Now this is worth a bit of rejoicing, no?

Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson’s life for the past eight years; that is until last month, when Abby resigned. Johnson said she realized she wanted to leave, after watching an ultrasound of an abortion procedure.

“I just thought I can’t do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought that’s it,” said Jonhson.

She handed in her resignation October 6. Johnson worked as the Bryan Planned Parenthood Director for two years.

Praise God!&#160

Maybe Patrick Crayton should lose his job more often.

Arlington Heights 34, Eastern Hills 15

at #6 Texas Christian 41, UNLV 0

at #21 Oklahoma 42, Kansas 30

Nebraska 20, at Baylor 10

at Dallas 38, Seattle 17

From the writeup on the Startle-gram’s “hah skrewl” (a little Rush lingo, there) site, DFW Varsity:

Michael Jacobs finished with 107 yards and three touchdowns, and Dennis Brooks had a 61-yard touchdown pass as Arlington Heights won the East Zone of District 7-4A. The Yellow Jackets will meet Dunbar next week for the 7-4A title.

The Jackets escaped by the skin of their teeth against the Wildcats earlier this year, so we’ll see how that goes.

Cody Green made the first start of his Cornhusker career Saturday, and got points on his first four drives.&#160 That was enough, as the Blackshirt defense made it stand up.

Green went 12-21-128 with one pick in his debut, and added 43 yards on the ground as the Nebraska running game managed an okay 145 yards.&#160 (Mind you, I’m comparing this to the old grind-it-out Husker offenses of the past.)&#160 Don Robinson added 61 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.

The defense aided in the cause by sacking Baylor quarterback Nick Florence seven times and picking him off twice.

In similar fashion, Oklahoma jumped out to a 28-6 lead, then watched KU chip away slowly, including a nifty little 98-yard kickoff return to bring the Jayhawks within five, before pulling away late.

Landry Jones was 26-37-294 with four touchdowns.&#160 DeJuan Miller caught nine of those for 94 yards and a score, while Ryan Broyles added eight catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns.

Chris Brown & DeMarco Murray each carried the ball 15 times for 83 and 62 yards, respectively.&#160 Murray added two scores.

A last-ditch drive by Kansas was thwarted by cornerback Quinton Carter, who intercepted a Grant Gregory pass with 42 seconds left to seal the win.

Antoine Hicks reception for a long touchdown?&#160 Check.

Ed Wesley reception, tackle breakage, run-after-catch for the score?&#160 Check.

Stifling defense?&#160 Check.

Jeremy Kerley pinball punt return for a score?&#160 Well…no.&#160 Nobody’s perfect.

UNLV runs a variation of the Pistol offense, where the quarterback lines up only a couple yards behind center, and the tailback lines up two yards behind that.

For all it mattered to UNLV, though, the gun was firing blanks.&#160 TCU’s defense was all over the hapless Rebel attack; when one removes the 40-yard run up the gut by backup quarterback Mike Clausen (one-fourth of the 160 total yards by the Rebel offense), the rest of UNLV’s plays averaged 2.4 yards per.

This was over early.&#160 Once the Froggies went up 17-0 on a 59-yard jaunt in the second quarter, all 33,541 at Amon Carter Stadium could pretty much tell it was gonna be a long afternoon for the visitors.

Dalton was 12-21-178 with three TDs, but it wasn’t like he really needed to throw much – the TCU ground game was literally steamrolling the Rebels.&#160 Wesley’s 59-yarder was part of a 390-yard ground effort by the locals, with Joseph Turner (64 yards), Matthew Tucker (59 yards), backup QB Marcus Jackson (40 yards) and even Dalton himself (53) gashing the Rebels at will.

(An aside here:&#160 TCU has a freshman back named Skye Dawson.&#160 Watch this one – if your eyes can keep up.&#160 He only had 33 yards on 3 carries Saturday, but this kid has speed TCU fans haven’t seen since…well, since LaDainian Tomlinson.&#160 Yes, Dawson’s that&#160 fast – maybe even faster.&#160 He’s gonna be a good’un.&#160 You heard it here first.)

The defense held UNLV to 118 yards rushing (40 on the aforementioned Clausen run) and only 42 yards passing.

Word was that Patrick Crayton was a bit pissed a couple weeks ago at how the news regarding his special-teams/offensive demotion was handled (he said he wasn’t told about it; Coach Stay-Puf said he was, etc).

Maybe we need to keep him pissed off like that.

Crayton had a punt return for the second straight week, going 82 yards with a minute left in the third quarter that put the game away for the C’boys.

The only contact Sunday came when Crayton stiff-armed punter Jon Ryan in order to break away from the Seahawks’ coverage team for the touchdown.

“You’ve got to make the most of the opportunities you can,” Crayton said. “That’s the only way you can view it.”

All this after the ‘Pokes signed Allen Rossum off waivers to handle the return game, then got hurt on his first try.

Can anyone say “Wally Pipp”?

Romo was 21-36-256 and a passer rating of 108.1 (his third straight week over 100; he’s also gone three straight games now without throwing a pick, a career first).&#160 Miles Austin again led the way for the receivers, catching five balls for 61 yards and a score (Sam Hurd and the much-maligned Roy Williams also caught TD passes for the C’boys).

Romo was&#160 sacked twice, and normally I wouldn’t even mention it – except the sacker in both instances was none other than former Horned Frog linebacker David Hawthorne, making his second ever start.

Five runners, led by Marion Barber’s 53 on 14 carries, led a 125-yard ground attack (Crayton was “credited” with an 11-yard loss on a flubbed reverse).

Hmmm.&#160 Perhaps we need to tell the Barbarian he’s been replaced…&#160

This week:&#160 5-0.&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved (2).&#160 Overall:&#160 34-15.

Not sure when the PFW will reconvene next, seeing as I haven’t been able to find a date certain for the Heights-Dunbar playoff.&#160 When next we do&#160 meet, though, we’ll discuss the revenge motive, plus remind Gary Patterson that this coming week is an “attaboy/awshit” game, too.

Stay close and watch this space.
