This week's games

Heavenly Father, we know that you have been busy this football season with more important things, such as teaching Bob Stoops lessons in humility and cheering on your favorite professional football team (currently undefeated), but we implore thee to now turn your attention to your favorite college football team's final three games. Lord, not that you don't know better than I, but I hear there are a lot of sinners in Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Stanford. Especially Stanford. So in closing, please guide your squad to play to the best of their abilities, and the coaches to come up with a game plan that puts the ball in Golden Tate's hands every down. In lieu of these prayers being answered, I call on thee for divine intervention to move Urban Meyer to leave Gainesville for South Bend. Let the congregation say amen.

For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, which Steve Straessle plans to use as a bookend for his Pat Conroy novels, described wonderfully in this month's issue of Arkansas Life, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday.
