The first round...

Lincoln has been walking all over the place. He's been taking steps for two months, but now walking is his preferred mode of transport. He can stand up without any help, and can bend down an pick things up. He is also obsessed with the letter 'v', he knows how to make the sound and everything, and if you ask him what a cow says, he'll go 'voooooo'.

Plus, it seems the two weeks straight of massive blowouts are over for now. I'm getting tired of giving him a bath everytime he has a messy diaper. Then there's the laundry...

This was a pretty good week of college football. For those of you who missed it, I'll recap.

Ohio State vs Troy at Ohio State. This was closer than expected at the start, but then OSU pulled away in front of thier home crowd. 45 - 17.

Wisconsin used a slight homefield advantage since the game was played at Ohio State to surprize LSU, who could never get going. Just like thier loss at Auburn, they never got into the endzone, while Wisconsin showed that the Big 10 was probably the best conference this year. 24 - 9

Ohio State will play Wisconsin at the Orange Bowl in Miami next week

USC vs. Notre Dame This game had the same result as a few weeks ago. USC avenged thier loss to UCLA by stomping on the Irish in So. Cal. again. 34 - 14

Boise St. vs. Oklahoma. In a game to be played for real Jan. 1, Boise State finally showed they belong by beating an Oklahoma team that should have finished with a better record. Boise State scored with 3:22 left to take a 31 - 27 win

Boise State and USC willplay next week in San Diego at the Holiday Bowl.

Florida beat Cent. Michigan at Florida 55 - 31. The game wasn't really that close, but true to form, Florida allowed a bit of a second half comeback.

Louisville used a high powered offense to beat a Wake Forest team that needs to find a main running back. It was still a game in the 4th but then Louisville pulled away... 35 - 20

Louisville will play Florida at the Fiesta bowl next week.

Michigan destroyed Houston at home 42 - 10. The game was a shutout until midway through the 4th quarter when Houston's defense set up the offense with an interception that went to the 5 yard line.

BYU beat Arkansas (of course) in Ann Arobor. John Beck threw for 3 TD's and ran the game winner in on a quarterback sneak with 4:51 left in the game. 38-35

BYU will play Michigan in the Rose Bowl next week.

You better believe I watched every one of those games. Pure intensity. I sure am glad they got rid of those 31 random bowl games with little or no meaning.
