After an exciting weekend of Big Ten Football, the ladies of Minnesota will present the wrap-up of week 10.Can anyone remember a Saturday of Big Ten Football that found every game settled in the last minute of play? First, an Adam Weber throw was intercepted by Northwestern and returned for a touchdown to break a 17-17 tie. The Gophers, instead of playing for overtime, threw over the middle and endured a devastating defeat. Then Michigan State came back from 11 down in the fourth quarter to kick a 45 yd field goal with :12 to play. A couple of mental breakdowns from the Wisconsin coaching staff contributed to the defeat. Purdue brings the hook 'n ladder from the back pages of the playbook to defeat Michigan with :27 to play. The win for the Boilermakers sent the Wolverines to the bowl sideline for the first time in 33 years. And finally, a Matt Eller field goal, broke a 24-24 tie with Iowa with :30 to play followed by an Ricky Stanzi intercepted pass. Although the conference is mediocre, that doesn't mean it doesn't have exciting finishes.
Exciting finishes were found elsewhere around the country. Pittsburgh took four overtimes to beat Notre Dame in South Bend. BYU defeated Colorado State 45-42 in a back and forth game that whoever scored last, won the game. And in a game that lived up to the hype, Texas Tech defeated the #1 Texas Longhorns on a touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree that left :01 on the clock.
And finally, on the eve of Election Day I just witnessed the interviews of Barack Obama and John McCain. When asked what sports issue they would change Obama wants a playoff while McCain would eliminate performance enhancing drugs. Based on that alone, I could not vote for Obama.
The Heinz Field Staff would not allow anyone to walk on the grass. All of us had to stay on the cement behind each sideline and end zones.

The Roberto Clemente Bridge that connects the downtown area to PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
PNC Park, the home of the Pirates had a couple of fine restaurants housed within that had outdoor seating outside the ballpark. Our baseball tickets were complimentary of Brett Dolan, the play by play voice of the visiting Houston Astros.

Firewaters was the place to be, outside of PNC, for all fans of the Hawkeyes. A private Hawkeye party kept many of us out until later in the night when five dollars would gain you access.
