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

Two items today before we get into our PFW:

1. Hurricane Rita has already had an impact even before it makes landfall.&#160 Texas A&M has moved its squash of Texas State U. (formerly Southwest Texas State, in San Marcos) to this evening instead of Saturday (Rice & UHouston have had their games postponed).&#160 The wager from here is that TSU would rather have faced A&M Saturday.

REF:&#160 Texas State has won the toss.&#160 Do you wish to receive?

TSU:&#160 We’ll defer our option and take the wind.

A&M:&#160 Ohhhhhh, shit…

You get the idea.&#160 Fourth down at your 1-inch line, breeze at your back?&#160 NO PROBLEM!

2. Last year, the SpatulaGoddess was a team mom for a group of Pop Warner kiddos.&#160 As such, she…how shall I put this delicately?…butted heads&#160 with some of the, ah, more vocal&#160 (read:&#160 asshole-ish) parents whose squids played on the team.

Well, this year, those squids moved to another team.&#160 And got squished by their former compadres last week, 27-0.

Ah, justice.&#160 ‘Tis a wonderful thing.

On to this week’s PFW.&#160 My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets open district play Friday night against the O.D. Wyatt Chaparrals.&#160 Heights won this game last year, 14-0, so I expect Wyatt to be out for a bit of revenge here.&#160 Look for Heights to win in a squeaker.

TCU’s Horned Frogs travel to Provo, Utah Saturday to take on Brigham Young’s Cougars.&#160 Presumably, BYU will attempt to convert the Froggies to Mormonism before ripping their secondary to shreds.

Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma Sooners have the week off – and it couldn’t have come at a better time.&#160 Casting calls are now out for anything resembling a quarterback. (Rumor has it that Vinny Testaverde tried to sneak in to audition – but he was intercepted at the door. (rimshot))

LSU’s number-three-in-the-country Tigers square off against #10 Tennessee in Baton Rouge.&#160 LSU had a tough time with then-number-15 Arizona State in Week 2, so this one kinda worries me, but we’ll see.&#160 Give me LSU with the home-swamp advantage.

And speaking of swamps, the Dallas Cowgirls head to the marshes of San Transexual for their semi-annual bend-over-and-take-it-in-the-out-dooring from the FairyWhiners.

Philadephia manhandled the Whiners last week, 42-3, but the week before ST surprised the St. Louis Rams 28-25, so I anticipate that Tim Rattay is salivating at the thought of sending Brandon Lloyd and Arnaz Battle against that shutdown tandem&#160 of Roy Williams and Aaron Glenn.

I mean, you gotta figure:&#160 If Mark “Cement Sneakers” Brunell can do it, why not Tim Rattay?&#160 Look for the Whiners in a squash, unfortunately.

Back Monday with the recap.
