It's that time of year again, when you think of 2009 what will YOU think of. Not what you need someone to remind you of, or read up on, but what will you remember.
Best:
1) MSU final four run- It did end just short, we will get there, but the run MSU made in the big dance was great, and at the right time and right place for the state of Michigan, beaing USC, Kansas, Louisville and UCONN in a row is a great run, even if they did get waxed by the Champs
2) the Super Bowl- A few plays I will always think of, the pick 6 before the half, Larry's long TD catch, and me actually thinking the Cards might win the Superbowl, and then of course the game winning catch that you have seen 1,569 times this year.
3) UNC basketball champs- I think of them high because even though I was cheering hard for MSU that was a great team, with a great college, note college, player on it, one of the all time best, not the best, but one, and they came back to win it, and they did. I love this about college sports.
4) CMU-MSU- For me this was big, it was great not just because we beat MSU in football at their place, after reading MSU fans on chat rooms all week saying how they are going to kill us 42-0 and no CMU player would start for MSU, but then it's a great game, we go for two and the win, don't get it, a laughing text from my best friend and MSU grad follows, then we get the onside kick, get to FG range, miss the first, offsides called... our kicker says he saw the flag and knew the first kick was just practice.. I don't really believe him, but that's ok, because, he then makes the second kick and CMU beats MSU in football.. again, we did it in 1991 and 1992 as well. Just a great game, and as always, it's great to be a Chippewa.
5) Roger- I am not a big tennis guy, but I actually enjoy watching him in major finals. They are just good sporting events
6) Yanks are back- After many years, and many many many millions of dollars the Yanks win again. Will this get everyone off of A-rod's back? well maybe until spring training starts again. But I guess when your payroll is over 75 million more then the next highest team, you should win right?
7) Fl does it again- Tebow started the year with another national title, and was undefeated all the way to the SEC title game this year.
8) Lakers take back the title- Kobe wins one as the alpha dog, he got his 4th to go with Shaq... and then Shaq goes to the Cavs.. umm, I am sure that isn't related at all. This may have been higher.. you tell me.
9) Pens-Wings-This again was not something I liked, since I was rooting for the Wings, big time, but give the Pens all the credit in the world, got down, fought back and won game 7 on the road to win the cup, you got to give it to them. I hope we can have round 3 this year, but the Wings need to get healthy and actually start playing good hockey first.
10) PSU VB- Yeah I went there. Maybe this is just because it happened like a week ago, but I remember it now. Down 2-0, for the first time in like 3 years, PSU rallied back to beat Texas 3 games in a row and win another national title, their 3rd in a row. Again, it was a great sports moment. If you just like sports, you should have watched it, and you would have appreciated it.
I am sure I am forgetting some, so let me know your list.
Worst:
1) Tiger- I just am really tired hearing about it. Can that story go away.
2) Air McNair-Gone too soon, so sad.
3) C Henery-another one that just happened, gone way too soon, it seemed like he was starting to get his life back in order.
4) Farve- It is rare that he gets pushed down this low, another year of is he retired or not, comes back and makes the pro bowl, yeah.. god I can't stand him.
5) Pistons era done- I have to have one personally one per list, at least, and this is mine this list, it was a great run of conference finals but it ended with a playoff appearance so short, 1st round sweep, I don't even think Tiger Woods had time to cheat on it. (sorry, that wasn't funny)
6) the Lions- I am not a lions fan but are they not the worst sports story of the year, because they are just so bad, they follow a 0-16 season up with what looks to be a 2-14, great job guys.. and the fans who celebrate one win like they won the super bowl, well actually we can't say that, because the Lions have never been to the super bowl, so we can't say
7) Giants-Panthers- I will once again use the personal and just happened rule to add something that happened 2 days ago. The Giants are coming off a great win at the Skins, they looked great, I know Wash sucks, but still, and then in their last home game at Giants stadium with LT and other Giant greats on hand, they lay a egg and lose 41-9 and get eliminated from any chance of the playoffs.. yeah that was a bad day for me.
8) Serena- I think saying you are going to kill a line judge falls in the category of a bad sports moment or story.
9) AL Central play in game- I will admit this is another personally one for me, and truthfully for me, it is way higher then 9 as far as worst sports moments of the year. The Tigers were up 3 games with 4 to play, only to choke to a one game playoff, played in Minn, and a extra inning game, which as far as just a baseball game goes was great, but for Tigers fans it was gut wrenching to watch, where both teams had great chances to win, the Twins finally did. Only good thing about this, I didn't have to get my hopes up and have the Tigers get killed in the postseason. It did take a lot out of me, I didn't watch one game start to finish in the playoffs, and didn't see one pitch of the world series.
