The ESPN Thursday night crew made reference to Florida Atlantic as the 'Burrowing Owls'. I thought what a cool nickname and why hasn't Ferris told me about this yet. A quick search showed they were the Owls but I did not see any reference to burrowing owls on the official sports site of Florida Atlantic. Though it did raise the question of why I did not go to school in the south again. They also should change their nickname to Burrowing Owls.

Andre Woodson said people are actually talking about the Kentucky football program in the state and there might be some momentum. Tough to do when its known as a basketball school. Then I thought that Kentucky basketball has not been an upper echeleon team for a while now and I can't think of anyone on the team really. I don't even remember if Ranolph Morris was a senior last year. Times have changed which is why Tubby is up here in Minneapolis.

I think I am being non-biased in my praise of Flutie but I learn more from him than any other announcer during the course of a game. He is always taking about formations and how one play has set up another. Someone in the mainstream media should be picking up on this.

A ramblings reader had a great comment about the Miami-North Carolina line which is at 6.5. "Is this really the line? Did I miss the headline that a bunch of Miami players were arrested again?" - Great call and what could Vegas possibly know?
