- Hit: Kansas' recruitment of Dayne Crist, the QB transfer from Notre Dame, may be getting a boost by the rumored announcement of Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst as the head coach at Pitt. Wisconsin and Delaware are the other two schools vying for Crist's affections. This former five-star QB has one year of eligibility remaining and can play immediately upon transferring.
- Miss: There's justifiable excitement about Kansas City's victory over Green Bay but let's not get ahead of ourselves, Chiefs fans. Kyle Orton still is a quarterback who's had uneven NFL success and Romeo Crennel is an assistant coach who has interviewed with the Giants, Bills, Cardinals, Bears and Falcons, and not been hired by any as a head coach. Let's keep our excitement, and expectations, real.
- Penalty flag: If England's football (a k a soccer) captain, John Therry, did racially abuse an opponent, then he should be punished for the crime. Therry is the first player to face a court in Britain on a charge of racially abusing an opponent. This charge is part of an effort to crack down on racism in the sport of soccer.
- Hit: Missouri's 11-0 record will be tested in tonight's Braggin' Rights game in St. Louis versus Illinois. The Illini have one loss--to impressive-thus-far UNLV--but will pose the stiffest test for the Tigers in the non-conference season. The betting line has MU as a two point favorite.
- Miss: It's hard to figure Texas out. Rick Barnes' Longhorn basketball squad appears to have talent, at least on paper, but is unranked and lost by 19 last night at North Carolina.
- Penalty flag: Sexting is back in the sports news again--Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors has been accused by a team employee of sending texts which include photos of his genitals.
