Football Update

Well here it is Tuesday again, and time for another football update.

All that's left for LSU to do is wait to see what bowl we're going to. Unfortunately we need to be Florida fans this weekend and pull for them to beat Arkansas in the SEC Championship Game, which I do not think is a given. As I am an avowed "Gator Hater" this will be difficult. I would love to see LSU v. Michigan in the Rose Bowl even though as Brent Musberger reminded us Knute Rockne took Notre Dame to the Rose Bowl in 1929 so they really do deserve to go. Herbstreet repeated this comment a few minutes later and Andy thought he was mocking Musberger but I'm not so sure. The whole Notre Dame issue is so ridiculous I could write pages about it. Personally I don't think they should be allowed to participate in the BCS until they join a conference. Why do they think they're so special?

Big win for the Saints this weekend although we did not get to watch the game because the Jets were playing at the same time so due to some crazy blackout rule we got to watch three hours of MASH instead.

Another win for the Vegeenas this week...that's a 7 game winning streak. I remain #1 in the standings but the other teams with the same record did gain a few points on me. Ladanian only had 28 points this week but Joe Addai came through for me with 44!! I guess he was tired of Ladanian getting all the glory for the Vegeenas. I was also excited b/c he is of course a former Tiger!! something I took into account when drafting my team and so far they have not dissapointed.

Also, Manchester United and Chelsea tied this weekend so ManU remains at the "top of the table" in the Premier league. Andy has been following ManU since we were in high school and I've never really gotten into it but for some reason this season I find myself really caring about whether they win or not.
