A clown’s in space, hospitals are building swine-flu drive-thrus and I have 12 hours until I see Bruce Springsteen tonight…

Computer ratings are out. Cincinnati’s where you’d expect: no. 9. Louisville is to: below I-AA Villanova. (Lousville Courier-Journal)

The first Heisman Pundit poll’s out too. Tony Pike’s fourth. (Baltimore Sun)

Hoops break: UConn and Jim Calhoun are talking extension and a DUI couldn’t keep former UConn star Diana Taurasi from the WNBA’s MVP trophy. (Connecticut Post)

UConn football fans are curious sorts. (Hartford Courant)

Louisville is practicing tackling. Without tackling. (Louisville Courier-Journal)

Louisville QB Justin Burke, meanwhile, is showing he’s more than an egghead. Do people use the word egghead anymore? (Rivals.com)

When it comes to third down conversions… even Temple’s better than Pittsburgh. Here’s a little more on that. But good news on the other side: the defense is getting healthy. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

And more good news: Pitt got its second QB commit of the 2010 class. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Tom Savage didn’t practice Tuesday, but back-up Dom Natale still doesn’t have a shot at winning the starting position back permanently. But not because Greg Schiano believes positions can’t be lost to injury. (SNY.tv)

Natale doesn’t have hearing in his right ear. Schiano’s “fine” with his four co-coordinators. (Star-Ledger)

Rutgers TE Shamar Graves won’t get down about his demotion. (Home News Tribune)

BJ Daniels, meanwhile, says last week’s debut is so… last week. George Selvie gets the pub, but USF’s Jason Pierre-Paul could be just as good. He’s at the least as tough. (Tampa Tribune)

Then again, USF LB Kion Wilson may be the toughest. He tore soft tissue in his hands, needed 25 stitches and came back in the game. (St. Petersburg Times)

Syracuse has good reason to be wary of Daniels’ visit. Syracuse games are going nearly a half hour longer than the average game in the FBS. Huh? (Syracuse Post-Standard)

Colorado, West Virginia: mutual admiration society. (Charleston Gazette)

There’s a new guard in the Big East. (Times West Virginian)
