The British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League are now 10-0 after beating the Ottawa Renegades 61 to 27 on Thursday night. The star of the game was safety Barron Miles who returned a fumble for a touchdown and also had two interceptions.
Barron played college football with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and won a national championship in 1994 when the Huskers went 13-0 under coach Tom Osborne.

I'm not a big sports fan, but I do lean toward the Iowa Hawkeyes.
To bring railroads into the subject, last year for home games at Iowa City, shuttle trains were operated between parking in Coralville and the stadium over the Iowa Interstate. I thought I'd heard that the trains would run again this year, but haven't heard anything lately.

Yes, they are running them again. I think they bring in a Colorado ski trainset for it.

Hey, one of these days maybe I'll run down there and get pictures!

Well, as much as I don't usually do off topic posts, somebody has to stand up for the 2 time defending Super Bowl Champs, the New England Patriots.

Who's going to stop them? Sure, any given Sunday, and all that (last year's two losses are proof of that). But can anyone seriously doubt the Pats to adapt and overcome any problems that come their way? Sure, they lost their two coordinators and their two inside linebackers, but they still have B&B (Belichick and Brady). This team has only lost 16 games in the last 4 seasons, garnering 3 titles along the way and a 21 game winning streak. All the other teams are welcome to try, but as #55 said, "To be the champs, you have to beat the champs." And so far, no one has done much of that. [:)]

Edit: Oh, and as far as NCAA football? Sorry, I don't follow the minor leagues of football. I could care less, even if Boston College was the national champions. It's like the Pawtucket Red Sox winning the International League crown...big deal. Nice story and all, but....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. [:)]

My favorite team is going to have to be the Eagles! My favorite football player of all time becides Bret Farve is David Akers # 2 (kicker). I've never in my life seen a kicker like Akers before.

Yes I will be watching Monday night football tomorrow since the Eagles are playing the Falcons another team I don't like.

The team that I really hate would have to be the New England Patriots. I like the Cowboys better than I do the Patriots. And yes I was routing for the Raiders last Thursday over the Patriots.
