Just Great Football

The cream is rising to the top just in time for the college football playoffs and bowl assignments. Yesterday was a great day to watch some key games - the best being Ohio State/Michigan and Penn State/Michigan State.

Ohio State went to two overtimes to put away Michigan. That means that neither one of those schools can be BIG 10 Champions. There are two teams now with a single loss in the Eastern Division of the Conference and Penn State, by winning against Michigan State, owns the tiebreaker against Ohio State (who they beat earlier) and will play Wisconsin (West Division Champion) next week for the BIG 10 Championship. That will be an exciting game for us to watch, not only because of our ties to Penn State, but also because the tight-end for Wisconsin - Troy Fumagalli, #81 - is a best friend of Austin's who played together throughout their football careers while growing up. Penn State will have a chance to play in the Rose Bowl instead of the Cotton Bowl.  The bowls are still clouded as far as matchups, but we know that it is getting close to having a final decision on who plays who in those big games.

Today we switch gears to the pros. The Seahawks will play Tampa Bay and gain another win (hopefully) and the Cardinals will play the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta - a tough game for them. The Cardinals are close to being eliminated from playoff contention and must win every game for the rest of the season to have a decent chance. 'Tis the season to enjoy good football...
