Match Of The Week Preview:
(By MikeFromOhio)
wasn’t supposed to be a weekend that gave us great games, yet it gave as many as “Separation Saturday” did. Between the instant classic that was Notre Dame vs. Michigan State, to the shocking upset of Boston College by NC State, to the near heart attack that Georgia gave it’s fans against Colorado, the weekend was absolutely spectacular. This week features one real marquee matchup. #1 Ohio State visits Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to play #13 Iowa. This should be an excellent game. Other notable games are #24 Georgia Tech at #11 Virginia Tech and Alabama at #5 Florida.
Saturday, September 30th, 2006 – 8:00 PM on ABC
 at 
(1) Ohio State (-7) at (13) Iowa
Ohio State faces easily it’s biggest in conference challenge until the Michigan game in November. This is a sneaky tough game with an Iowa team that dominated Ohio State the last time they played (33-7 in 2004) in Iowa City. That was then and these are both very different teams. Iowa, having escaped Syracuse and played two consecutive uninspired games against Iowa State and Illinois, have a chance to make a lot of noise in the Big Ten and nationally. Ohio State has a chance to keep the dream season going. The key of this game comes down to the battle of the Quarterbacks. If Troy Smith throws 2 interceptions like he did against Penn State, Ohio State will struggle to win this game. Same goes for Iowa and QB Drew Tate. If he struggles or gets rattled like what happened last year against Ohio State, then Iowa will struggle to win this game. In the end I think Ohio State’s defense will continue to play well enough to put this team in position to win the game. Iowa will keep it close, but this Ohio State team went into Austin and won. Iowa can win this game, but I think Ohio State will win this game.
Ohio State 29 – Iowa 17

There was/is a bar with the Magnificent Seven poster across one whole wall, sitting on their horses. If you could name all of the actors, you got free drinks.
Not too many were paid out whenever I was in there. Maybe 1-2 in all the times I've been there, and I think the sailors cheated and studied before going in.
I am off to eat a massive pile of chow!

I'm taking a break between episodes of 24. I'm on episode 10 of the the second season. I guess I won't be around in the evenings until I finish season number 5!
For dinner I made a pot roast & the fixin's. Sorry about your sammich. Want some roast?:)
It's a good thing I'm not a TV viewer....if I had to wait a week to watch each of these 30 minute shows I would be so aggravated! LOL
I'll have to go back to the video store tomorrow for more dvd's. I have this neat program where I pay $10.00 per month & can check out as many as 3 per day day with no extra charge! WooHoo!
