I don't think I know anybody that thought Virginia would beat Indiana the way they did yesterday in Charlottesville. Sure I though they might win but 47-7, it looked like the Indiana defense was running in quick sand or something the way the UVA offense moved the ball yesterday. Next week Virginia travels to Maryland were there is a pretty good chance the could win there 3rd straight game. In other college football action East Carolina lost a game they had to win at SMU and Georgia got embarrassed at Tennessee. I will update the Mickey's Place college football contest later this morning, however looking at the early numbers I think Julianne will still be leading the contest. Today in the NFL the Redskins will travel to Carolina to face the Panthers while the Packers are off this weekend. In the MLB playoffs yesterday the Dodgers ended there series with Cardinals with a 3-0 series sweep, the Rockies and the Phillies was postponed because of bad weather. All three of the remaining series will resume today. They will run race 4 of the chase today at the California Speedway with Denny Hamlin starting from the pole. MICKEY

ON THIS DAY IN
Elmore Leonard Author 841881 - Roll film for cameras was patented. Was it George Eastman or Mr. Fuji who patented the stuff? No. That honor belongs to D.H. Houston of Cambria, Wisconsin.
1948 - One of radio’s last premiering soap operas, The Brighter Day, happened this day in Three Rivers. The show centered around the Dennis’ and their extended family. It’s interesting to take a look at the cast and see which names are still recognizable, like Hal Holbrook and William Redfield. Some of the sponsors are still around, too: Ivory Soap flakes, Blue Cheer detergent and Hazel Bishop lipstick. The soap opera lasted for six years on radio, then moved to TV.
1975 - “Live from New York! It’s Saturday Night!” The late-night comedy show, Saturday Night Live, made its debut -- with George Carlin as the first guest host. Also in the cast: the ensemble of Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin and the voice of Don Pardo. SNL would continue -- with many changes -- to become the highest rated late-night show ever.
1991 - Actor/comedian Redd Foxx, star of TV’s "Sanford and Son", suffered a fatal heart attack on the set of his new sitcom, The Royal Family. He was 68. Foxx was known in 1950s for his party album Laff of the Party, featuring wall-to-wall raunchy stories recorded before a live audience. The album and Foxx’s later dirty joke LPs sold over 15 million copies, but he got little of the money: “I got robbed so bad”, he said, “I just didn’t want to make anymore.”

I would have sworn Mr. Fugi had rolled film patented. Boy , is my face red?
The Georgia contention should have a contest of their own since they are bunched together 10-14. Who is in 15th place?
its ok, not knowing that d.h. houston patented roll film is an honest mistake!
