Dear sweet Jesus this set is MINE. But where to get the money from...

Today's games really surprised me, particularly my own TAMU game. Stephen McGee was actually throwing the ball and ended up with 237 passing yards, something I haven't seen done by A&M in my history of keeping up with college football (A&M has a very conservative playbook, usually running options). I was very impressed with the offense, but I think the defense still needs work. They were having trouble holding ULM back, and I worry how they will do against the other Big XII teams (especially since the bigger games are on the road). Hopefully the Ags can get it worked out before Thursday's game against Miami.

I feel bad for Nebraska (who I wanted to win) but good lord, USC is a monster. I think the game would have been closer had Nebraska showed their 4th quarter fire a little earlier. Upsets were definately the theme of the week. I was amazed that Bama was able to pick up the win against Arkansas, Utah pwned UCLA, and Kentucky got the W over Louisville. Texas was almost upset as well. I was also surprised that Michigan beat Notre Dame, but only because I thought both teams would find a way to lose.

So far (and things will DEFINATELY change) it looks like the National Championship could be USC vs. either LSU or Oklahoma but we'll have to wait and see how all the teams do once Conference games begin...

I completely agree, Dressel. Had I known that those $13 figures would lead to $7-8 basic figures (with less articulation/accessories) and $20 exclusive figures then I wouldn't have gone crazy for them back in 05. And now that I'm in college with little money to spend on anything other than food, I have to be very selective of what I buy. If this were $10, maybe even $15 I'd consider it. But this kind of price for one figure... it ain't happening.

Eh, I'll stick with my original Nano. Still works fine and I've only filled about 1.3 gigs with songs and pictures.

I placed it all carefully inside a giant Rubbermaid bin. I wasn't moving them that far so not much was "destroyed" (biggest thing was a part of the Falcon fell off) and what broke was easy to put back together.

The season is underway! I loved the smell of football in the air this afternoon...

Some highlights from today:

- Appalachian State ******* DESTROYED Michigan. I laughed because the Big Ten is full of overrated trash-talking pooheads.
- Cal pulled off an upset win (IMO) over Tennesee, who I thought for sure would win.
- Kansas State (who I hate) almost beat Auburn IN Auburn, but luckily that was not the case.
- USC did their usual crap.
- Texas looked mega weak. I know Colt McCoy can do better.
- TCU knocked down Baylor and kicked dirt in their face.
- Oklahoma's rookie QB went 20 for 22 in the first half. Wow. Virex must be happy. I now fear Oklahoma.

... and I attended my first college game as an actual college student! 

I just got an email saying my Obi Wan/Yoda had shipped. It'll be here in 7-10 business days. How ridiculous of a shipping time is that for an action figure?
