Scholarly Tackle

Schadenfreude Saturday started a day early.

First, where the waters run still, a Golden Hurricane blew. 13.5 point dog Tulsa led 19-3 entering the 4th quarter against a pathetic Oklahoma State O and won 19-12 over "I'm a (beaten) man" Mike Gundy.

A half-hour later, in front of a sold-out Shi'a Stadium in Piscataway, the b1gest B1G game of Greg Schiano Parte Deux started. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh OH! Iowa ran the opening kick back 104 yards untouched by any Scarlet Pimpernel. But in a twist, the Red Coats recovered, and more. Yeah, really! They led 28-24 five mins into the 4th quarter. Birds of Prey scored tyoo touchdowns in the last five minutes sending 56,000 Shi'ites home red-faced agayne.

A kick-start to another Schadenfreude Saturday.  Who will it be today? Will Meeshagan break "Husker" hearts in Lincoln? Will a green wave wash over Oxford, Mississippi? Will the "Hurricanes" taper off to zephyrs against Billy Nap's Army in Miami Gardens? Will unbeaten East Lansing Spartak march into the Los Angeles Coliseum and defeat the no. 25, 19.5 favored Men of Troy?
