Alabama turned in one of the most dominate games on the defensive side of the ball in the history of college football last night beating the LSU Tigers 21-0. LSU never advanced the ball beyond the 50 yard line all night long. So much for 13-0. Congrats to the Crimson Tide and to my pal, Kyle Banister, the only Alabama fan I know, who I’m sure was hoping for a cartoon of me eating crow (I was rooting for LSU).
Thanks for the huge numbers we got on Sunday nights cartoon for 9News (A Wing and A prayer) We set a DrewLitton.com record for the number of page views. It’s all because of you and your desire to share my content on the web that makes it happen! I appreciate it!
I was also interviewed by 9News and you can watch it at www.9News.com. I’ll try to embed the video later (we had some problems doing so earlier)

The Cardinals season has been all about comebacks and overcoming incredible odds. Game 6 of the Series will go down as one of the classic games in World Series history, an epic example of a team who refused to quit. Played with several concepts before I settled on this one.
I’ll have a CU Buffs cartoon up later today…

Today’s cartoon was drawn for ESPN.com

It ain’t got no…Philadelphia Phillies.
It ain’t got no…New York Yankees.
It ain’t got no…Boston Red Sox.
No. It’s Texas vs St. Louis, which in and of itself just doesn’t sound right. When I was growing up in Texas we had two sports. Football and spring Football practice. So baseball in Texas still doesn’t seem right. Actually I saw my first pro baseball game as a kid at the Astrodome when the Astros were playing I dunno. They gave away this cool baseball game at the gate when you walked in and I played with it the whole game. I never even looked at the players on the field. I had my own imagination…
The second pro baseball game I saw was the summer of 76 when the Rangers were playing the Detroit Tigers and some kid named Mark “The Bird” Fidrych was pitching. Now that was a blast. Not every day you can watch a grown man on a mound of dirt talking to a baseball. Fidrych was actually a pretty great pitcher that summer. He led the major leagues with a 2.34 ERA, won the AL Rookie of the Year award, and finished with a 19-9 record.
The only other connection I have to the Rangers is the only autographed baseball I own. Nolan Ryan’s foundation sent it for a cartoon I gave them of Ryan taking Robin Ventura to the woodshed during an infamous brawl they had in the 90′s.
So I invite you to share your World Series Memories with me. Did you listen in class as a kid? Have a favorite moment or team that won it all? I’d love to hear about it!

I drew this illustration for a Michael Wilbon column on ESPN.com

Hoping to get a new caption contest up by noon.

Caption Contest Winning Cartoon will post at Noon

My latest cartoon on ESPN.com. I think this one is pretty much the way I feel in a nutshell. The “hangover” from the Lockout is going to last awhile.
I guess I can actually go out and buy an NFL preview, although they are horribly out of date. The next thing that will be interesting will be Free agency which will resemble the human stampede that happens in malls the day after Thanksgiving. It won’t be pretty. But we do have that to look forward to.
