Last Night... & Tonight

So, as I said, I attended the So. Fl. @ RU game and have a few comments from the experience: -Schiano STOLE the game with a couple of gutsy fake kick calls. I said it had to be fluky, it was. -RU fans are some of the least knowledgeable I have ever come across, and I have Eagles season tickets. -I hate the rushing the field/court thing in general, but was in college once and understand the temptation. My issues with this particular rush are, first, I saw men old enough to be my father rush the field(pathetic), but second, and worse, RU fans missed the bigger picture here because if their team just took care of business when it had 10-point halftime leads against Cincy and MD, RU could have been the #2 team in the country going in to this game and this would not be a rush worthy event. Last night was more a time to lament what might have been than to celebrate. -On an additional note, I saw Erin Andrews up close a few times: -very attractive -a little awkward body-type, but still sexy -her love for sports is what puts her over, in another profession she likely wouldn't get noticed much -there was a 20-something blonde in the 6th row that should have been handed a mike and given EAs job on the spot. An RU grad I was with declared her EASILY the hottest girl ever to go to RU and I am sure he was right... Friday night is another one where I just can't figure out the line, but not so much that it needs to be steered clear of. L'ville is not as advertised preseason, but can certainly score. UConn basically took the rankings, turned them upside down, then started working its way down the list until it found someone it couldn't beat last week against UVA. That means UConn can beat teams ranked 85 and below essentially. L'ville will be inspired by last night's game knowing they control their own destiny in the Big East due to a strategic loss to a team that won't figure in any tie-breakers, 'Cuse. L'ville will lose to the better teams in the BE, but don't tell them yet. In a funny twist, L'ville actually seems more comfortable on the road this season(as disappointing teams often do) after holding the longest active home winning streak earlier this season. In the end, L'ville will score at a level UConn can't keep up with because UConn does not have the tools to exploit L'ville's poor pass defense. L'ville(-3) 45 UConn 31 [2$].