10) Jimmy Johnson- Why is he here, nothing that he did. But the AP named him athlete of the year, which would be great, if he was a athlete.. so I am taking it out on him.
I am sure there are tons I left off, let me hear your best and worst sports moments or stories from 2009. Happy new year to all, and a great 2010 to you. I'm right you're wrong.

Things were going well....until
I had a great Birthday, dec 22, it started with the Giants playing the best half I have seen in the NFL in a long time, sure the Skins suck, but long TD drive, 3 and out, long TD drive, 3 and out, Long FG drive, 3 and out, Long TD drive, one 1st down, missed fake FG, half.. is damn good. Then Yesterday happened. The Giants come out and lay a egg in the last game at Giants Stadium and get killed by the Panthers, who had nothing to play for 41-9. Then the Cowboys won and the Giants, despite starting the year 5-0 will not make the playoffs this year. Now, I can not tell you how sad this makes me, and how much it ruined my day yesterday, but I do always try to be positive, since life is too short not to, so at least this way they will not get my hopes up, only to get killed in the playoffs, get a better draft pick, and they were playing without a few starters. The WR question really has been answered, as Hicks is going to be a stud and Steve Smith is a great possession receiver. Jacobs didn't have a good year, and that is cause for concerned, but with a improved passing game that will only help him, and he and Bradshaw are still a very good 1-2 punch. I have to think that this team will be back in the playoffs next year, but that is a long way away, so I will not worry about that right now.
The Pistons got RIP, TA TA, and Gordon back yesterday but still lost to the Raptors for their 7th loss in a row. After being down 19 at halftime, they did a nice job coming back and making a game out of it, and had some chances to win, having Big Ben in at the end when teams are just going to foul him and then him going 2-8 from the line, doesn't really help. However, my expectations for them are low, just make the playoffs, and in the east, I see no reason why they can't get use to having their guys back now and make the playoffs.
Meyer was done, now he is just taking some time off. I hope things work out for him, and there is nothing to wrong with his health. You coach at FL, you are loaded with athletes, relax. It's the coach at Louis-Monroe who plays him that should be the worried one.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish everyone a happy new year, tomorrow I will be doing my top ten best and worst sports stories/moments of the year. Note: I know the decade is also over and a lot of people will be doing stuff like that, but I don't have time, my two year old, my wife, and my job keep me busy enough. I'm right, you're wrong.

A sad day
I was very sad to hear the passing of Chris Henry who passed away early this morning. He had his share of problems in the past but for afar it looked like maybe he had turned a corner and was doing a lot better. Just a sad story. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family, the saddest part is he leaves behind 3 children. RIP Chris.
Changing topics, Tiger Woods was named AP athlete of the decade. Now if you think of a athlete as someone who participates in sports, and if you think of golf as a sport then you should have no problem with Woods being named Athlete of the decade. However I do not consider golf a sport, I consider it a recreational activity, something that you do with friends for fun on a nice summer day, having a couple of cold ones, enjoying yourself. I don't think of things like speed, endurance, power, strength, jumping ability, those are the things I think of when I hear the word Athlete. What Lance Armstrong did was amazing, now he has endurance, and some speed, and to also run marathons he is clearly a great athlete. Phelps won 14 gold medals in the decade and 22 golds at the world championships, he is a a great athlete. Anyone can play golf, sure they can't play it as well as Tiger, and of course he is good at what he does, and golf is very hard to be good at, but it isn't hard to play. Could Tiger play any other sport? maybe, maybe not, but calling him athlete of the decade makes me sick, because I don't even consider him an athlete. Using my definition, someone who is strong, quick, powerful, can jump, run far and fast, how can he be on the list, also how can Jimmy Johnson, who drives a damn car around a track in a circle for a few hours gets one vote, but Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward of all time, who won 3 titles in the decade, or Kobe, who won 4 titles in the decade not get one vote. Then Albert P who won the NL triple crown for the decade plus one title and got to another one only got one vote. Really one vote. Albert got the same amount of votes as a NASCAR driver... really? I give up. I wouldn't even mind as much if Roger Federer would have won. He dominated his sport more then Tiger, 15 grand slams, to Tiger's 12, and he made 21 grand slam finals overall, and has been in 17 of the last 18, and was number one for a record 237 weeks ( about 4 and a half years) He is someone with endurance and get eye hand coordination and power as well. To be fair, you need to do seperate ones for team sport and individual athletes. I would put Phelps one, Lance two, Roger 3, Tiger Four, then for team sports put Albert one, Duncan 2, kobe 3, and Brady 4.
