Anomaly

Kiss gums up the Frank Erwin Center tonight, but without Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, the circus rolling through town has no sword swallower (the former) or bearded lady (the Cat, man). Instead, one’s left with Abbott (Gene Simmons) and Costello (Paul Stanley).

McCoy Eyes the Prizes: National Title, Heisman Trophy

It all comes down to one game for Colt McCoy. His opponents are, in order: Nebraska, Tim Tebow, and Mark Ingram. The problem is he absolutely must beat the Cornhuskers, but there’s no guarantee said victory will seal a Heisman Trophy as his other two rivals stage an SEC death match.
