Jack and Chloe are back

It has been too long without Jack, Chloe, Tony and the whole CTU. The last season of 24 was a disappointment, but that doesn’t mean it has jumped the shark. Chach has viewed an advanced copy and he said the 2 hour even this Sunday at 8p is very good: This coming from a non-24-fan. Jack and Chloe are 2 of the greatest characters in television history and I can’t wait to see who they will introduce as new characters this season (i.e. Lynn McGill, Ryan Chapell, Edgar Stiles).

Harvard/Yale

Dino and Gerry made fun of me this morning for going to “The Game” Saturday afternoon, but I’m excited. Harvard Stadium is a great venue and this is one of the most historic games in college football. Is this a better game then Ohio State/Michigan or Florida/Florida State or South Carolina/Clemson? Of course not. But it’s on my Sports Bucket List and I will be able to cross it off when Michael Lawler leads the Crimson over Yale in the 125th version of this great rivalry.

Texas Tech/Oklahoma

Heisman Trophy. Trip to Big 12 Championship. Number 1 ranking. All three of these are on the line Saturday night in Norman as these two programs take the field just after 8p. How can you not root for Texas Tech? They have been such a great story this season and the most exciting team to watch over the last 5 years. Mike Leach can name his job and price if he takes a school from Lubbock, Texas to the national championship.

Who is next on Beacon Hill

Diane Wilkerson, now Chuck Turner, who is next? Business on Beacon Hill has never been clean, but this is getting ugly. It is pretty evident that Wilkerson flipped on Turner. Who else has she ratted on and who will Turner turn in to save his behind? I don’t believe these 2 are the only Massachusetts Pols that are dirty, but I am beginning to get the feeling that we are in for a once in a lifetime scandal involving politicians in this state.