Coach Jones has left CMU and will be the new head coach at Cinci. I wish him well, and would like to thank him for what he did for my school here at CMU. He took over a program that had success but he kept that success going and added even more success. He won 2 MAC titles in 3 years, got to 3 bowl games, beat 2 big ten teams, and we are currently ranked 25th in the nation sitting at 11-2. I do not know him personally but did get a chance to know his wife Barb, and oldest son Alex,since I coached Alex on his 7th grade basketball team, we went undefeated at 10-0, just wanted to throw that out there, and they could not be better people, so I wish the entire Jones family well and I now will be quietly rooting for Cinci in the next few years. CMU has named Associate head coach and defensive end coach Steve Stripling the interim head coach though the bowl game. I am happy with that choice just on the things I have read about him, and I have faith that the team will be ready for the bowl game and will beat Troy. I also have all the faith in Mr Heeke, our AD that who ever he hires as our next head coach will be the right man for the job. I'm right, you're wrong.

Next Man In?
Last night it was reported by many many sources that CMU head coach Butch Jones, is now ex CMU coach, and new Head Coach at Cincinnati. Nothing have been confrimed by CMU offically now, but there is a press conference tonight. Once things are offical I will then give my thoughts. I'm right, you're wrong

Tuesday Top ten (dec 15 )
Another Tuesday, lets do another Tuesday Top Ten, the year is almost over and a top ten best and worst sports moments/stories are coming but today, lets do the top ten bowl match ups this year. ( I will not put in CMU-Troy since I know no one cares about that bowl game besides me and other CMU fans)
1) Texas-Bama- It has to be number one because it is for the national title, plus you have the whole Heisman winner going against a Heisman finalist and, and Colt came back to win a national title, and now he is one game away. The mighty SEC against the big 12, who will win. Pick: Texas 28 Bama 24
2) WVU-FSU- I have this game this high because of Bowden's last game, I am intrested to see what happenes. Pick FSU 28 WVU 17
3) da U-Wisconsin- This game to me could be a great one. You have Wisconsin who has a great record, but truthfully no really good wins, who is a power team who runs the ball and plays good defense, then you got the U, athletic, quick, strong, fast, and earier this year, they looked to be BCS bound. Well even though they had some tough losses, I still like this to be a very good game. Pick: Da U 24 Wis 17
4) TCU-BSU- I wish these teams got to show what they were made up against BCS team, but oh well. This should be a great game, but now that Boise doesn't get to play a bowl game at home, can they win. Pick: TCU 35 BSU 21
5) UGA Tech-Iowa- This game is interesting to me for a few reasons, one it is also interesting to see how big ten teams play in bowl games, since lets be honest the last few years have not been good and they have taking a hit as a conference overall. Some feel, Adam Tate for one, that the big ten has some good bowl match ups this year, besides MSU, who is playing Texas Tech, the worst match up for them, a team that throws the ball, so we will see how the big ten does this year. The other reason is UGA Tech's offense, lets see what happens when a team has a full month to do nothing but prepare for the triple option. Should be a good game. Pick: UGA Tech 24 Iowa 21
6) Fl-Cinci- Why this game is on the list? cause I can't wait to watch Fl put up 60 points on Cinci's defense. They can't stop anyone, now they play a Fl team that just laid a big time egg in the SEC title game, aka BCS championship semi final, and it will be Tim Tebow's last game. I don't like Fl and I don't like Tebow, but I also have no love lost for Cinci. Will Jeff Quinn be able to do it again, and step in once BK leavs and coach a team to a bowl win like he did for CMU 3 years ago. The bad news for Jeff, he isn't coaching a more talented CMU team against Middle Tenn State at Ford Field, which is like a home game for CMU, he is coaching Cinci against the defending national champs in a game in SEC country, good luck Jeff. Pick: Fl 56 Cinci 31
7) OSU-Oregon- Not to upset my friend Adam Tate, because he is a good guy, but I worry about his OSU team in this one. There will be a lot of pressure on them to actually win a big game, and it is a great chance for them to make a statment, and say to the world, "hey we don't suck." Well Oregon doesn't either. the big ten needs this win bad, but I'm sorry, I don't see it. I hope I'm wrong. Pick: Oregon 31 OSU 21
8) Nebraska-Zona- Two very good defenses, this might not be a high scoring game, but that doesn't mean it will not be exciting. Pick Nebraska 14 Zona 10
9) Air Force-Houston- Why you ask? Air Force runs a lot, Houston's D doesn't stop the run, Houston throws a lot, and puts up big numbers against anyone, then you got the fact that Houston is a little upset about how they played in their conference title game, and you have what I think will be a good game to watch. but I have been wrong before. The biggest problem if Houston gets on them early, Air Force does not throw well enough to get back in the game, they just run so much.. of course if they can run a lot, keep the ball and Houston's offense off the field, maybe, they have a chance, but I don't see it. Pick: Houston 38 Air Force 24
