ESPN.com: Page2


	We've run with Ralphie at Colorado. We've flown with the parachute team at Army. We've ridden the Sooner Schooner at Oklahoma. We've crammed a lifetime's worth of game-day experiences into one season. And it's been a treat at every stop along Page 2's Tailgate Tour. TEX. A&M \| AUB. \| OU \| OSU \| ND \| WASH. \| S.

	Page 2's Jim Caple can live with the mediocre record and the uninspired play. He can even come to grips with the bottom-feeder bowl bid. But he can't get next to the rest of Washington's embarrassing behavior. So what's a loyal alum to do? Stop showing the money to athletic director Barbara Hedges.

Hollywood Jock		Ugliest Uniform Bracket

	As Page 2's Rob Ryder peddles his script, he gets the good ol' Hollywood Run-around from a showbiz entrepreneur named Pookey. Still, it beats the Hollywood Jock's nightmare experience on the set of "Blue Chips."		Yes, it's a choice between a rock (the Padres) and a hard place (the Predators). But choose, we must. So vote now in our Ugliest Uniform Bracket championship round to determine the ugliest of the uglies.

THE DAILY QUICKIE

The Daily Quickie wonders what sort of turkey would schedule a game for the Tuna just three days after he made mincemeat out of the Panthers. Plus, Sunday's Upset Special! (Sort of.)

Hey, it's Thanksgiving Week. You know what that means: Turkey! The way we eat, that should probably be plural. Turkeys. So here they are: The Biggest Sports Turkeys of 2003.
10]	Steve Bartman It's one thing to try to catch a foul ball. It's quite another to foul up your favorite team's best chance to win a World Series since the Pilgrims found Plymouth Rock.

9]	Bill Romanowski For his cheap KO of teammate Marcus Williams during practice and a lame apology a couple of days later. Not to mention that positive test for THG.

8]	Don Zimmer and Pedro Martinez These two gladiators gave us some comic relief, at least. But coming as it did in the middle of one of the best playoff series in recent memory . . . well, let's just say it didn't do the game a lot of good.

NFL now No. 2?

As Jerry Glanville once said, "NFL stands for 'Not For Long.' " As in the winners and losers don't stay that way for long. So, has parity helped the league ... or has baseball surpassed pro football as our No. 1 sport?

The members of the Writers' Bloc certainly can't agree on the answer. In fact, they're even dragging NASCAR, hockey and -- gasp! -- soccer into the discussion.
