Rutgers Scarlet Knights at 9-0

(#15) Rutgers 28 - (#3) Louisville 25

Just to get it out of the way:

R-U kidding me?
R-U serious?

Well played and a great showing from the student body. It had the feel and electricity of big time football right here in the Garden State (and that was from watching it on TV). Only two times have I enjoyed that type of atmosphere live, but both times were Army football (not ranked teams playing). Once vs Louisville on a Thursday night at West Point that went three OTs and then vs Notre Dame at Giants Stadium when the Black Knights went for two and the win but were stuffed at the goal line on a tremedous defensive play.

Congrats to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Pettitte & Clemens mull retirement...again.

Haven't we already gone thru this before with these two guys?

Here are some links to the story:

I just can't help but wonder if steroids/hgh have anything to do with this timing. However, Clemens is a fossil and Pettitte has gone through this charade earlier in his career. Perhaps Pettitte has just lost the drive after winning a few World Series early in his career and is frustrated by injuries. Either way, I would miss watching Pettitte more than Clemens. When he is having a good day, which is more frequent than not, it is like watching an artist at work. Clemens was the best power pitcher I ever saw and I don't think I want to see him pitching another few years at a lesser level than we have come to expect.