10) Clemson-Kentucky- I don't think you can go wrong here. Two good teams, with good fan bases who usually travel well, especially to this bowl. I have been to both places and the people were very very nice, so I like both teams and wish them well. CJ Spiller is always worth tuning in for, and each team didn't have as successful season as they would have hoped and want to end it on a better note. Clemson lost a tough one in the ACC title game, and any bowl for them, like the big ten is a chance to make a statement about the conference as a whole, especially against the SEC, who the national media swings from their nuts on a daily basis. Basically the second or third best ACC team needs to beat the 5th or 6th best SEC team for anyone to take them seriously. Should be a great Sunday night match up on December 27. Pick: Clemson 28 Kentucky 21
Let me know what you think will be the best bowls. I'm right, you're wrong.

good day, bad night
Yesterday was great and bad for me. CMU Basketball had a big win over South Florida on the road. Now it is true that South Fl was without their leading scorer, and they are not a great big east, or they are one of the worst, right their with Depaul. So that was great, and hopefully the guys, now at 4-5 and keep the momentum going. It was also bad for me though because the Giants lost to Phi despite putting up 38 points. If you would have told me before the game that the Giants would score 38 points I would be so happy cause I thought it would be a big easy win. But nope, not the case. Fumble recovering for a TD, a punt return for a TD, just too many mistakes. Eli slide feet first please, so you don't hit the ground and fumble, that would be great. The defense has some injuries but they need to stop any offense better then that. Now Phil will win the division and the Giants need to win a wild card if they want to make the playoffs. With 3 games remaining they have to beat the skins and Panthers and then lets hope the Viks have the 2nd seed clinched, and can't catch the Saints, and the Viks rest their guys, and the Giants in a must win, and they win out and go 10-6 and win a wild card. That is my dream, that is my hope, and I will have faith.
The Pistons and Wings are both playing better. Pistons have won 5 in a row, and RIP even came back, so that was nice to see. I keep telling people, they will make the playoffs, and I stand by my 6 seed pick, as of now. Wings will get some guys back and make the playoffs, and then they can beat anyone.
Congrats to MSU for not having any football player arrested over the weekend, way to go guys.
Congrats to Mark Ingram for winning the Heisman, even though Suh should have won, since he was the best college football player, but oh well. Congrats to Mark, who did go to Flint Southwestern, so SVL love.
Another good weekend of College Basketball, again John Wall is still sick, and NBA/NHL and of course the NFL. GVSU almost won another D2 national title but couldn't get it done, after being down big early.
CMU has a lot of unrest going on right now since Coach Jones has come up in many different schools search for a new coach. With Marshall being the school that has come up the most. Cinci is also something that has come up. But I don't think that will happen. I just don't think you want to be the guy who keeps following BK to every job he goes to. You do good, it's cause of his players, and if you don't, you are a step down. I really hope he stays, but conference USA is better then the MAC as far as national level, and it is more money, so we shall see. But I really hope he stays, hopefully we will know soon, since at least then we can move on, we have a bowl to get ready for, and a good recruiting class in the works. I'm right, you're wrong.

Cinci is also something that has come up. But I don't think that will happen. I just don't think you want to be the guy who keeps following BK to every job he goes to. You do good, it's cause of his players, and if you don't, you are a step down. I really hope he stays, but conference USA is better then the MAC as far as national level, and it is more money, so we shall see. But I really hope he stays, hopefully we will know soon, since at least then we can move on, we have a bowl to get ready for, and a good recruiting class in the works. I'm right, you're wrong.

Good win for the Pistons
Playing the 76ers in Phili the Pistons got a must win. It was a good game and good win. They just need to try to stay a float until they get healthy, they have had a lot of injury problems, but it is nice to get them out of the way early, hopefully. We can get RIP and Tay back, Gordon get back, Charlie V can get back to 100% and start, so we don't have to start Chuckie Atkins and Jason M, with Jonas, I mean wow, good thing we still won. I really think as long as they stay around 500 we will be making the playoffs, which is all I want for this team this year, just make the playoffs, give yourself a chance, be it not a good one, but still a chance.
