Thursday Sports Day

I'm going to do a better job of updating this. I still have a lot to say, just not a lot of time to say it. Youth ministry, school and having an amazing girlfriend leaves you little time for much else. The only breaks I get are for skate. and COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

So, Thursday is now Sports Day here and that means that I'm giving you guys a list of 10 thoughts I have about athletics.


1. South Florida should be #1 in the polls. I hope to see them in the BCS National Championship game.

2. Kentucky is goooooood. But who doesn't know this already? That LSU game was not a fluke. However, Urban Meyer is great coming off the bye week. Anytime he has more than a week to prepare, his team comes out really strong. See 2007 National Championship Game Ohio State vs. Florida. So I'm picking the Gators by 2 touchdowns.

3. Back to South Florida. The Rutgers vs. USF game tonight is huge. Could the game of the year.

4. Switching gears...Go Rockies! I mean, seriously, who saw this coming? Put your hands down. I know you didn't.

5. Back to South Florida, but this time to that horrid Miami Dolphins team. I mean it's pretty bad when you're the doormat of the AFC East. Miami is 0-6, New York is 1-5, Buffalo is 1-5. But the Patriots are 6-0.

6. I don't see the Patriots losing a game this year...that's right, I said it.

7. I don't think there will be an undefeated team in NCAA Football this year. USF has the 12th toughest schedule in the nation and BC really isn't that good. Ohio State plays a fairly tough schedule for the rest of the year. All their remaining opponents are 5-2 right now.

8. I think Jeff Gordon wins at least one more race and the Championship.

9. I need to pay attention to hockey more than I have been. The Canes are a sleeper pick to go deep into the playoffs.

10. I knew Marion Jones used steroids and she deserves to lose her medals.

My non-sports thoughts for today:
-Blue Like Jazz is fantastic. Go buy it.
-School+ work+ amazing girlfriend= no time
-This will be the only blog that doesn't have lyrics and such. So don't miss them too much.
