Ohio State to face the Gators

The Ohio State Buckeyes will face the Florida Gators in the BCS National Championship game on Jan. 8 in Arizona. The Gators beat the Arkansas Razorbacks yesterday 38-28 to win the SEC Championship.

The polls came out Sunday and both voted Florida over Michigan to play for the National Championship. I personally believe this was the right decision. I do think Michigan was the second best team in the country, but a rematch wasn’t fair to Ohio State or the other one loss teams. The Wolverines didn’t win the Big Ten, a rule that I believe will be implemented in the future.

The Bucks will have an opportunity to defeat a big name team from another conference, and beat the #2 team in the country three times in one year.

The BCS has caused disappointment for college players and fans over the years, but with the money the Universities are making, don’t look for a change anytime soon.

Tressel, Ohio State make right call

The Ohio State Buckeyes Coach Jim Tressel is showing class by not voting in the final Coaches Poll this year. Tressel and AD Gene Smith decided that it would only be fair to the parties involved not to participate.

I have always been amazed by the great “game day” decisions by Tressel, but his class in recruiting and handling public situations is what really makes you respect him.

WOW, Browns show pride and win

The Cleveland Browns played with guts, pride and determination as they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime 31-28 on a 33 yard field goal by Phil Dawson. The Browns started fast and ran out to a 7-0 after one quarter. Cleveland proceeded to look shaky, at best, for the next two quarters. The offensive was up and down and Kansas City was scoring on almost every possession.

The fourth quarter started and the unthinkable happened. The Browns, with Charlie Frye out injured, put in third string quarterback Derek Anderson. The offense and defense proceeded to rally and score two unanswered touchdowns to force overtime.

The Browns played as a team and fed off the crowd for the first time in a long time at Cleveland Stadium. Dawson made the field goal and a number of Browns players ran to the Dawg pound as to say “Thanks” to the fans.

Browns have more bad news

The Cleveland Browns offensive line took another blow yesterday. The team announced that Ryan Tucker will miss the remainder of the season with a mental disorder. The organization would not disclose details on the illness, only stating that it’s a common disorder not related to football. The team said they were confident that Tucker would rejoin the Browns next season.

This is another set back for GM Phil Savage, Head Coach Romeo Crennel and the Browns organization. I have watched the Browns this season with total disgust and disbelief at the way they have played and behaved. I will give Savage and Crennel some slack as I’m starting to believe this team really does have a black cloud when it comes to injuries and bad luck.

Cavs, James finish Hawks

The Cleveland Cavaliers would be undefeated if the NBA only had one half of basketball. The Cavs have found numerous ways to lose in the fourth quarter. Tonight, in Atlanta LeBron James decided to take over the game.

James scored 13 points and had some tremendous blocks to lead Cleveland to a 106-95 victory. This was an important victory for Cleveland. The Cavs need momentum after playing poor basketball over the past week.

Damon Jones continues to be a bright spot for the team. He scored 15 points and made some big shot when the Hawks were making a run. The Cavs will have to continue beating less talented teams if they want to win the Central.