The Wins gave up a goal in the first 3 minutes of the game last night to the Blues and despite having lots of good chances and 42 shots on Ty Coklin, their backup last year, they lost 1-0. They need to get some people back too, but as long as they make the playoffs they will be ok, I really believe this.
UCONN-Ken was a good game last night at MSG. Ken is really playing well. I know they have a great recruiting class, and Patrick Paterson, with coach Cal, but I have been surprised how well they have played so soon in the year. Beating UNC and UConn in the same week, is very impressive. Oh, and this just in, and you can not say this enough. John Wall is a stud.
Michigan lost big at Utah last night, they are in some trouble. I like Coach B a lot, and I really have faith that they will be ok, but they need some leadership and they need to be able to shoot the ball well or they are not going to do well. Maybe they had a little too much success last year so expectations were raised, before they should have been. They are in need of some big wins if they want to make the big dance right now. Beating Uconn at home would be a great start. I'm right, you're wrong.

Good Bye Granderson and Jackson
The Tigers got ride of their starting 2b, starting CF and their number 2 starter in the last week. The good news, they did resign their starting SS who hits 230, yeah. He does play good defense at least. At first I will admit, I hated this deal, I love Curtis a lot, though he did think last year all of a sudden he was a power hitter, and he stopped hitting doubles, triples and stealing bases, but he still had a decent year, and is a great defender in center, and Comerica has a lot of room to cover. Now sure he can't hit left handers to save his life, but he is still relatively young, turns 29 before the year, and I think he has some good years left. But then, I thought about it, listen to what other people had to say, both good and bad things, and I relaxed a little. First we get back Austin Jackson who is a top CF prospect and was rated as the #27 best prospect in all of baseball. He is athletic, can hit, and a good defender, and very well become a very good center fielder. I don't really like the fact of trading a good center fielder for someone who could become one, but Granderson's contract was back heavy in turns of money, so it clears up a lot of room that way. We also get 3 pitchers back. Max Scherzer is a good young pitcher who gets a lot of strike outs, which is why I like him in fantasy. And being a number 3 pitcher could give him a chance to do well. Plus Cooke is a lefty who should be a upgrade in that lefty bullpen spot, and then you got Daniel Schlereth, the son of ex NFL and ESPN talking head Mark. So we are cutting payroll I guess that is something we need to do, but I was hoping we would just hold on for one more year, because after this year Mags, and his big contract, Bonderman, Robertson, and D-train and their really big, sicking contracts will be gone and then we have some room to move. It looks like we gave it a shot last year, lost in the one game playoff, so we lost the central, after having a 3 game lead with 4 to play, and now we are going to save money so we can resign Verlander next year, which they need to do, and then build around him and Cabera, aka manny jr. I just hope the team can still at least be competitive and we don't go back to a 100 loss season. I have faith that this team can still at least contend in the central, but I think the White Sox will be better, and I don't see how the Indians can't be better, plus the Twins will still be the Twins, and one of these years KC has to do something right? well maybe not, but the other three I worry about.
So after going crazy, being upset, settling down, and relaxing a bit, I am ok with the trade. I just really hope Zumaya gets back healthy because my two Tiger t-shirt jerseys are Granderson and Zumaya, and if Joel never gets back I will need to buy at least one more, if not two. So now that that is over, we can focus on things that happen way before the start of baseball season.
HS Basketball started last night for the boys in Michigan and my Mt Pleasant boys won by 23 over Midland. Not bad as far as first games go, but we will find out much much more about this team Friday against Saginaw Arthur Hill, should be a good game. We got lots of snow, and schools are closed today, and more is on the way, but hopefully that will not affect the Friday games in Michigan.
AI will be playing tonight as the 76ers take on the Pistons that should be fun, the Wings also play tonight, and both of those teams need a win. I'm not going to lie, it hasn't been the easiest time ever to live in Michigan and be a sports fan. I mean I was born in New Jersey, and thus am a Giants fan, but the Tigers and Pistons are my team, and I like the Wings as well as the Devils. Luckily my Alma Mater, CMU is 11-2 and ranked 25th in the nation, and is the best football team in Michigan this year, of course, sadly, that isn't saying much. I'm right, you're wrong.

