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

Maybe next year, Coach Gill.

Arlington Heights 54, Eastern Hills 8

#5 Texas Christian 27, at Colorado State 0

#8 Oklahoma 28, #21 TU Hereford Cows (no balls) 20 (in Dallas)

#11 Wisconsin 24, at #24 Michigan State 34

Kansas 7, at Baylor 55

I keep thinking that some team like Eastern Hills is going to pull the upset.&#160 And I keep going to the Startlegram only to find that Heights has completely run over its opposition.&#160 Again.

Oh, well – it’s nice being wrong like that.

Heights scored the first 45 points, and basically ended it in the first quarter.&#160 Valadez was 7-12-194 and three scores, and All-Galaxy do-everything back Marquis Jackson accounted for 144 all-purpose yards (3 carries for 85, 7 catches for 59).&#160 David Clark led all rushers with 75 yards on 11 carries.

Gary Patterson doesn’t like “style points”.&#160 But they could have helped him against SMUT, and they wouldn’t have been a bad thing here.&#160 Particularly since points of any&#160 kind would have been nice in the first half.

Don’t misunderstand – Colorado State early on pretty much showed they weren’t going to seriously challange TCU all day.&#160 Problem was, the TCU offense was equally incompetent during the first half.&#160 Dalton was trying his best – and threw some decent passes during the first couple of drives.&#160 Which Kerley, Young & Bart Johnson kept dropping.

Sigh.

At any rate, a halftime message from Patterson cured all ills.&#160 The gist was, “You’re the number five team in the nation – start playing like it!”.

And they did.&#160 The opening drive of the second half took all of five plays & 80 yards.&#160 Dalton launched a 40 yard bomb to Young for the final score.&#160 And on the two occasions where the Rams did&#160 mount a threat, there was the TCU defense to knock the ball out and recover the turnover.

A very satisfying win for Patterson’s bunch, the first road shutout of the GP era.&#160 And fortunately, it’s not gonna cost the Frogs anything in the rankings.

Story of OU-Texas was who wanted to give it away more.

The Sooners pulled their season-long 4th-quarter el foldo&#160 act, allowing 10 Stubby points in the frame.&#160 The Sooners faked a field goal, then promptly lost 13 yards on the ensuing sack, turning the ball over to TU near midfield.&#160 Whereupon Garrett Gilbert immediately got sacked by the OU blitz for an 11-yard loss of his own.

After an exchange of three-and-outs and a TU field goal (cutting the lead to eight), Landry Jones nearly fumbled the game away deep in his own end, barely knocking the ball out of bounds to retain possession.

But Aaron Williams would fumble the ensuing punt, and when OU’s Adrian Taylor recovered, Sooner fans could start the whooping and hollering.

Landry Jones was 24-39-236 and two touchdowns, and DeMarco Murray added 115 yards and two more touchdowns on 25 carries.

Bucky simply couldn’t stop the Spartans when it counted.&#160 End of story.

After spotting Michigan State a 10-point halftime lead, the Badgers had narrowed it to 24-27 on a Tolzien pass to Jake Pedersen.&#160 But on the ensuing drive, State got 12 on a 3rd-and-9 at their 17, 35 on a 3rd-and-11 at their 28, and 11 on a 3rd-and-5 just outside the red zone.&#160 Kirk Cousins put the game away with a 1-yard pass to B.J. Cunningham.

Tolzien had a very pedestiran 11-25-127 with one score – fortunately, John Clay and James White combined for 178 yards on 27 carries to lead the Bucky offense.

There are absolutely no words to describe what happened in Waco Saturday.&#160 Rock Chalk flat-out got their asses whipped.

The Jayhawks narrowed the game to 17-7 in the second, then could only watch helplessly as Baylor “bear-ied” them.&#160 (Rimshot alert.)

Jordan Webb threw two picks (one a pick-six), and the swiss-cheese defense let Robert Griffin III do whatever he wanted (26-36-380 and three TD passes, plus 64 yards and a score on eight carries), whenever he wanted.

All this – against a team that TCU just demolished two weeks ago.&#160 It would have taken three SpatulaLines&#153 to supplement the 9&#189-point road dog line.&#160 Against Baylor.

One can only imagine what the rest&#160 of the Big XII has in store for Rock Chalk.

Therefore it’s time for an Executive Decision&#153 – one of two this week, in fact.

Turner Gill – get your program together and get a recruiting class or two in place.&#160 I’ll keep an eye on the Rock Chalk program, and if&#160 you’re still there in a year or two, and&#160 you’ve shown some improvement…then we’ll see.

But for now…KU is out of the Perfect Football Weekend.&#160 I actually wanna have a chance to celebrate one or two the rest of this year, and I don’t think Kansas has it in ’em to win another game in 2010.&#160 Not based on what we all saw in Waco.&#160 Ergo, Rock Chalk is gone (they will not be replaced).

That’s one Executive Decision&#153.&#160 The other is this:&#160 Because OU beat TU, I am invoking Executive Privilege&#153 and declaring this to be a second straight PFW.

It’s good to be a tyrannical Sith Lord.&#160

This week:&#160 3-2.&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved, anyway. (2)&#160 Overall:&#160 26-6.

The PFW will return Thursday, when we will ask the question, “Oh, you morons can’t&#160 be serious…?!”

UPDATE:&#160 Look, Denizens, I’m well – painfully well, in fact – aware that no one on Planet Earth gives two flying fucks at rolling donuts that I expelled Rock Chalk from the PFW.&#160 Give me credit for realizing the world doesn’t revolve around me, at least, mkay?

No one, deep in their hearts, gives a shit what John-Jack Taylor or Randy Galloway write about the Dallas C’girls, either (at least, no one outside of who pays ’em to do it), do they?&#160 They still write it, though, right?
