OH SNAP! weekend round-up
10/15/07
Huskies:
The Uconn football team suffers first defeat of season on the road to UVA. Back and forth battle is decided when Huskies oddly abandon the silent snap, and scr*w the pooch losing 25 yards on a hike gone wrong, while driving late in the 4th down 1. Not much created on offense by either side in a nip and tuck affair.
Boys will look to regroup for a (legit)nationally televised ESPN (not the U) game against the Louisville Cardinal on Friday evening. The Cards knocked off top 20 Cincinnati on the road this weekend, the schedule will not get any easier from here on out for the dogs.
Rest of Big East:
Scarlet Knights dominate the Orange up at the Dome and ruin homecoming from the Syracuse alums, not that any actual went to the game. USF (now #2 in the BCS and AP polls) manhandles UCF and shows a little Miami Hurricane of yesteryear by scoring a few late ones. WVU had a bye and Pitt played like they had a bye in losing to Navy on Wednesday.
College Football:
BC and ND never as close as score showed. Oklahoma showsus something in taking out Mizzou. Kentucky outlasts LSU in Lexington and the Cal Bears blow a shot at number one...the Ohio State University takes over number one with a thriller over Oberlin.
MLB:
Rockies continue to make me feel better about my Phils, now at 19 of 20, AMAZING! Cleveland and Trot Nixon (and God according to Trot) make things interesting by putting up a TD at 1:30am on the Sox at a frigid looking Fenway, take-a-ways from Game 2 -- Mike Lowell is a brilliant 3B and Grady Sizemore is going to Cooperstown. Dice-K against Westbrook tonight in Cleveland, bring your OFF spray.
NFL:
God I hate you New England Patriots, but man do i respect you...no running game -- no worries, the Pats put on an aerial show in the 2nd half. TO keeps the boys around for a bit, but it was never really in doubt. Brady much better QB than dad...Adrian Peterson as Tiger Woods once said, "hello world"...Jets in Rams unis are still the Jets...Favre helps the Gigantes out...Dolphins and Rams remain win-less.
**NBA and NHL reports on hold, I will pick-up the NBA after the Masters.
