As of now their are 6 strong canidates: Toby Gerhart, Mark Ingram, Ndamukong Suh, Colt McCoy, C.J. Spiller and Tim Tebow. Honestly i think the Heisman will go to Mark Ingram, although i think it should go to Colt McCoy. This is actually a close race and i am excited to see who wins. According to a expert poll on espn, they have Gerhart tied with Ingram for the most votes with Suh and McCoy right behind them. For once we dont have all quaterbacks in the running, this should be fun and interesting.
After the game sunday, everyone was talking about how good the Saints are and how they always find ways to win. Going undefeated may be the teams destiny, yet they did not win the game yesterday. The Redskins lost it, the skins had a 10 point lead early in the fourth quater after allowing a field goal. The skins were in the redzone up 7 with 2 minutes left all they had to do was finish them off. After running three times and not taking a chance at the endzone, the kicker Shaun Suisam missed a 23 yard field goal. Giving the Saints yet another chance; the Saint then drove down and tied up game going to overtime. In overtime the Redskind got ball first yet still found a way to mess it up, Mike Sellers fumbled giving the Saints the ball and then they kicked a field goal. The Redskins out played the Saints and had many chances of finishing them off, yet they blew it and the Saints got lucky becauset they should have lost. If they would have played anyother team they would have lost, Because most teams have a kicker that can make a 23 yarder, a coach who will try to win the game, and a quaterback who can finish. The Saints are good, im not saying their not, im just saying that got lucky they were playing Washington. It’s not destiny for the Saints its destiny against the Redskins.
The USA seemed to get lucky today, during the World Cup drawing. The Americans have to play Slovenia, Algeria and England. From what most experts are saying, the U.S.A should win 2 out of the 3. Slovenia is not that good, altought they did beat Russia recently. Algeria as well is not that great, this should be a easy win for the U.S.A. England will be the U.S.A.’s toughest competition, USA will definitly be the underdogs in this game, but it should be fun to watch. Landon Donovan will be playing against his LA Galaxy teamate, David Beckham. It will be interesting to see how those two battle agianst each other.
The funny thing about the draw today was who French got to play. The French who were called cheaters and lets be honest got lucky and shouldn’ have been in the World Cup. Yet, they got in beating Ireland with the controversial hand ball by Thierry Henry ; French also got lucky again. French gets the easiest schedule of all, they get to play South Africa, the weakest of all top seeds. They also get to play Mexico and Urugay.
In conclusion i think that U.S.A. fans should feel very happy with their team this year, they should do very well.
With the Big Ten and ACC Classic coming to an end, we found out that the Big Ten is better than the ACC? When you think about basketball conferences you dont think about the Big Ten. Other than Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue sometimes the conference is very week in basketball. The Big Ten lost 11 straight matchups with its ACC foes, but this year the outcome was different. Did the Big Ten’s performance make me think that the Big Ten is better than the ACC, absolutley not. The ACC has better teams and will be their at the end of March. Yet, i was very pleased to see how well some of the Big Ten teams played, especially Wisconsin who knocked off 5th ranked Duke. Congratulations to the Big Ten, now just keep it up.
With Charlie Weis out the door, who does Notre Dame look for to take over next year?
Some names have been circling around like:
Bob Stoops(Oklahoma):Stoops would be a great pick, he can fix the defense and recuit well, but i dont think he will leave OU.
Urban Meyer(Florida): Good luck, i dont know why anyone would want to leave Florida now.
Tony Dungy: This x-nfl coaches name has been circling around but i dont think he would want to go down to the college game.
Bill Cowher: Another x-nfl coach, i dont think he will take this job, because he will get some pro team offers.
Jim Harbaugh(Stanford): i think this would be a great pick, he has rebuilt the stanford program, he will work great.
Brian Kelly(Cinncinatti): this is the most likely pick, and in my opinion the best pick. Kelly only wins everywhere he goes. The one problem with Kelly, i dont know if he can improve the defense. Norte Dame doesnt need help on offense, they need defensive help.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys won the Mens Cross Country National Championship, this morning in Indiana. The Men edged out former National Champions Oregon Ducks. Oklahoma States Men, scored 127 points with Oregon right behind them scored 143 points. The Cowboys did well even after a poor performance from thier allstar runner German Fernandez. Fernandez finished 77th, but he was lucky his teamates came to run today. Ryan Vail finished 7th overall, with teamate Colby Lowe right behind him in 8th. Soun Kosgei finished 11th and Gina Mecheso finished 24th. The Cowboys team ran well, and proved they had the best team in the nation, by winning and winning without thier best runner running like he usually runs. Congratulations to the Cowboys.
