Of Losing And The Fall Classic

There were just a few things I wanted to get out there today. First of all, all three of my fav football teams losing this weekend. That would be (to those that don't know already) The Oklahoma Sooners, Notre Dame Fightin' Irish, and and Denver Broncos. Yes it was a tough week for me. The Irish I at least knew would suck it up on the gridiron, but it hurt worse to know that it could esaily have been a victory. The major problem for them is, well, everything. No identity on offense, a think defense, very depressing. But don't let the lack of on the field success fool you, Charlie Wies is the still the man. Sure, Ty Willingham was fired for less, but he also did less. 2 BCS bowls, Ty was putting us in the Sun Bowl or whatever, I don't even remember. And don't forget, it was recruiting that was a major factor in Ty getting fired. Sure, he brought in Brady Quinn, Jeff Samardizja, and Maurice Stovall. But, what did he do with those players. Brady Quinn was laughable before Weis. And currently, based on commitments and who you ask, Notre Dame and Charlie have the top ranked recruiting class.

Racism was not the issue in Willingham getting the pink slip.

As for the Sooners and Broncos, both were disapointing as well. The Sooners offense couldn't give the defense a rest in that altitude. Plus, Bob Stoops had a moronic moment in which he didn't bother to use his timeout when the clock was ticking away for Colorado to have a game-winning oppurtunity. At least you'd think he'd try to ice the kicker. The Broncos have another problem. That would be the Run D. They're giving up more than 25 more rushing yards per game than they are earning to the likes of Marshawn Lynch, LaMont Jordan, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Joseph Addai. Sure, Jay Cutler is young and making a few mistakes, but he still has tremendous upside, and really his stastistics are not that bad.


Victory for OU and Nic Harris just out of reach

Now for the MLB playoffs. I still can't get over the Mets. How do you not make the playoffs after leading a division for over 5 months? However, I'm happy for the Philies as they are full of likeable players. Also, the Rockies were able to finish off the Padres in the play-in game last night. That was quite a game, let me tall ya. Helton, Holiday, and Tulowitzki are also likeable players.



That's a game-winner

Looking at the matchups now, the most intriguing first rounder in the AL is Cleveland and New York, for the NL, Cubs and Arizona. If the Yankees were playing anyonw other than the Indians, I'd pick them to win it all. But I gotta stick by my team, so I've got Cleveland winning a thrilling 5-game series. In the World Seires, I've got Boston and the Cubs! Of course, Boston will dominate Chi Town, but that would be a fun series. Alright, can't wait to see what happens, cya.
