College: Let's start with Ohio State. They played a great game continuing to demonstrate why they are #1. Joe P. left the field early. He just ran off the field. There was no mention why. At his age, I kind of wondered if he had to go pee. Nope - I found out later he was battling the flu. What a coach, though, to show up and try and work the game while he must have been feeling that bad.
Tennessee won the game against Marshall. Not a shocker there, but a win is a win. Go VOLS!!!!
USC again continues with another win. They could easily be #1, so it may come down to schedules this year. Go USC! Pete Carroll is one hell of a college coach.
BC lost in a heartbreaker. The game came down to the last 8 seconds. NC State came from behind with a TD. Oh, and BC had led all the way to the end. I was so dejected by such a shocking loss that I just went to bed. It was after 11pm afterall, and ND was losing sadly to Michigan - by a lot.
I got up on Sunday, sat down to read my sports page, and what do I see? An amazing comeback by ND in less than 3 minutes to play in the game!! Unbelievable! The game I did NOT stay up and watch. Go figure...that will teach me. Go ND!!!!!!
LSU had an awesome display of offense this weekend. I am not a fan of LSU, but I know a lot of my friends are, so I have to give a little here.
NFL: WEll the Jets beat Buffalo. Good game! The scores were not too far away. And Miami went past Tennessee for the win. NE faltered to Denver in the evening. Poor NE. They really have a tough time with Denver every year. I cannot always figure out why, but they certainly have Coach B figured out. Hmmm...the AFC East is shaping up as interesting, huh?
I actually spent time watching the Bengals and Pit. The cats did a wonderful job exploiting any weakness that Pit had that day. Indy beat Jax, and I was not surprised by that win. Go Peyton and Co. I am not so much an Indy fan. I am a Manning fan. Seattle showed the Giants why they went to the Superbowl and not them. They looked great everywhere on Sunday. Poor Eli and Co.
The thrill of the week was last nights game at NO! The crowd was crazy, and the game was too fantastic. NO could do no wrong. The Brees/Bush duo totally outdid the Vick/Dunn duo last night. I said it last night, and it's worth saying again - I would have hated to be a falcon last night. They had to have felt something in the air the minute they came in. They had to know they were NOT America's team last night, and I could only imagine how they must have felt. But - NO did a super job! They hosted their first home game, and it was spectacular. Is this a new era in NO football? They are 3-0. Only 6 teams are 3-0.
SIDE NOTE:: A HUGE thank you to both Franklin and Iceman for hanging out with me during the game! It helped me stay up as long as I could take it. Thanks loads! It was a lot of fun! (I am up at 5am on weekdays, so going to bed as late as that makes it rough the next day...so far I made it.)
