Speaking as a diehard Oakland Raider's fan, I find myself surprised at the failure by the management to draft a young and able quarterback. Al Davis was staring into space when he had the prospect of selecting Matt Leinart as a quarterback for the Raiders and instead picked a safety. Oakland's defense certainly isn't top notch, but it can be argued that their offense is about as hopeless as a sit in at a Neo-Nazi training ground.
So, that lead me to this question, will the Oakland Raiders of the AFC West put up at least a one under the win column this year? My answer is yes, based entirely under the pretense that eventually someone will get sloppy and allow Oakland to skid to its worst record...ever. At first I thought Art Shell was a godsend, now I'm starting to question my sanity.
In other football news, props to Boise State who may very well become one of the only undefeated teams in NCAA football this year.
Many people are betting the farm on Ohio State, Michigan or Florida to go undefeated, unfortunately for them, Florida will play Arkansas and Auburn who may yet put a digit under Florida's loss column. Ohio State has a tougher schedule sitting in front of them soon enough and finally, whoever hasn't suffered a loss yet will when Ohio State and Michigan face off at the end of the year.
But what about USC...? That's right, I forgot about the unstoppable Trojans, I predict their loss to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and if not them, Cal has shown itself (since losing horribly to Tennessee) to be worthy of knocking them off their high horse.
My final thought of this blog is "Where have all the Cowboys gone...?" The Wyoming Cowboys have had a tough time of it this year, losing to teams by seven points or less in each losing outing. Since last year the Cowboys have had a looming shadow of failure on the road and at home, up until this last week (with a victory over New Mexico by 4) I would've believed all the garbage that was talked about them in the MWC. However, the arrival of a fresh young arm and cunning mind on the field at quarterback in Karsten Sween has eased my mind about the future of the Cowboys for this season. Though a bowl game seems out of the question, Sween appears to have the field awareness to take the Cowboys out of the MWC "Lobo"-house.

so you're a big time blogging man now!! YAY! I hope you enjoy. I would encourage you to add a short description of your blog, which you can do under settings, basic. Otherwise, you're set:) LOVE!!
Aha, interesting. Well, we all sell our souls in one way or another eventually, don't we? OK, I'll bite. No to Condoleeza Rice. The minority card on two counts is not the way the Republicans will go. If I am incorrect, I will purchase a cold beverage for your imbibing pleasure the next time I see you after we know the truth of this matter. Furthermore, no to Hillary. At least you Dems had better say "no to Hillary." Take my advice- or don't. I don't particularly care because being a Libertarian, I can sit back and watch the circus and laugh- or cry, depending on whichever mood happens to strike me out of the blue, as moods so often do to me. Forget about Nader, too. Why don't we all just suck it up and admit out loud that the way to go is a grass roots people's movement. Why continue to let the big dudes with money call the shots for us, when they don't have the slightest idea what it's like to be a "regular" American trying to hold down at least one probably-underpaying job (or being a mooch, as at least one of us has admitted here in cyberspace.) As for Wyoming and Gary Trauner, get out the vote. It IS the year for Barbara Cubin to go down, and this man is dedicated, or so it seems. Yes, he has been out pounding the pavement, going to people's homes, talking to "regular" Wyoming folks and NOT 1) making campaign promises he can't keep or 2) posting mudslinging ads like our Resident Toolonginoffice Republican has been. Is that all she has to stand on? Yup, appears so. Enough from me. Thanks for letting me know you're out there. And the Devil will want his due.
