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

Had to dig for this nugget as we start this week’s Perfect Football Weekend&#153, but I’d heard that Chad Johnson (no, I’m not&#160 going to call him “Chad Ochocinco”, now or ever) was going to apologize for something, and while looking for a link, I found this:

Bengal Chad Ocho Cinco loves to dance in the endzone but could you see him dancing in the ballroom?

On Wednesday Hollywood director and former Bengal Matthew “Mac” Cherry sent a message to Ocho Cino’s twitter account. Cherry said he was at “Dancing with the Stars” talking to producers when they told him they want Ocho Cinco on the show next season.

Can you just see him doing his little mambo thingie on the show?&#160

On to the PFW.&#160 I mentioned the concept of “Guaranteed Win Night” on Monday.&#160 That would be tonight, as Steve Hale takes my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets up against the North Side Steers.&#160 North Side generally wins one game every three years, and this one ain’t it.&#160 Heights in a major squash.

Also tonight, Cable Nation gets to see a game they’d almost always see on Saturday, as Bo Pelini’s 21st-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Columbia, MO to take on Missouri’s 18th-ranked Tigers in a game on ESPN.&#160 The Tigers no longer have either Chase Daniel or Jeremy Maclin, but they’re still dangerous, and&#160 they’re at home.&#160 Yet, Vegas has the Huskers as a four-point favorite, which is curious.&#160 If I were putting real money on this game, I’d take Mizzou straight-up.

Another interesting thing about this game is the rankings of each team.&#160 AP has Nebraska rated over Mizzou (21-24), yet USA Today has it in reverse (18-22).&#160 We’ll see who’s right, I guess.

Turner Gill’s season of misery appears to catch a break as they get the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs at home.&#160 (Strangely enough, Wiki lists GW as a Division I program.&#160 Weird.)&#160 Vegas doesn’t even have this game rated, which leads me to believe UBeefalo will get that elusive second win.

Speaking of schools that catch a break, Bob Stoops’ 19th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners get one this week, as the Baylor Bears visit Memorial Stadium.&#160 Baylor’s lost all-world quarterback Robert Griffin for the year, and Vegas has taken note, making the Bears a 25&#189-point road dog.&#160 Given that OU is still probably peeved about UMiami, this one may not even be that&#160 close.

The “scares the crap outta me” game this week involves – guess who? – the ninth-ranked Texas Christian Horned Frogs, as they travel to Colorado Springs to take on the Air Force Academy in their first Mountain West Conference game.&#160 TCU has the Mountain West’s top-ranked defense, but Air Force is right there at number two, and the Froggie’s offense hasn’t yet gelled, which is what scares me.&#160 Vegas, though, has Patterson’s boys as 10-point favorites, so we’ll see.

Sunday is a “must-win” game for the Dallas Cowgirls as they travel to Kansas City to take on the 0-4 Chiefs.

The Cowgirls are an 8&#189-point favorite, but then they were supposed to beat Denver last week, too.&#160 One thing’s certain – lose to the Chiefs, and DFW may not see another home game the rest of the year, as there won’t be enough people want to come see JerryMahal to lift any NFL blackouts, because the season will be over at that point.

We’re back Monday for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, Bucky’s a 16-point road dog to Ohio State, so my question to HDD is:&#160 Should Bucky even bother showing up?