Top Ten Tuesday (dec 8)
I have not done a Top Ten Tuesday in a long time but I hope to bring it back, so lets do it today. I will be doing my top ten best and worst sports moments of the year again, so I am thinking about those, but today lets go with my top ten favorite NBA players right now:
1) Chris Kaman- I know him, we had some classes together at CMU, so he gets the top spot, none of the other guys on the list, I know personally
2) Shaq- I have always loved him, and still do, it makes it harder that he is on the Cavs now.
3) Sheed- Another guy who makes it harder now that he is on the Celtics, but he is my boy, so I got to be true to him and his crazy ass
4) Josh Smith- I love the dude, for fantasy purposes and the fact that he is so much fun to watch play
5) CP3- See #4, and I did like him since College since he went to Wake as the same time as a buddy of mine who is now playing in Germany.
6) Rudy Gay- See #4, he is a freak, and also I quietly like a lot of UCONN guys
7) Ray Allen- Again it is tough when he went to the Celtics but he has been a favorite ever since his wonderful debut in He Got Game.
8) Austin Daye- It took number 8 for my Piston love to shine though, but it had to make the top ten. I liked Daye a lot in college at Gonzaga, another school that I quietly like, and I wanted the Pistons to pick him, and when they did I was very happy, I would very much like a Austin Daye Piston's jersey for my Birthday, Dec 22 or Christmas.. just throwing it out there.
9) Adam Morrison- He really should be higher, but he barely plays, so I can't put him any higher, but he does need to still be in my top ten due to the huge man crush I had on him while he was in college. It makes me sad to see how little he plays and how bad he has done in the NBA, but if you don't play any defense, you are not that fast, and you really don't have a great shot, you just found ways to score a lot, eventually that will catch up with you. So sad, sorry Adam.
10) Steph Curry- Only a Rookie but I am a fan, loved what I saw from him in college and was lucky enough to be at the Davidson-Wisconsin game in the sweet 16. James Harden and Jennings are the other two who had a chance of getting this spot, but I have liked Curry longer, so he wins out.
Have a great day, we are all waiting for the coaching dominoes to start falling... Just go to ND already BK, we know you are going to. I'm right, you're wrong.

Big win for my G--men, Bowl games, and other weekend stuff
The Giants got a big win yesterday at home against the hated Cowboys. Keeping them one game back in the NFC east, and they have beaten Dallas twice. They are 3-1 in the East with Phil at home and at the skins still to go. I feel good about their playoff chances but I don't feel that great about them making a run in the playoffs. But I still want them to get there, because once you are in, you never know what will happen. It was nice to see Brandon Jacobs actually do something yesterday, I have been waiting all year. He needs to keep doing it. That was a great win to make up for the bad game on Thanksgiving against Denver which ruined my Holiday.
The Steelers lost again, this time to the Raiders.. again I say, the NFL makes zero sense.
The Cards looked good last night, and it is always nice to see the Viks and Farve lose, sorry, I just don't want him, I want him to leave, and not come back, for any reason.
The Bowl match ups are set and there are some good ones, and others that you couldn't pay me to watch. Free Show in Bobby Bowden's last game playing WVU, where Bowden use to coach, is a interesting match up. That could be a good game. Texas and Bama play in the national title game, I like Bama in that game, but of course if for the next 6 weeks everyone says that Bama will win and Texas is going to get killed, then they may just come out and have a really good game. Adam Tate agrees with me, so you know it has to be true, sadly for him he is still mourning the fact that Evan Turner got hurt and will miss 8 weeks. OSU has a tough few games coming up as well. Hopefully for them he can be back the first week of February or so and they can still have a nice tournament run. He was a major player of the year candidate and it is too bad he got hurt, he is a stud. BSU and TCU got jabbed big time having to play each other in a bowl. If the Bama/Texas winner really wants to gain respect they will offer to play the winner of that game the next week and if they win, they will give them the national title. This could happen, just get a field, pay some refs, and sell tickets, I promise a TV station will pick it up. Of course if Cinci beats FL, which they will not, they too could be in this game. But the Gators are going to put up 50 against that defense, and Pike and friends may put up 35 against FL, if that. There are many more good bowl match ups but I have lots of time to talk about that in the next few weeks. I do think it is funny MSU plays Texas Tech without two of their best 3 WR, and without a starting CB, especially considering they already can't stop the pass, good thing they are not playing a team that passes a lot, oh wait, never mind. This lead to this exchange via text with me and my best friend Scott, who is a MSU grad.
Scott: CMU Beats MSU, but at least we still get a Bowl game.
