Great Start to the Playoffs

I realize it wasn’t technically a playoff game between the White Sox and Twins…but it was a playoff game.  I was pulling for the Sox since I have a couple friends who are Sox fans and it would give me a team to pull for in October.  I didn’t think last year’s Rockies-Padres play-in game [...]

The Sooner’s pass attack is scary. They go to Baylor this week and then get Texas and Kansas at home. Can they stay on top?

The Tigers travel to Lincoln this week to face the Cornhuskers. Mizzou hasn’t won in Lincoln in 30 years.

Charles Scott has been a beast. LSU travels to Gainesvill next week. [...]

Oklahoma City Thunder (Again)

As a follow up to the post that Bryan wrote a few weeks ago, I’m writing to show you all that the Oklahoma City Thunder now have a jersey to match their hideous logo. Here’s what their home jersey looks like:

I personally don’t think the jerseys are quite as bad as the logo, but they’re [...]

Rams Fire Linehan…the season was already over anyway.

Coming as a shock to absolutely no one, the Donnie Averys fired Head Coach Scott Linehan.  I’m not happy about it, I’m not sad about it.  We’re terrible and nothing is going to change that.  Jim Haslett is taking over as interim head, which is fine.  He has experience coaching teams under duress as he [...]

Final Day of the Regular Season

I know yesterday was a huge day in college football (it almost reminded me of way back in 2007) and we won’t ignore that.  Hopefully, I’ll have some time later to go back and write something up.
Anyway, today I drug myself to a computer lab on campus so I won’t be tempted to watch the [...]

Titanic Upset in the Northwest

As I’m sure everyone has known for almost 24 hours, the #1 ranked USC Trojans lost to the Oregon State Beavers last night.  Momentarily, this actually helps clear up the BCS picture.  Go undefeated in the SEC, go to the Title game.  Go undefeated in the Big XII, go to the Title game.  Because of [...]

My All-Time Tennessee Volunteer Team

I just threw this together, so it could probably be a little better, but it’s about 4 in the morning so I hope you’ll cut me some slack. Either way, these are the kinds of things that happen when I’m bored and can’t sleep so I share them with you. Plus looking back at some [...]

2009 NFL Mock Draft II (9/25)

Okay, it’s been two weeks since my first 2009 mock draft and like that one, I am using my current predictions for the season to determine the selection order. I mixed things up a little bit this time though. Instead of making all of the selections myself I got some outside input. For 5 of [...]

We lost a 20-year old Defenseman, the season is over.

I really don’t like writing these posts during the pre-season, but this is now the second.  Earlier today, the St. Louis Blues lost second year defenseman Erik Johnson to a season ending knee injury.
This season ending post won’t be quite as negative as the first, since I can actually see that the franchise is headed [...]

The last time USC played an away game at Oregon St, they were upset by the Beavers. Will it happen again this week?

The Sooners are first in the nation in scoring, averaging well over 50 points per game. Will TCU be able to bring that average down?
