Dateline: Gaithersburg 9/18/5

Only the news we care about:

I talked to Miss Vicki tonight. She arrived safely in Philadelphia and was esconced in the couch at her parent's house watching the Ducks play Fresno State. The game was at halftime when we talked, and the Ducks were ahead. (The final score, the unranked Ducks nosed out 23rd ranked Fresno State 37-34 causing some wide-spread jubillation).

Vicki is also rooting for her friends who publish who are having writer's block to take some time off and de-stress. Just reporting here.

In further action, Iowa ranked #22 destroyed arch rival N. Iowa 45 to 21 in a masterfull demonstration of skill. Finally, West Virginia squeaked by Maryland 31 to 19 after losing their last three games to the Terps.

The Philadelphia Eagles are viewed as a lock against the San Francisco 49ers at home. This is the game Vicki is going to see. She'd really like a cheer for her Eagles, because she has seen too many 'locks' turn into heartbreak.

Finally, we have the Washington Redskins against the Dallas Cowboys Monday night on ABC. The issue is do you believe in Bledsoe and Keyshawn Johnson versus the Redskins trying to decide between quarterbacks Brunnel and Ramsey. Clinton Fortas should do well regardless of who is the quarterback. There is also some question about the actual qualiy of Santana Moss as a receiver, hence the smart money is giving the edge to Dallas. I'm picking the 'Skins to upset Bledsoe et al, but I do have an emotional investment in the 'Skins. I'd like a cheer for the ever-rebuilding 'Skins too. If you're a Dallas fan............

I believe that's all that matters that I know of at the moment.