ME: yeah against Tech who throws a lot, they may put up 50
Scott: yeah but then we will set their campus on fire and loot their stores so I bet tech holds a respectful 17 point cushion.
MSU fans everyone.. you got to love them.
CMU got ranked this weekend, they are 25th. They won their 3rd conference title in 4 years, which is great, sadly they just got Troy in the GMAC bowl, because ND pussied out and didn't want to play in a bowl... which is dumb, cause they could use the extra practice time, even if BK isn't there yet to coach them.. I was a little wrong about that, I thought as soon as he wasn't in the national title game he would be there.. so maybe he is meeting with them now, and the announcement will come soon. But I would like to thank Clemson, Houston, and USC loosing to open up those spots for CMU. So thanks to them.
That is all for now, I will be waiting for Chad T to do some serious roasting of this and all of my spelling and grammar mistakes. I must also do some, key word some, work before noon ball and lunch. I'm right, you're wrong.

It was the year
The Big ten finally won a Big Ten/ACC Challenged and I am very happy about that. I really do think the Big Ten is a very good and deep conference. MSU lost at UNC but they will be fine. I was surprised that Minnesota lost to da U, and Michigan lost at home to BC, I thought those two games would go the other way. But I also didn't think Clemson would lose at home to Ill. That was a very big win, but of course the biggest win of the challenged came from Bo Ryan and Wisconsin. Leading John Corwin, who works with me and is a big Wisconsin fan to give us this gem this mourning. "you don't just walk in to the Kohl Center and get a win" well Duke found that out the hard way. OSU also rolled over Free Shoe, leaving another friend in the officer, and a big OSU fan to give us the following " Evan Turner is well on his way to being player of the year." Which was quickly followed by Corwin adding, "clearly you haven't seen Trevon Hughes play. For the record, Turner is averaging 20.6 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 6'6 assist a game, Hughes is at 16.2, 4.3 and 2.0. Not really the same. But it was a great win for the Big Ten, ILL came back from 24 down on the road at Clemson to get a big 2 point win, that and the Wisconsin game was the two big ones.
Last night was also a very big night for CMU as our woman's basketball team beat #24th ranked and defending national runner up Louisville 84-75. It was a great game, and a big win. A lot of fun, minus the idiot who pulled a fire alarm in the student activity center and thus we had to clear the entire SAC and Rose. That 30 minute delay wasn't fun, but it was a great game, and I am very happy for our girls, and the staff, who do a great job.
Tiger released a statement yesterday finally about his "transgressions" I really don't care to talk about it. But I will add, if your wife is hot, and you are in the public spot lite, you shouldn't cheat. It's just not a good idea, you have to stay with the family and not be going for any new girls, as Chris Rock says, new pussy can't cook. Other then that, I will let EPSN handle all the Tiger talk.. I know they will not let me down, since they will talk about it more then Farve/Clemson and TO put together.
In news that is only important to a few, Noon Ball yesterday went great. The premiere game of one Daniel F Heck went great. He did a wonderful job. He went 2-4 on the day, 1-2 from 3, got a rebound or two, and even though he may play worst defense then the Nets, actually that is mean to the Nets,it was still fun and I hope he keeps playing. Game MVP was Big Hick for sure, he really brought it yesterday and dominated fellow "brash bro" John "jumbo" Corwin. I did a decent job of staying out of the way, which is when I am at my best in Basketball, but I did have a couple lay ups and got a few rebounds so it wasn't that bad of a performance. I'm right, you're wrong.

3rd times not the charm
Tough day for MSU, not only do they find out 8 more football players are suspended due to a fight on November 22, in that group Mark Dell and BJ Cunningham, two of their top 3 WR, and Chris L Rucker one of their starting CB, be it, the worst starting CB in the nation. But then their basketball team lost for the 3rd time in a year to UNC. UNC lost a lot but they still have a lot of talent, and if you shoot 2-20 from the 3 point line on the road against a top 10-15 team you are not going to win. They did battle back a little, but then giving up two offensive rebounds on miss FT's in the final minute just can not happen. I know that drove Coach Izzo crazy. They will be fine though, they go through this tough games in November and December, and once March comes around they are ready and tested. They will at least get to the elite 8.
The Tiger Woods stuff is just crazy, and I don't want to talk about it, ESPN will do that enough for the both of us. Maybe when actually facts are out I will say something about it, but for now, no.
