I live for this time of year.

Not too bad of sports weekend, could have been better. The College Football slate lacked some punch, but the MLB playoffs are underway and what more can you ask for. It's too bad the National League divisional series didn't provide more excitement, the Cubs were swept and the Brewers ended up flat against the Phillies.

That leaves us left with the AL series, and that's how it should be. Beckett struggled last night in a game that lasted forever between teh BoSox and the Angels and hopefully the Rays can hold of the surging White Sox. Should both the Rays and Red Sox advance, I like the Red Sox. They have the experience they need and shouldn't be phased by the dome in Tampa because they play there so frequently.

I saw Missouri this weekend against Nebraska. They're the real deal, and much better than Alabama hands down. Their offense is so flawless and runs so well. I'm still not a big fan of that booger eating Chase Daniel. I hope he doesn't win the Heisman. Sam Bradford from Oklahoma has a very good opportunity to show what hes got on Saturday in the Red River Rivalry in Dallas.

As for Western, they're going to host the 25th-ranked Ball State Cardinals. Yes, I just put Ball State and Ranked in the same sentence. I don't think Western will be able to pull of the upset, however it will be exciting with them in town this weekend.
