Halloween is always a fun time of year because although people are often not what they seem-- at least on October 31st their phonyness is up front...
Favorite Costume--Hoosiers' Hickory Huskers --the entire team in tow(with Gene Hackman holding the book)...what was the deal with proliferation of Santa and Santa Helper costumes? I think it's a cheap way to double up on holiday outfits..."yeah, this year why don't we go as...Pilgrims?"
Major Masquerades--Auburn, Tennessee and Wisconsin ...all three schools have gone from high preseason hopes to getting a rock Charlie Brown-style...
Speaking of Getting a Rock--the Big East and ACC both find themselves with no national title hopefuls (Florida State the only one-loss school in either league) as the "basketball leagues" live up to their names...
Alma Mater Update--Syracuse at 1-6 plays Louisville...from hiring a Wisconsin assistant to implement the west coast offense (west coast of Lake Michigan, maybe) to the erosion of team speed in the secondary (are they wearing ankle-weights during the games?) the Orange have been dressed up as a Division I-A program for four years under coach Greg Robinson... and have had more stylistic changes (multiple uniform alterations) than substantive improvements (8-34 anyone?)...
VIRGINIA vs Miami--last year the Cavaliers closed the Orange Bowl with a 48-0 thumping of the Hurricanes...(you don't come into the OB like that!)...last year I thought the Canes were perhaps a year away from being major contenders in the ACC--they've been less than overwhelming in recent wins over Central Florida, Duke and Wake Forest. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers blew through an October schedule to re-set expectations...instead of postseason play being a pipe dream, coach Al Groh's team is thinking ACC title. Will this be the week Marc Verica's interceptions finally cost the Cavaliers? UVa rallies again, 20-16.
NAVY tops Temple, HOWARD humbles Norfolk State, GEORGETOWN slips to Lehigh, JAMES MADISON defeats Delaware, RICHMOND rips Hofstra, WILLIAM & MARY tops Towson.
