Weekend on the Couch
>> Sunday
With nothing to do and tons of television to watch, I proceeded to spend the last two days watching plenty of exciting sports action.
Okay, that's what Marquette basketball should be. Mighty impressive to impose your will on a very disciplined, well-coached West Virginia squad.
As much talent as Ohio State may have, it does not seem to mesh well. Despite Greg Oden dominating Tennessee's young front line, the Volunteers should have escaped Columbus with a victory.
USC blows a double digit second half lead to hated rival UCLA in a precursor to the California choke-job. However, Tim Floyd has done an excellent job making the Trojans a serious contender on the hardwood again.
The Colts field goal kicker beat the Ravens field goal kicker in an ugly game. Two veteran QB's in Manning and McNair did their best Bad Rex impersinations.
In contrast to the AFC tilt, the Eagles and Saints played one helluva football game. Deuce McAllister is still a top ten RB in this league on a rebuilt knee. As a Bears fan, I fully expect the Saints to come out of Chicago NFC Champions.
Another solid effort by the Pitt Panthers. Georgetown should be a solid, middle of the pack Big East sqaud. The Hoyas lack the guard play to make a serious run at the league title.
Not a great effort by any means, but a victory nonetheless for Da Bears. They will need to play much better to stand a chance against New Orleans.
Despite having a ridiculous edge in talent, the Chargers choke away a win against the damn Patriots. With all due respect, it's painful to watch more talented teams fall to Brady and the New Millenium America's Team.
Oregon gets a tough road win against a very good Arizona squad. The Ducks have finally meshed together this season and look to be serious contenders for the Pac 10 crown with Zona and UCLA.

For anyone who missed the Marquette game Saturday or saw it in person, you missed Rick Majerus (Zuch's biological father) playing with dolls to demonstrate the 1-3-1 zone. You also missed he and Dave O'Brien referring to Dominic James as "crafty" twice and "cagey" thrice within the span of two possessions.
And most importantly, you missed Young Mach (brother of YCS friend Mach) dancing up a storm coming back from commercial and a gullible Majerus--mistaking Young Mach's afro wig as his actual hair--cracking "philosophy major" jokes.
What you missed if you weren't at the game (or even if you were, and you just weren't in the same section as me): Some student's dad get a bloodied nose going after a free T-shirt.
I'll now always regret being in the same room as Dave O'Brien and having done nothing to stop this travesty of a broadcaster.
How about some love for VA Tech? Or maybe you should give some props to UNC for not giving up in that game and providing the most tense final two minutes in any sporting event this weekend. I'd say those two minutes were more tense than the final minutes of all the NFL playoff games COMBINED. What a finish.
Also, you forgot to mention the senility of Andy Rooney and his stupid commentary on sport team names. Check it out: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/12/60minutes/rooney/main2355874.shtml.
See if you can spot the MU logo in the Rooney piece!
It doesn't look like the Rooney thing copied correctly. Try clicking here. That should work.
