Early Playoffs?

The final week in the NFL regular season has come up and there are many teams still in it. A couple of divisions are so close that they seem like the playoffs are already here. One close division is the NFC North. The Vikings and Bears both haved a shot at making it to the playoffs. All the Vikings have to do is win to get in but the Bears have to win and the Vikings have to lose. The wild card is also close in both conferences. Many teams are counting on other teams to lose if they win and many other thing may happen. The bar is set so lets see which teams come out on top.

And the Heisman winner is...

The Heisman trophy could've went to Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, or Tim Tebow but ended up going to Oklahoma's own, Sam Bradford. It was close between him and first-runner-up, Colt McCoy, and Tim Tebow falling right behind them both. I think Colt McCoy should've won the award, but I guess the computers didn't agree with me. So now we will see how the Heisman trophy winner will handle himself in the BCS Title game against the Florida Gators. It's high-powered offense vs. high-powered offense so we will see which offense will prevail.

Record!

Albert Lea native, Ben Woodside, tied a division 1 free-throw record with 30 in one game! He tied the record with Hall-of-Fame player, "Pistol" Pete Maravich. Even though he tied the rocord and ended the game with 60 points, his team, North Dakota State ended up short in thriple-ovetime. That was the first game in the Drake tournament and they ended up getting third place. The team they lost to beat Drake by three in a heart-breaker.

Diuretic's

The new question is should the league suspend the Williams Bros for using diuretic's. So far the league has suspended them and others then they ended the suspension. Now it's up for questiong again. If the end up suspending the players who used diuretic's they would have to sit for at least four games. The longer the league waits, the further the down the road the players would have to sit. I think that they should have to sit but not for that long at all. Even though I like the Vikings, I still think they did the wrong thing by taking diuretics.

It's up to the computers

Since the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide lost to their opponent the #4 ranked Florida Gators, the BCS Title game is up for grabs. One team that looks to be a sure in is #2 Oklahoma who defeated their opponent by a huge margin. Most sports experts say it will be Florida against Oklahoma in the title game, but it is up to the computers. I want it to be Oklahoma vs. Texas because I don't like Florida at all. The BCS ranking show is on tonight so we will have to wait and see.
