Seahawks vs. Bears – Divisional Playoffs Preview

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

I’m not sure if this is a dream come true, or a nightmare. I imagine that the outcome of Sunday’s game will go far in determining that. My hometown team, the Chicago Bears, face the Seahawks who happen to represent the city that I currently live in. Make no mistake, I have a clear rooting [...]

Florida vs. Ohio State – BCS National Championship Game Recap

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Well, I have to admit, that the BCS National Championship game did not turn out the way that I anticipated. Coming in I thought the Gators were over-matched. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

First of all, we learned that Rex Grossman and Brian Griese both has serious flaws as starting quarterbacks. The tandem combined for 5 interceptions and one lost [...]

Michigan vs. USC – Rose Bowl Recap

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Outplayed and outcoached. I want to leave it at that, but it would probably be better for me if I was able to let it out. So I will try. The Rose Bowl (presented by Citi, of course) left me with a lot of questions.

Why does Michigan shit the bed in bowl games?
Are Pete Carroll [...]
