So, despite the nastiness that was the last two weeks, BG still controls its own destiny (thanks in HUGE part to a Ball State win over Akron) heading into the last two games of the year.

Thanks Eagles!<\/p>\n<p>-Alabama has opened it up a bit, but this game with Mississippi State is like watching a pudding fight on the short bus. I&#8217;ve got a feeling that when\/if they lose, the Tide is in for quite a tumble in the polls. Ever since Tyrone Prothro&#8217;s leg decided to go &#8220;L-shaped&#8221;, they&#8217;ve been playing with house money, big time.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I learned today that they&#8217;ve got a kid on the roster named &#8220;Jimmy Johns&#8221;.

The prediction has been made that UCLA wins this one 48-38. If not, I think UCLA could take a fall like the one predicted for &#8216;Bama earlier in this post.<\/p>\n<p>-What part of a home win over a crappy Tennessee team necessitates a Gatorade shower for Charlie Weis? On second glance, I thought maybe he just sweats a lot, but then I saw the replay. They better be careful, though, and not get water on that new 20 year contract he had in his hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7:26pm<\/strong><br \/>\n-And N.C.
