The Weekend That Was

BCS

I have no problem with LSU playing Ohio State. I would've rather seen Georgia just because I happen to like them more than LSU, but LSU's body of work is more impressive even though I do think Georgia is playing better football right now. I would say most voters want to see some sort of playoff system. If that's the case, then they should've put Georgia in the Championship Game. You put Georgia in that game and you can say to the BCS: "look how flawed your system is, you put a team that didn't win their conference in the national championship game." That wasn't the case and so I expect LSU to beat Ohio State. Kansas making a BCS bowl makes 0 sense on every level. I really don't care to see Hawaii in a BCS bowl either but they went undefeated so they got a bone thrown at them.

Best BCS Bowl Game? West Virginia vs. Oklahoma (Fiesta)

BCS Bowl Game I wanted to see that didn't happen? Georgia vs. USC


NBA Notes:
Grizz pounded the T'Wolves. No surprise there. Win tonight vs. Portland and you've won 4 out of 5. The Grizz badly need this win tonight. Their December schedule features 2 games each against New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, and Detroit.

Tim Duncan left Sunday's win over Portland hurt. Doesn't appear to be serious. Their bench is good enough to hold the fort down until he comes back.

Miami is old and terrible. Ricky Davis doesn't care what Pat Riley tells him to do. Shaq is carbondated. Ilgauskus gives you better numbers than Shaq does. This should be the last season for Pat Riley as head coach. Turn it over to somebody young and start to rebuild around Wade. The Nuggets ran them out of the building in the first half last night.

Golden State has gotten it together after an 0-6 start. They've won 9 of their last 10 and they're actually playing better on the road (6-3) than they are at home (3-4)

NFL:
My 49ers are absolutely pathetic. No need to say anymore.

Willie Parker needs to learn to hold on to the football. Fast Willie had something like 3 or 4 fumbles in a 9 carry span last night. Steelers still got the win. That's because Cincinnati is terrible.

San Diego looks like they might be turning the corner.

I thought Jay Cutler was turning the corner....then he threw 2 INT's and 0 TD's and his team lost by 14pts to the crappy Raiders.

You could see it happening again. NY Giants get off to a fast start and then they slowly start dying in the 2nd half of the season. It appeared that way, then Eli Manning looked like Joe Montana in the 4th quarter.

The Saints are done. That game vs. Tampa Bay is one you have to win on your home field. That's a playoff type game and if you can't win it at home, you don't deserve the playoffs.

Adrian Peterson is still awesome and the Lions are reminding us that they are still the Lions. Hey Drew Smith, Jon Kitna sucks.

The Titans got just what they needed: a game vs. Houston. What did they make it yesterday? 6, 7 straight wins over the Texans?

SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:
LSU beats Tennessee 21-14. Erik Ainge blew this game. Everybody knows it because everybody saw it. Dude looked like Michael Hennig out there. The INT's weren't even good defensive plays. He just threw the ball right to them. Ainge had happy feet all throughout that 4th quarter and never looked at ease. This guy was projected to be a late 1st, early 2nd round pick had he come out last season. That game Saturday might have just cost him a lot of money.
