Gai lan: meh
Hum bao: very good, maybe the best I've had
Sticky rice: above average
Oolong tea: okay
Shrimp noodle: meh
Crab rangoons: bad

But no honey walnut shrimp! Major fail there.

Temple-Notre Dame seems to be the only nationally compelling game this week.

Might watch TTU-Okie State just to see what a 70-60 final score game looks like

As bad as these matchups have been this weekend and last, I will not complain. Bad college football is way better than no college football.

Someone needs to provide a valid reason for why OSU and UM don't both wear their home uniforms when playing.

It absolutely is tradition.   It's an authentic throwback.  It's how they did it before black and white TV had teams shift to white away jerseys because it needed the contrast.

Newspaper reports from the 1927 dedication game of Michigan Stadium against Ohio State reference the "scarlet-clad Buckeyes", while Michigan of course was in blue.

Here is a picture from the famous 1950 "Snow Bowl" game between Michigan and Ohio State.  Both teams are wearing their color jerseys.  No white jerseys.

Question:  Does anybody know when Michigan switched to white for away games?  It was sometime during the '50's, but not sure when.

ESPN News? ...fuck...don't get it. Hate watching the start of games on watchespn. Let's hope TT v OSU shocks everyone by turning into an old-fashion rushing battle.

Time to root for all the upsets. Lets have as many 2 loss teams as possible. Then my pipe dream hopes of a playoff berth are still alive.

Hopefully Georgia will lose to Florida when Georgia's QB fails to throw the ball to a wide open tight end for a TD, and when asked about it after the game, Richt will say "we don't throw the ball to tight ends here in the SEC East."
