming now for a while; you’re just lucky the Frogs don’t have an offense this year. OU’s gonna be out for fuckin’ blood Saturday, and your chain gang football team just happens to be in the way.

…

This could be a magical year for the Cowboys.

Rottie commenter JanetMae makes a good point – Dallas hasn’t really played a team of substance yet, although the Ram & Bear defenses are nothing at which one should sneeze – and, as of last night, neither is the defense of the New York Football Giants.

(Aside to leoni2: Think it may be time to return to the florescent yellow-and-blues? )

Case in point: First-half two-minute drill, Dallas third-and-three at midfield. You’ve seen the play by now – Andre Gurode launches the shotgun snap over Romo’s head at near-warp speed towards the ‘Boys goal. Romo gives chase, catches up to the ball – and kicks it further. Finally picking it up and curling to his right, he eludes two would-be tacklers (one with a nifty sidestep) and comes up the left sideline to the St. Louis 46 yardline. Four yard gain, first down. Dallas scores five plays later and never looks back.

Parcells might’ve yanked Romo for that last year and gone back to Drew “The Statue” Bledsoe, and allowed the Cowboys to lose the game. But for the growing legend that is Tony Romo, it’s just another day at the office.

Patrick Crayton had a career day yesterday, catching 7 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. Julius Jones & Marion Barber combined for 102 yards on 21 carries, Jason Witten caught 6 balls for 71 yards, and Romo was 21 of 33 for 339.

Ram quarterback Marc Bulger, playing with two broken ribs, was no match for the Dallas defense, getting picked once, sacked three times and going only 11-for-14 for 114 yards. He gave way to Gus Frerotte in the fourth quarter, after the game had been decided.

The ‘Boys will be severely tested in a couple of weeks when Bill Belicheat Belichick & the New England Pansies Peepingtoms Patriots come to town – but for now, it’s sweet to see the Cowboys taking care of business the way they need to be doing.

This week: 3-3. Overall: 22-6.

The PFW returns Friday with the question: In the Red River Shootout, will t.u. be wearing burnt orange, or prison orange???
