Even if there is no more sequined hat dancing, this may be the last noteworthy weekend of the season in the UFL.
Texas and Alabama each have must-win games for their conference titles. A loss by either would essentially kill any hope Dan or Patty has of winning this league. The Longhorns and Tide would make a BCS bowl even if they lose their conferences, but Dan and Patty need the national title bonus to have a chance here. Meanwhile my Bearcats play a de facto conference title game, with a BCS berth on the line. And in case Texas loses on Saturday, there could be a very interesting debate next week about who should face the SEC champ in the title game - Cincy or TCU!
Assuming Texas and Alabama both win Saturday, the NFL games on Sunday could be big. Patty's Falcons need to beat my Eagles to stay in the playoff hunt, while Dan's Patriots need to rebound with a road win.

Great win for the nasty boys. Now I'm looking for the Huskers to use their voodoo like they did against Mizzou in 97.
