There isn't to many ways to explain this past weekend in sports. The only word that fits is...WOW!!... It goes from College Football upsets to Major League surprises in Baseball. What more could a sports fan ask for from a weekend...maybe some NBA action.
It started Friday night with a mini-upset in college Football. Then #5 ranked West Virgina took on conference foe #18 South Florida. Now USF beat WVU last season so to some this 21-13 victory by the Bulls of South Florida was expected. The game itself lived up to the hyped it got the week leading up it.
Saturday was a benchmark in the history of collegiate sports. Nine of the AP Top 25 and five of the Top 10 were losers this past weekend. WOW!!....It was pretty exciting to watch these pampered scholarship athletes lose to not so pampered scholarship athletes. In all, College football is a great Pre-Game to a action packed Sunday.
The nations favorite past time gave us a reason to actually watch and ENJOY baseball. The fact that only four teams from each Conference makes the end of a Baseball season more exciting then watching paint dry. The world was able to witness the demise of the Mets and the birth of the Phillies. The Phillies came back from 7 games down in the middle of September to pass the Mets and win the NL East. The Colorado Rockies won 13 of their last 14 games to force a one game playoff against the San Diego Padres..WOW!..MLB fans get ready for Playoff Excitement.
NFL Sunday by far is the most anticipated day of the week and this Sunday was not a disappointment. The Eagles are still looking for an Identity, The Steelers lose to Cardinals and former coach Ken Whisenhunt, Chargers fall to division rival Chiefs, New Browns spank old Browns (Ravens), Bears sit QB Rex Grossman but have same result with a loss to the 3-1 Lions, Falcons surprise old QB Matt Schaub and the Texans, Jets lose to a rookie QB Trent Edwards and the Bills, and 'DA RAIDERSSS!!! and Culpepper show the Phins' who runs Miami by gaining almost 300-yards on the ground.....This sports weekend gets a WOW!!!!