The B10/ACC Challenged is tied at 3, this is the year, the big ten needs to win it this year, they just need to
Now it is time to go to a tradition unlike any other. Noon ball at CMU. Today is a special day as it is the noon ball premier of one Daniel F Heck... it should be fun. Hopefully Rory, AKA B Ho can put on a show, as well as Big hick. It's game time, hopefully I can hit a shot or two, and get a few rebounds and the guy I am guarding doesn't score too much and I can help my team get a win. I'm, right, you're wrong.

Lots and lots to get to
I have been very busy but so many things have happened I have to get caught up.
Charlie is out at ND, which needed to happen. He just didn't win enough to keep his job, no question about that. I predict Cinci to beat Pit on Saturday and Brian Kelley will tell his players that he will stay and this is where he wants to be, and then he will leave the next day and be announced as the ND coach on Monday.
Bobby Bowden has retired, and Jimbo Fisher will take over at free shoe. One guy who is really happy, coach Shannon and da U, they are now the legit number two program in that state, FSU will have some work to do to get back, they are no longer a top program.
Big Ten/ACC challenge started last night with PSU getting a nice road win at Virgina. Those are the big games for the big ten to win, if they want to finally actually win one of these. The big game is tonight with MSU-UNC, and as much as I am cheering for MSU in that game, UNC is still very good, and it should be a great game. I am very much looking forward to watching it, after getting back from the CMU game, they play Chicago State tonight at 7pm.. in a game that will not be covered as much in the national media.. or at all.
Bama-Fl is almost here, this week we will finally get to see those teams play, and as long as Nebraska doesn't somehow beat Texas, which they have about as much chance of doing as Carmen Electra walking in here right now and blowing me, the national title game is set, and the Fl-Bama winner will play Texas when they play the National title in 6 weeks, or when ever it is.
The NFL makes no sense sometimes.. ok, actually the NFL usually doesn't make sense. My Giants are really upsetting me. They are suppose to be built on running the ball and stopping the run and they haven't done either this year. All of a sudden we need to throw the ball 50 times cause we want to show Eli is a elite QB and worth the money they just paid him. I will save you the trouble. He isn't worth the money and not a elite QB.
The Saints and Colts keep looking good and are still undefeated. The Saints are looking almost unstoppable at this point, and the Colts just find ways to win. Or the teams they playing find ways to lose. The Texans were up 14-0, and then 20-3 I believe, and still lost 35-27... wonderful.
Here is the key for college basketball teams in these early season tournaments, you can lose one game, but don't lose two, Michigan and Minnesota I'm looking at you. It is fine to play bad once, just don't do it again the next day.
There is way too many other things going on to talk about right now, so I will stop now and get back to work. I'm right, you're wrong.

Bobby Bowden has retired, and Jimbo Fisher will take over at free shoe. One guy who is really happy, coach Shannon and da U, they are now the legit number two program in that state, FSU will have some work to do to get back, they are no longer a top program.
Big Ten/ACC challenge started last night with PSU getting a nice road win at Virgina. Those are the big games for the big ten to win, if they want to finally actually win one of these. The big game is tonight with MSU-UNC, and as much as I am cheering for MSU in that game, UNC is still very good, and it should be a great game. I am very much looking forward to watching it, after getting back from the CMU game, they play Chicago State tonight at 7pm.. in a game that will not be covered as much in the national media.. or at all.
Bama-Fl is almost here, this week we will finally get to see those teams play, and as long as Nebraska doesn't somehow beat Texas, which they have about as much chance of doing as Carmen Electra walking in here right now and blowing me, the national title game is set, and the Fl-Bama winner will play Texas when they play the National title in 6 weeks, or when ever it is.
The NFL makes no sense sometimes.. ok, actually the NFL usually doesn't make sense. My Giants are really upsetting me. They are suppose to be built on running the ball and stopping the run and they haven't done either this year. All of a sudden we need to throw the ball 50 times cause we want to show Eli is a elite QB and worth the money they just paid him. I will save you the trouble. He isn't worth the money and not a elite QB.
The Saints and Colts keep looking good and are still undefeated. The Saints are looking almost unstoppable at this point, and the Colts just find ways to win. Or the teams they playing find ways to lose. The Texans were up 14-0, and then 20-3 I believe, and still lost 35-27... wonderful.
Here is the key for college basketball teams in these early season tournaments, you can lose one game, but don't lose two, Michigan and Minnesota I'm looking at you. It is fine to play bad once, just don't do it again the next day.
There is way too many other things going on to talk about right now, so I will stop now and get back to work. I'm right, you're wrong.
