There may be baseball tonight, but not yet. So we turn to ESPN, where we can ponder the question of why two Big 10* teams are playing football on Friday night. * For very weird values of 10.

OK, after the clip show that ended the 2nd season of Star Trek The Next Generation I put this whole recap project on hold, but now it's time to start up again. I am, uh, several episodes behind, so this one will be rather long.

I happy to see that the Weather Channel is now allowing a woman to be as stupid as a man by standing out in the middle of a hurricane.

The problem with watching a show you know nothing about except that it's pitched to boomers is that you spend half the first episode figuring out where you've seen all these actors before. #TheBoroughs #YesIAmAshamed #ButImWatchingAnyway

A pickoff attempt that results in a video review lasting more than 30 seconds shouldn't count as a disengagement.

If I had my druthers, the World Series would be Brewers-Guardians, but I could live with Brewers-White Sox or Brewers-Rays. The other teams can cry all the way to the bank.

Speaking of Indiana v. Rutgers, My first job after I got my IU degree was at Rutgers. I got season tickets to their basketball games (they were rather good back then) but never went to a football game. Kind of weird, since football originated in New Brunswick.

Pretty sure Maryland had a penalty on every play after Nebraska got to first an goal. Despite outgaining Nebraska, they're behind 28-23 at half. Not even finding creative ways to lose.

Like voter fraud, there is no sharia law in the USA nor is there any threat of it. The only people committing voter fraud and instituting religious laws are Republican.

Started watching Kentucky/Alabama because the Wildcats were ahead. That didn't end well. Now started watching Iowa State/Iowa because ISU was ahead 10-0. Now it's 10-7. I should really switch to cricket, or Aussie Rules Football, or something else where I don't care who wins.
