Big day Wednesday. The Cowboys resigned Keylon Kincade and the Packers signed Alvin Nnabuife!

Way to go, Ponies!

Hope Kincade and Nnabuife get a chance to get on the field -- always nice to see Ponies in the NFL.

Good for Alvin -- the Packers have to seem like a Super Bowl contender after the Raiders....

Heard on the Ticket this morning that the Tuna might use him to return kicks against Arizona.

What's the over/under on KK getting canned before week's end again?

Seriously, good for them. Hope they see the field.

Most of these numbers have been recorded against the incorrectly named Big Ten (which, of course, has 11 teams).

That's not why it's incorrectly named, though. It's incorrectly named because a more accurate label would be, "Three Truths and a Lie."

Sure, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin are legit. But the leftovers are so bad that the Big Ten is almost certain to stiff not just one but two of its six bowl partners for lack of enough bowl-eligible teams.

Hold on, there, Penn State fans. Before you light those torches and grab those pitchforks, let's remember you've lost to the only ranked teams (OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin and Notre Dame) on your schedule.

Yes, Iowa, you're special, but only because you've lost to two conference members (Northwestern and Indiana) who in turn have lost to Division I-AA opponents.

Oh, right. Purdue is 6-4. And, let's see, 2-4 since rolling to a 4-0 start over a Division I-AA patsy and three others who are a combined 8-22.

Indiana? Please, do not puff your chest out over being 5-5 when you've lost to a Division I-AA team at home, trailed by 52 points at home against Wisconsin and got rolled by Minnesota 63-26 this past week.

None of this means Ohio State and Michigan aren't the juggernauts they're reputed to be.

The Buckeyes appear unbeatable when quarterback Troy Smith is rifling completions to receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez and when running back Antonio Pittman is stiff-arming defenses who stray from the box to defend the pass.

And Michigan looks lethal when Michael Hart pounds away inside the tackles and Henne occasionally pulls the ball out and throws over the top to Manningham, Adrian Arrington or Steve Breaston.

So come Nov. 18, it just might be the perfect storm, a college football confluence of colossal cosmic destructive awesomeness.

Or, maybe not.

Looks like KK WILL be back there returning kickoffs against Spare-izona. Good luck to Keylon.

Which brings up something I was thinking of. You know in the Sunday night/Monday night intros where the player gets to introduce himself by saying "Terry Glenn, THE Ohio State University." Who was the last player to to say "<Name>, SMU." Maybe Dale Hellestrae? I know they have only being doing that for the last few years, so maybe even he missed the cut. Then again, I don't think deep snappers get introduced, so blow me up.

KG never started (did he), Donal Mitchell with Tennessee was the last I remember.

KG started against SF on 10/03/2004 against San Fran. I don't know if they actually ran the players introduction or not on that game.
