I'll probably watch South Florida vs UCF and/or Texas Tech vs Texas.

Full day of games tomorrow with #7 Baylor at #19 TCU at 7:30pm on ESPN.

My heart is with TCU.  I lived down the block from them for a couple of years and had friends who were teaching there.  They are such a little bitty college but every once in a while they come up with an exceptional football team.

Yeah, even with all the hype about Romo playing....they're just terrible..

Rodgers last night, got a taste of what Cutler's been through over the years....receivers with butterfingers....and a rainy night with those balls being slippery didn't help a bit either......

So Wednesday afternoon I asked one of my nephews, a Bears fan, if he wanted to place a bet on the Packer/Bear game.  He says "I'll bet you $5.00 the Packers win."  I said "I'm tempted to take you up on that"  Yesterday afternoon I asked my other nephew, also a Bears fan, if he wanted to place a bet.  He says "I'll bet you $20.00 the Packers win"  I said "I'm tempted to take you up on that."

I should have taken them up on that.

Good job on starting the week 3/3 Jon and congrats to the Bears last night.  It was brutal and even he Favre ceremony was a little anemic.  They could have skipped the speeches and just let him greet all his old friends and team mates.  That was the best part, that and Bart Starr of course.

If you are a Bears fan, there is a 'Cardinal rule'...never bet against the Bears....If you're not sure..don't bet...but never, ever, bet against them, it'll bite ya in the butt every time...LOL

Aron's receivers, last night, look like what Jay has had to put up with for years....da' slippery hands....only difference is most of Jay's ended up as interceptions..... ;D

These are young teenagers Jon their sports allegiances change with the wind.  Not that they are not Bears fans, just their confidence changes pretty much with every play.

As far as Cutler and Rodgers I didn't think I'd ever say this but I think I might rather have Cutler right now.  Our receivers are dropping a lot but there is something off about Rodgers as well.  Jay seems to have fixed his issues while Aaron has developed a few of his own.

I was expecting a Packers win but I figured it would be tough.  Looks like we will have to wait until next year to even the series.

I'll have to agree with the Rodgers/Cutler choice.....for some reason I've always liked Jay..he's a gamer, but hasn't been a smart gamer at times...whether it's maturing or what?..his play has finally solidified into being a pretty dang good QB.....

Rodger's receivers sure don't help his confidence any....wow....he must drop back in the pocket and be thinking..'well who has a better chance of catching this one??'....that's crazy.....
