How cool? And you did not want to go along?
It's not a vacation for him. It's work. In addition, (a) I have classes to teach for which no one within a large radius of here is available with my areas of expertise, and (b) I think I would lose my mind on a plane flight that long. Flying to Japan was the upper limit on my tolerance for being on a plane.

Well, bummer on both counts. My hubby had to spend two weeks in Germany about 8 years ago and it had to do with work. And his was a 9 hour flight, cannot imagine how far a flight it is to Australia hour wise.

We went a few years ago. Up on the tv screen is a map with a little plane going from the USA to Austrailia. Didn't think that little plane was going to ever make it.

I know some like points and some don't. If I throw out a bunch of cup cake games, we all pickem and all win/loss together. It is in most peoples interest to challenge the leader with difficult decisions. SHe has proven to be good, but luck will enter into play with close games.

With Skunky's help and spending more time on this than I should have, here they are:

THU 11/11/2010
Pittsburgh @ UCONN

SAT 11/13/2010
Miami @ Georgia Tech
South Florida @ Louisville
Ole Miss @ Tennessee
Iowa @ Northwestern
Kansas State +13.5 @ Missouri
Utah @ Notre Dame
Penn State +13.5 @ Ohio State
Virginia Tech @ North Carolina
Georgia @ Auburn
Texas A&M @ Baylor
Mississippi State +14.5 @ Alabama
South Carolina @ Florida
USC @ Arizona
Clemson @ Florida State

Best of luck to all including Queen Iris!

Thanks for getting these posted so quick, especially when you are out of the country on work related business, and still finding the time to post these. Much appreciated.
