Lots of college rivalry games yesterday. I sure wish that the Cal-Stanford Big Game wasn't wasted in October. It's not right. For some reason, the Cal decision makers don't like bringing the students to a game on Thanksgiving weekend. I know that the Cal players would like another shot at ending the season in a better way than they did.
ESPN announcer and former Buckeye linebacker Chris Spielman said that playing in the Ohio St.-Michigan game was his greatest honor in his football career. It just shows how important these rivalry games are to the players. Especially this game.
I always enjoy the Grambling-Southern game. The Bayou Classic. A lot of people watch for the Battle of the Bands at halftime but the game is usually a lot of fun. I love that Doug Williams returned to the scene of his college playing days to coach Grambling. Southern won this year 38-33.
Congratulations to Notre Dame. That team has fought all year.
If you enjoy defensive football you enjoy watching Notre Dame play goal line defense. But, I still think that Stanford got that touchdown in overtime.
I like Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o more each time that I see him play. The Minnesota Vikings could use a middle linebacker like Te'o.
I'm not sure what ABC was thinking when they compared the defensive statistics of Charles Woodson and Manti Te'o. They were just trying to compare Te'o to the last defensive player to win the Heisman. It's impossible to compare the statistics of a corner and a linebacker.
Looks like it's up to Alabama to determine Notre Dame's opponent for the National Championship.
The Minnesota Vikings visit the Chicago Bears today. Unfortunately, Vikings receiver Percy Harvin's ankle will cause him to miss another game. I was hoping that the bye week would provide the time for him to heal. The Vikings need Harvin for a run at the playoffs. In his absence, I sure hope that receiver Jerome Simpson finally breaks out. His speed and athletic ability was supposed to provide some play making opposite Harvin. So far, Simpson has done very little.
Adrian Peterson is putting the Vikings on his back. I am no longer able to find the words to properly describe the running of Peterson. The last four games have been the best that I've ever seen from him. That's saying a lot as he has been amazing since that first game against the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. He's averaged over 150 yards in his last four games and he's done it like he has so much more in reserve. Like he's just getting started. The next six games could be something really special. He's on pace for over 1800. I think that Eric Dickerson's record of 2105 is in jeopardy.
The Vikings-Bears obviously highlight this weeks schedule of games. I'm still looking forward to the San Francisco 49ers-New Orleans Saints game in the afternoon and the New York Giants-Green Bay Packers this evening. Fun games.
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamuknog Suh is an idiot. I thought that Albert Haynesworth was absolutely out of his mind. Suh is far worse. He has to be suspended for his latest stunt of kicking Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the jibblies. Suh's repeated idiocy and his complete lack of remorse is a clear indication that his career will be short. Lions head coach Jim Schwartz doesn't seem too interested in doing anything about this disaster of a football player. His inaction is part of the Suh problem. The way Schwartz is going he won't be around long either. Someone has to get Suh to simply play football. He's repeatedly shown that he can't control himself or even cares to. Schwartz doesn't seem to care. He just wants to pout.
Go Vikings!!!
