Bears getaway with one, on the shoulders of Devin Hester

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

The Chicago Bears did not deserve to win on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The Bears were outplayed on both sides of the ball. The only reason they were even in the game was that Devin Hester is an amazing returner. For some reason, teams think that they can stop him. Todd Sauerbrun said that [...]

Ohio States visits the Big House to face Michigan for a trip to the Rose Bowl

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

These teams are in unfamiliar territory. They both enter this game following a loss. Last week Michigan lost to Wisconsin on the road, and the then number 1 ranked Buckeyes got upset when they visited the Fighting Illini. The last time Michigan came into the OSU game following a loss was 1996 (they lost to [...]

Michigan vs. Michigan State Recap

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

A tale of two halves. In the first half, Michigan State repeatedly shot itself in the foot with penalties, and Michigan absolutely shut down the Spartan rushing attack. In the second half, Michigan couldn’t move the ball on offense and got run over by Javon Ringer, and Jehuu Caulcrick. Chad Henne rallied the troops and [...]

Michigan vs. Michigan State Preview

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

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 [...]

SEC 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 on his sore [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – South Carolina vs. Tennessee

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Ask 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 as nasty [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – Mississippi vs. Auburn

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Ed 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 to beat [...]

SEC Preview – Week 8 – Mississippi State vs. Kentucky

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

This 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

Should it surprise us that South Florida lost to Rutgers?

Friday, October 19th, 2007

No. 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 [...]

Bears vs. Packers – Week 5 Preview

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Oh Boy, the Bears could really use a win this weekend. They’re on a stage against their arch-rival, the Green Bay Packers. The only problem is, the Packers are 4-0 and the Bears are 1-3. This feels like these teams are heading in different directions. Brett Favre is hot, on the heels of his record-setting [...]
