It's Monday from Rod6

Here we are getting ready to play Monday Night Football South Dakota style. Here is the surest way for teams that are favored and should win tonight to lose. Turnovers. Fumbles, Interceptions. Turnovers are the great equalizer. Turnovers and injuries. Pierre is facing injuries for the first time that might hamper thier lineup. Most notably, running back Adam Deneke has been bothered by a bad back but he still may play. He may even start. Graham Schuetzle hurt his shoulder pretty good last week, but he is going to start, both ways. Being Tough. Being Determined. And don't turn the football over. You do that, you got a chance.

Steph Paluch and Katie Lingle played their first collegiate basketball game yesterday when SDSU beat Wayne State 96-51 in an exhibition game. Steph played 8 minutes had 2 offensive rebounds and 2 points. Katie only played 2 minutes but had 6points and 2 defensive rebounds. And I see a former teammate of theirs at Riggs has made another move in search of a college basketball opportunity. Sierra Moeller transferred from Boise State to Kansas. Now she has transferred and will be playing Division 2 ball at Washburn University in Topeka. Otherwise, Michael Tveidt is getting ready to be the leader of his NDSU team and Sam Willard is expecting big things and his coach is too at Pacific. Hard to believe that college basketball is gearing up. And that means high school basketball isn't far behind.

And the difference the Vikings have in Brett Favre and what they had in Tavaras Jackson. THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS BLOCKING. With the time Favre had yesterday to throw, Tavaras could have been the qb being booed off the field. Blocking for the qb is something the Packers and Bears really haven't figured out yet against the good teams. And in the Bears case, the bad teams.
