A week off

This will be my last post for awhile, since I will be in Hawaii until next Tuesday. So, lets take care of just a few things.

Giants- So yesterday just sucked for me as a sports fan, first my giants lose, and I really felt they lost more then phili won, I mean give them credit they played well, but the Giants didn't finish drives, didn't take care of the ball, and now that my year pass on Eli is almost over, after he won us the super bowl, I will add... PLEASE SET YOUR FEET BEFORE YOU THROW THE BALL. I would use worst words then that, but I have relaxed a little since yesterday. In saying that, it was a better reg. season that I thought it would be, and with Osi coming back, if we get another true number one wide out, we should be fine next year.

CMU- My alma mater, that I love greatly, lost by 9 last night at home to western in basketball. These losses still hurt me the most because I know everyone on the team, I have been to practices, and in the past, I have worked camps, still do, had a 540 hr internship with the program, and drove countless miles to watch them play all over this nation. The worst thing was we played with no emotion, we didn't act like we knew this was our first conference game, and a home game against our biggest rivalry. Usually in the central-western games, in both football and basketball the home team uses the crowd and the emotion and gets the win, we didn't do that last night, in stead western was the team that played harder, and showed they wanted it more, and there is no excuse for that. In saying that, it is a long season, and I will not give up on this team. and I will always be proud to be a Chippewa

Pistons- they no longer have a game this year that they can't win. We are done with the Jazz for another season, thank god. There is just no chance, we can't beat them, the curse of okur is live and well. I still like the Pistons chances this year, to quietly get back to the conference finals

Wake-UNC- Great game, and now UNC is 0-2 in the ACC, I guess they are not going undefeated all you tarheel fans, which I said they wouldn't They are still very very good,and I still think they are the favorites to win it all. Wake is better then I thought they would be, and plus, a very very good home team.

UCLA-USC- caught a little of this game, thanks FSN Sunday night PAC 10 hoops, USC played as hard as they could and tried to win the game on their home floor, but the better team won, no question about it. UCLA is still my favorite to win the PAC 10.

Cards- If I watch anymore football this year, which I really might not, I will be cheering for the cards


Picks- That brings me to my Playoff picks, I went 2-2 last week, making me a disappointing 5-3 so far, so here are my AFC and NFC title picks

NFC Title: Phili at Cards- Since this game is home, I actually think the Cards have a chance to win, they are playing very good right now. Phili is a good team, and I remember saying a few weeks ago, they just have that look of the Giants last year, just getting in to the playoffs, and having to win 3 road games. They can do it, but I will be cheering for the Cards, so I might as well pick them to win. Cards win 35-27

AFC Title: Bal at Pit- This should be a great harnose, defensive football game. Should be a fun one to watch. Steelers are rested, but the Ravens just have that feel to them as well. Just for fun, I am going with the ravens to win 14-10

Big Monday- Tonight a few great games, of course there are always big games in the big east, but tonight the big 12 also has one with OK-Texas. Not only are they both good, but they don't like each other, it should be a good one, I will have to watch a little of the first half during breaks of 24, and then at 10 give it all my attention.

Other then that, I hope everyone has a great week, I am sure I will, since I will be in Hawaii. I'm right, you're wrong.
