White Sox force playoff game
The Minnesota Twins thought they had it in the bag after winning their last game against the royals. The White Sox on the other hand had other plans. The beat the Indians in their third game but were still a game and a half back of the Twins. Then they played the Indians again and won off a grand slam off the bat of Alexei Rameriz. They could celebrate for a little bit but then had to focus on their main concern the Minnesota Twins. The game is set to Tuesday the 30th in their home town. John Danks faces Nick Blackburn lose and your done game. It's going to be intense and dramatic and I will be watching every minute of it. Go Twins!

Twins hold own destiny
The Minnesota Twins swept the Chicago White Sox this past week and now hold their own destiny with a series against the Kansas City Royals. The Twins looked like they were heading to the playoffs because they face a weak Royals team in their last series. The Twins took the Royals too softly and lost their first two games. The good news is that the White Sox lost their first game in their series against an ok Cleveland Indians team. The White Sox play later tonight and can take the lead with a win. The Twins can only hope that the White Sox lose and they win their final game against the Royals.
#1 goes down
Once again USC Trojans lost in a heart-breaker to the Oregon State Beavers. The Trojans couldn't stop the Beavers offense the first half but picked it up the second half, but it turned out to be A little too late. The Beavers ended up holding off the USC high powered offense and once again beat the Trojans. They beat the Trojans two years ago in the same atmosphere. The Beavers took the early lead in both games but the Trojans showed life a little too late. Now that the #1 team lost it is going to be interesting to see whos going to pull through as the new #1.

Hurricane Havoc
People say playing through a hurricane would be impossible but the Drake Bulldogs and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks did the impossible. It was a normal sunny day when the Drake Bulldogs flew into Bethlehem Pennsylvania to face off against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks. Even though it was the day before the game there was still warnings about Hurricane Hannah possibly coming through. The next day it was cool but still no sign of the Hurricane, until game-time and it started to rain. It kept raining and raining but they kept playing through it. People didn't think it was the Hurricane until the rain came in sideways and they knew the Hurricane arrived. Some people wanted to postpone the game but the officials kept the game going. The game ended with the Lehigh Mountain Hawks beating the Drake Bulldogs 19-0 but from that day on everybody will have a story that was supposed to be impossible.

Tarvaris or Frerotte
The question is Tarvaris or Frerotte? In recent news the Vikings benched Tarvaris and made Gus Frerotte their new starter. Do you think this is the right move? I personally have feelings both ways. I mean Tarvaris didn't have the greatest last two games but it wasn't all his falt. The play calling wasn't the greatest either. Then you have Gus Frerotte. He has helped us in the past but he also has slipped during games. I guess we are going to have to watch the Vikings next game against the Carolina Panthers and see if it was a smart move or if we just need a totally new quarterback. So Tarvaris or Frerotte?

Buckeyes slip past Bobcats
This past Saturday the Ohio State Buckeyes football team took to the field for a match-up against underdogs, Ohio Bobcats. The game got started and not many watched it because the Buckeyes were supposed to win with ease. Well, they didn't quit do that. The Ohio Bobcats were up in the 4th, 14-12 but the Buckeyes drove down the field and scored making it 19-14. The Buckeyes stopped the Bobcats so the Bobcats were forced to punt. That's when the true Ohio State Buckeyes shined. They returned a punt, 69 yards for a touchdown and took the game 26-14. The Buckeyes and their fans, (including me) had a moment of relief for a couple minutes but then relized that they play the #1 ranked USC Trojans next week and hopefully their star running back Chris Wells will be back and ready to perform.
Monday Night Football!
The first Monday Night Football Game kicked off this past Monday and it was division rivals the Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers! It was a close game throughout but the Packers held on to win the Monday Night Opener 24-19. I personally am a Vikings fan so I was disappointed with the way the game ended when Tarvaris Jackson threw an interception to a Packer Corner! The Vikings were driving down the field for a touchdown and then Tarvaris throws a pick! That made me mad and I personally think that the Vikings should get a veteran QB so we can have a run for the Playoffs.
