Gators at Bulldogs

The Florida Gators will be trying to get back at the Georgia Bulldogs for last years celebration that was requested by the Bulldogs Coach. The entire Bulldogs team went out on the field to celebrate a touchdown and this disgusted the entire University of Florida, of how classless their opponent was. The Gators ended up losing the game and this year the Gators want revenge not only for the play, but to knock out the Dogs of the BCS standings. This game should be an exciting one, but I believe that both teams are overrated and shouldn't be given the chances they get to be in the BCS bowls. I, also, believe that the so-called "Heisman" winner Tim Tebow will show how overrated and average of a player he really is because there is so much hype around him and he's not even that good.

This game will determine whether either team could make in the BCS Championship game. The Bulldogs with the win will get a boost to a better ranking and a better chance to get back into the race. Then if the Gators win they will go even higher up and have a great chance at the Championship game. So, this game can make or break both teams' season.

Who do you think will come up on top on Saturday?

NBA

The NBA's opening games were last night as the Boston Celtics, the defending champs, won last night against LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers. Also, the Chicago Bulls beat the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, the favorites to win it all this year, beat the up and coming Portland Trailblazers. The Celtics are looking to repeat this year and go back to what the team was like in the 1960's and their journey for another banner began last night. This season will be an exciting one and don't be shocked if an underdog team has a little run for the title because it's happened before.

Who do you think will come up big and be the MVP of the league? Also, who do you think will win it all and be the team holding up the trophy at the end of the season?

The World Series

The World Series has come down to one more game and possibly more. If the Phillies win tonight then they win it all, but the ice cold Rays won't let their season be over so soon. They want to keep playing into November if possible. I believe that the Rays will win tonight to make the series two to three going back to Tropicana Field because the Rays hitters can't stay so cold the whole World Series.

Who do you think will win tonight?

University of Arizona

The whole school of Arizona took a huge blow this week with the loss of the legend Lute Olson. He has been at the school for 24 seasons and led the basketball team to one National Championship and four Final Fours. The basketball program lost a key asset to the future of the team because Lute Olson, being the Hall of Famer he is, got top recruits to go to University of Arizona to play for him. Now that he retired the school will most likely lose top recruits that he pulled in from all over the country. This will end up hurting the whole program and wouldn't be surprising if the school goes from an elite to a mediocre team because the school won't be able to bring in top recruits anymore.

Before this all happened in the middle of the week, the entire school was looking forward to the football game that is coming up on Saturday. This is going to be the biggest game of the year for the Wildcats against the fifth ranked USC Trojans at home. They can make a huge statement to the College Football world if they can beat the Trojans, just like last year when they upset the number 2 ranked and undefeated Oregon Ducks. The Zona Zoo will be going nuts to cause a commotion to stir up the USC offense and make their team have home field advantage when they go for the upset. The game is on at 10:15 pm Eastern time on Saturday on all the FSN channels.

Who do you think will win the game? Should there be an upset alert for this game?

Phillies at Rays

Tonight is the first night of the World Series and it should be an exciting series. The Rays are an inspiring team who has the 29th ranked pay roll, which is the lowest for a team that made the World Series. The Rays are also, one of the youngest teams with a bunch of talent. For instance, the two top hitters B.J Upton, 24, and Evan Longoria, 23, are young super stars and these guys are going to be scary good if they keep improving at the rate they are going. Then comes the man who saved the 7th game of the ALCS, David Price, who is also 23 and was even thinking about quiting baseball his freshman year in college. Then he becomes the number one pick in last year's draft. This is truly one of the best stories in all of sports.

The Phillies are a very talented team, who has superstars all over the infield. The two past MVP's in Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins, and then Chase Utley, who was a leading candidate earlier in the 2008 season. You can't forget about the Flying Hawaiian Shane Victorino, who is on fire hitting in the postseason. Also, the Phillies starting pitching have been consistent and been pitching with confidence and the bullpen consists of the best closer in the Major Leagues, Brad Lidge, who hasn't blown a save all year. The experts tend to believe that the Phillies have one of the best bullpens in the Major Leagues and that this will be one factor that swings towards the Phillies. The factor that the Rays do have is that their stadium can get very loud because it's a dome and the sound projects inside the stadium and never leaves. Tropicana Field has turf, which the Phillies have not played on all year. This may not seem like much, but turf and regular grass are totally different and the ball takes completely different bounces on the surfaces.

The whole city of St. Petersburg is supporting the Rays because they have never experienced the whole World Series experience. To come together as a team most of the team got Mohawks, even John Maddon, the coach, got one. People all over St. Petersburg are appearing with these Mohawks to support the team and some people even have colored their hair the same color as the team color. Also, to support the team and to make the stadium chaotic the fans are buying cowbells, YES COWBELLS!
