Clue/Question:  When the #1-Ranked team lost to the underdog, some fans were – – –

Answer:  UPSET BY THE UPSET

(Actually, Michigan is ranked a little higher than Michigan State.  Michigan is ranked #6, and MI State is ranked #8.  And both teams are currently undefeated, at 7-0.  But a lot of the early part of the season is played against the lesser teams.  We are just entering the real meat of the season.  The game is in East Lansing, so State should hold a slight edge.  It’s one of college football’s better rivalries, and it should be a really good game.  Big Ten football at its best!

All of today’s clue words are long time residents of the ralis95 clue word database.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, with “slepl” having definitely been used before.  No real head scratchers today.  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  I believe that Butspepeyust is going to be the next pharmaceutical medication to hit the market.  It’s the new miracle drug to treat hemorrhoids and anal fissures.  Ask your doctor if Butspepeyust is right for you!

Great cartoon of – mainly – disappointed college students, leaving the stadium, after the big game.  I think the one guy celebrating is about to get his butt kicked!  Why is it usually the fat guy that ends up going shirtless?  Do they sell beer at most college stadiums?  So, I guess Jeff’s team is going to win by 1 this weekend.  As long as it’s a win, baby!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Garry Tallent, of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band! (It ain’t football, but it applies to all jocks.)

Happy birthday to Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran!  I’m not really a big fan, but my niece, Nina, is a huge fan.  So, this is for her.
