As we launch the last episode of the Perfect Football Weekend, we’re making preparations for that favorite of all activities…

KORRIOTH:&#160 (raises eyebrow)

LSIK&T:&#160 Well, okay – second&#160 favorite.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Was gonna say.

LSIK&T:&#160 Hush, you.

KORRIOTH:&#160 (grunt)

…that being the cherished road trip.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Do we get to come this&#160 time, m’Liege?

LSIK&T:&#160 Sure, Ozy.&#160 I think there’s room in the trunk for you this year.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Aw, man

Anyway, the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian are going into hostile territory tonight – to the city of Houston, TX, to play in the Texas Bowl (formerly the EV1.net Houston Bowl) against – yeah, you guessed it – the Houston Cougars.&#160 And I’ll be right there with ’em.

MERLIN:&#160 Not terribly unlike four years ago when they hosted Boise State in their own bowl game.

LSIK&T:&#160 WHO???

MERLIN:&#160 Uh…Smurf Turf State?

LSIK&T:&#160 Better, Wizard.

MERLIN:&#160 Sorry, sir.

The Frogs are actually favored, but the entire game will hinge on how well the Swiss-cheese secondary handles the renowned Houston passing game.&#160 As it did two years ago, a field goal late will decide this one.

Small side note:&#160 Looks like the Frogs are once again the visitors, for jersey purposes, meaning they’ll wear all white.&#160 Oh, well – as long as they wear the purple pants…

Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys play a completely meaningless game against the Warshington Washington Fore Redskins to close out the NFL regular season.&#160 Other than the chance to get Terry Glenn some work and shoot for a franchise-record 14th regular-season victory, the game means less than squat.&#160 I’m not even gonna get pissed off should they lose – which’ll stick in LC John Wardle’s craw mercilessly.

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 You are&#160 the sadistic one, aren’t you?

LSIK&T:&#160 Well, I do&#160 have a reputation to maintain.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Point.

Wednesday, Jan 2, the 4th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners get their toughest test of the year when they play in the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Arizona against the 9th-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers.&#160 The Mountaineers have two very dangerous offensive weapons in Pat White and Steve Slaton, so OU needs to have a care.&#160 I like OU, though, as long as Sam Bradford plays the entire game.

Monday, January 7, the PFW is proud to say that one of its teams – #2 LSU – goes up against #1 Ohio State University in the BCS championship game in New Orleans.&#160 A home game of sorts for the Tigers, they’re actually favored in this one, by 4&#189.&#160 Look for a defensive struggle, as both defenses would give the Detroit Lions absolute hell.

We’re back Tuesday, January 8th for the recap and benediction.&#160 In the meantime, perhaps the Humble Devildog will explain why Bucky is a two-point dog to UTennessee, of all teams…

  1. The docking platform is ready, but we were not prepared to support non-human crew members Spats.

    Either they stay “guarding the ship”, or you space’em somewhere over Aggieland……

    Your choice, of course.

  2. the Humble Devildog says:

    Bucky is a 2 point underdog to Tennessee because there’s a stupid love-fest for SEC football. SEC football is good, darn good, but, there’s a couple of teams up in the Great White North that can play a little ball, too.

    Frankly, I’m surprised that the line isn’t higher. Tennessee is a good team from (supposedly) the best conference in the NCAA, and Bucky is a damn good team from a (supposedly) weak conference. But, as I’ve said before, it takes decades to establish a winning tradition, and Bucky’s only been at it for about 14 years. If Bucky keeps this up for another 15 or so years, they’ll start getting respect. Until then, they’ll only be remembered as “Oh, they play football? In what conference?” by the SEC-loving media.

  3. Might not want to say that in public, General.

    I have a Klingon manning Tactical, y’see. (grin)

  5. Klingon-Schmlingon……….

    Tactical SHOULD be manned by Checkov any day of the year, not some bumpy-skull pin cushion.

  6. Chekov wasn’t available; he wouldn’t defect.&#160 Besides, K’hadibak’h is plenty competent when he’s not tanked up on Klingon warnog. 🙂

  8. And therein lies the problem Spats…..

    When is the K’had **NOT** tanked up on Klingon warnog or if not that then Blood Wine?????

    And if not either of those, then Romulan Ale?????

    hmmmmm
