NU vs CU
This game is for a bowl bid. Although people say even with 6 wins, CU or NU may not make a bowl. The only thing that makes that statement wrong is contracts with the big 12. So i guarentee that the winner of this game will make a bowl.

Joe Ganz is currently 15 for 26 for 274 yards, 2 TDs and no INTs. He has also ran for two TDs. Maurice Purify has been Ganz main target, catching a TD to make 8 catches for 110 yards, just that much better. Todd Peterson has the other Touchdown.

Rumors 10/23 Morning
Well good morning everyone lets see what we got today.
Angels working on more deals: Not only did the Angels snag the most coveted free agent on the market when they agreed to terms with center fielder Torii Hunter on a five-year, $90-million contract late Wednesday, they put themselves in even better position to land a bigger fish -- Florida Marlins slugger Miguel Cabrera -- or a player who could further bolster the offense -- Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada.
Rangers Center Field options: Andruw Jones if he's willing to take a 1 yr deal. Also on the radar includes Aaron Rowand and Mike Cameron.
Royals focus shift on Guillen: Royals are very intrested in signing Jose Guillen.
Red Sox plan run on Santana: According to multiple baseball sources, momentum for a Santana trade is already building. With the winter meetings scheduled to begin on Dec. 3 in Nashville, that momentum should only continue to pick up speed over the next 10 days.
