    Oklahoma’s No. 1 in AP college poll

    The Oklahoma Sooners, where the No. 1 ranking rests again. And the way they are playing they should keep that No. 1 ranking to the end of the season. Go Sooners! They are awesome in the way they are playing. I remember the late 60′s and 70′s when they were the powerhouse to reckon with. Yes, I went to OU way the heck when!

    The Sooners now sit atop the AP Top 25 on Sunday after the first upset-filled weekend of the season gave the media poll a powerful shake. Alabama was both a mover and a shaker, as the Crimson Tide rose to No. 2 after a surprising 41-30 pounding of Georgia.

    Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State to set the tone for a weekend that brought back memories of the topsy-turvy 2007 season.

    On Saturday, two more top-five teams fell. Florida was stunned at home by Mississippi, 31-30. Georgia, which started the season No. 1, was down 31 points by halftime to Alabama and never recovered.

    Overall, nine ranked teams lost, six to unranked foes.

    All told, Saturday was a great day for college football and I was watching some great games that day.

    Today, finally the Kansas City Chiefs won a game! They drubbed the Denver Broncos in Arrowhead Stadium. Of course, our son was not at this game because of another family matter and am sure he is kicking himself for missing this game. The score? Chiefs at 33 and the Broncos at 19. First win for the Chiefs, thus breaking their 12 game losing streak. Made my wife scream and yell and happy the entire game.

    Now watching the Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins. No score so far in the first quarter. Rooting I am for the Cowboys.

    Still keeping track of the big bailout that congress is working hard to get a viable deal. Update here:

    The hastily crafted plan lawmakers agreed to in principle on Sunday is intended to revive jittery and fragile banks on Wall Street with enough money — by using taxpayer funds to purchase billions upon billions of their worst mortgage-related assets — so that lending, the lifeblood of the American economy, flows freely again.

    If it is working, signs will emerge almost immediately in the interest rates on U.S. bonds and in an array of obscure — but crucial — financial benchmarks.

    Loans — particularly those made from one bank to another — would be more available and less expensive in a matter of days, if not weeks.

    And as the government gobbles the banks’ toxic assets, the industry would gain the confidence and strength needed to make it easier and cheaper for families to borrow for homes, cars and college — and for businesses to secure ample debt to pay for plants, equipment and workers.

    Still, rising unemployment, high energy prices and falling real estate values will not disappear overnight.

    Our tax dollars at work! Saving a bunch of greedy buttholes!

    Here it is 230pm in Iowa, and our temperature is only 66F! Nice cooling breeze blowing through our area. And to help out we do not have our air conditioner on. Just the windows open (screens of course to keep out any critters) and our fans on. Should stay at this level until some time tomorrow morning, when it will start heating up to the mid 80′s.
