The Wolverines have ripped off 7 straight wins as they head into East Lansing this weekend to take on instate rival Michigan State. The Spartans are in the perpetual rebuilding process and have first year coach Mike Dantoni at the helm.
Michigan comes in still a little dinged up. Chad Henne and Mike Hart both [...]

Michigan vs. Michigan State Preview
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007SEC Preview – Week 8 – Florida vs. Georgia
Friday, October 26th, 2007“The world’s largest outdoor cocktail party” and my SEC game of the week. This annual match up is played in Jacksonville at a “neutral” site. This is not really a neutral site as the Heisman hopeful quarterback of Florida, Tim Tebow, is from a Jacksonville native. Tebow will be wearing a target [...]
SEC Preview – Week 8 – South Carolina vs. Tennessee
Friday, October 26th, 2007Ask the Georgia Bulldogs about playing in Neyland Stadium, it is no picnic. After getting beaten at home by Vanderbilt last week, the Gamecocks go to Knoxville to face a reborn Tennessee Volunteer team. Erik Ainge is back after his finger injury and is throwing the ball well, the defense of Tennessee is [...]
SEC Preview – Week 8 – Mississippi vs. Auburn
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Ed Orgeron will have Mississippi ready to face the Auburn Tigers on Saturday. Tommy Tuberville’s Tigers had a shot to beat LSU last week and let it slip away, so I expect a very fired up team to show up for Auburn. I think it will take a solid effort on their part [...]
SEC Preview – Week 8 – Mississippi State vs. Kentucky
Thursday, October 25th, 2007This is a sleeper upset waiting to happen. Kentucky is spent after LSU and Florida and this is a Mississippi State team that beat Auburn. They have something to prove and a tired beat up Kentucky team better bring it.
My Prediction:
Kentucky 28
Mississippi State 20
Colorado Rockies vs. Boston Red Sox – 2007 World Series
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007The Fall Classic is upon us. One team was expected to be here, the other had to string together one of the hottest streaks in baseball history to even make the playoffs (winning 21 of their last 22). These teams are built differently and for different reasons.
The Red Sox are built to dominate. They [...]
Should it surprise us that South Florida lost to Rutgers?
Friday, October 19th, 2007No. Rutgers came into this season ranked 16th in the AP Poll. Their season took slide when they lost 2 in a row against Maryland and Cincinnati, but this is a good team.
South Florida was way overrated. They beat a good Auburn team on the road. That’s a good win, but that doesn’t make [...]

Congratulations to Clint Hurdle and all of the Colorado Rockies. They’re headed to the first World Series in franchise history.
Obviously I missed the boat on the Rockies. I haven’t picked them in a playoff series yet. And what have they done? Won every single game. Don’t they know they’re making [...]
Cleveland Indians vs. Boston Red Sox – 2007 ALCS Preview
Friday, October 12th, 2007This matchup pits two teams that have been put together very differently. Boston is an established team with dominant veteran pitching, and Cleveland is a young team whose young pitchers have led the way for them this year. The lineups for each of these teams are similar to their pitching staffs. The Red Sox have [...]
Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks – 2007 NLCS Preview
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007The team with the best record in the NL (Diamondbacks) will face the hottest team over the last month (Rockies) in the 2007 NLCS. Arizona holds home field advantage due to their better record. This should make for a very interesting story. I still have doubts about both teams. Granted, they pretty much dismantled the [...]
