Buy or Sell: Adrian Peterson as the 2nd Best RB in the NFL Right Now
2007-10-17 03:39:00
I'm sure all you readers know that I am far from a Vikings fan. However, almost all of my friends are and I've seen quite a bit of Vikings football and I would like to make an announcement: Adrian Peterson is the REAL DEAL!I was sceptical at first, thinking that the Vikes should have taken a QB (probably Quinn) in the 1st round. I now believe that they made the best pick in the draft in getting a guy with arguably the most talent to come out of the draft since LT. Before the season he seemed like a solid/safe choice for NFC ROY being as the Vikings still didn't have much of a QB and a weak group of WRs. In 6 short weeks (5 including a bye) he has proved he is THE pick for NFC ROY, not just a probably candidate.Obviously, being a rookie he has a lot to learn. He's not a great pass catcher yet, and he still has room to work on his blocking. However, I do agree with Complete Sports in saying that, "I think that Adrian Peterson is already the most explosive RB in the NFL with the ba...

NDSU Bison ready to bring it... Again
2007-10-15 07:19:00
It's Gopher week here on NDSU's Campus. The fans, students, university, and especially the players have been waiting a year for their revenge on the Minnesota Gophers, after the heartbreaking 10-9 loss last season.The NDSU Bison are currently ranked 1 in the FCS National Rankings and are looking for more votes and possibly, just possibly some FBS votes as well when they beat the Minnesota Gophers this upcoming Saturday.The Bison are are 6-0 right now while the Gophers are 1-6. The Bison have looked amazingly impressive while the Gophers, well, that's another story...In a Minneapolis Star Tribune article today, Minnesota's coach Tim Brewster made some interesting comments. "I know about the little guys in green coming to Minnesota ... a lot of the psycho-drama that [the media] loves to play out," Brewster said. "Well, you know what? We're going to be ready to play."Well all I have to say is, NDSU will be ready to play to. Last year they smacked a much better Gopher team all over...

College Football Weekend Preview
2007-10-12 05:26:00
LSU at KentuckyWe possibly have an upset alert here. With the way this season has been you can no longer look past anyone. Kentucky has the offense to stay with LSU. Andre Woodson and Co. will need to bring their best game so far if they want any piece of the Tigers.The Pick: LSUTexas A&M at Texas TechThe two Texas rivals will square in what is basically an elimination game for a Big XII Title berth. Stephen McGee looks to lead A&M with his arm and legs, while the Red Raiders' high-powered offense will try to make the Aggies keep with the tempo.The Pick: Texas TechWashington at Arizona St.Washington looks to be Arizona St.'s first "true" test. The Huskies are looking to bust out of their 3 game losing streak.The Pick: Arizona St.Wisconsin at Penn St.A win here would be pretty big for both teams. Wisconsin was finally taken down by upstart Illinois and Penn St. has struggled recently. Loser will most likely be eliminated from Rose Bowl contention.The Pick: WisconsinAuburn a...

2007 NLCS and ALCS Predictions
2007-10-10 21:25:00
NLCSColorado Rockies over Arizona Diamondbacks in 6 gamesWhile the Dbacks have the pitching edge, the Rockies have the momentum, chemistry, feel-good story, and offense in their favor. They feel a lot to me like 2003 Marlins. They got hot at the right time and they're riding it right now. Depending on what kind of starts the Rockies get out of their pitching I feel like they could potentially end it sooner than 6 games but I feel like 6 is a safe pick. With my Brewers no longer playing all I can say is GO ROCKIES!ALCSBoston Redsox over Cleveland Indians in 7 gamesThe Redsox have the advantage (in my opinion) in starting pitching, bullpen, offense, and fielding. However, the margin's aren't huge and the Indians are playing very good baseball. I just don't see Cleveland being able to win the series when Boston gets Beckett going twice. The Indians should be able to win some games at home and keep this thing down to the wire for an exciting ALCS. I would absolutely love to see a Ro...

1. LSU- PR- 2LSU had an impressive comeback win over Florida Saturday night. They are the clear number one right now, but looks like the Tigers will have another down to the wire match up at Kentucky this week. 2. California- PR- 3Cal had a week off but they move up to the 2 spot with USC losing. Cal looks like the favorite right now in the Pac 10. If they can continue to put up points like they've been doing they should win out. I can't wait for their match up with USC on Nov. 10.3. Ohio St.- PR- 5With the way OSU has been playing they're definitely one of the top teams in the country. An impressive win over Purdue boosts them even more. Easy game vs. Kent St. before they play Michigan St.4. South Florida- PR- 6The Bulls keep creeping up with upset after upset. Although, they didn't play their best vs. Florida Atlantic, they should be ranked at 4 with their win over Auburn and WVA. They should take down UCF this week, then it's time for another big game at Rutgers in two weeks...

Questionable Coaching
2007-10-08 06:17:00
As I look back on Florida's last two losses, I am starting to question part of Urban Meyer's coaching. I am astounded at his time management after losing two weeks ago to Auburn and LSU on Saturday.Against Auburn, Florida had one timeout left as the Tigers had the ball around the Gators 35, with around 50 seconds left; Urban Meyer let the clock run all the way down to 3 seconds instead of taking the timeout and having Auburn kick the field goal with about 30 seconds left. I mean, if Auburn makes the field goal, why not give your team a chance to go down and either tie it or win it with about 25 seconds left? Better to have your own teams fate lying in your own hands, instead of the other teams.Again, Saturday night Urban Meyer did just about the same thing vs. LSU. After a running a play on 2nd down, LSU had the ball with about 1:40 left to play, Meyer let the clock run all the way down to about 1:10 instead of taking the timeout right after the play. LSU punched in the eventual w...

Ohio St. at Purdue With both teams being undefeated this may be the Big Ten Championship, but we won't know till the end of the season. Purdue has been pretty impressive offensively but the defense has been pretty susceptible to big plays and has had a hard time holding it's own. OSU's Offense has been able to put up points and the defense has been electrifying.The Pick: Ohio St.Wisconsin at IllinoisWho could have imagined this being a game for me to keep an eye on at the beginning of the season? This Fighting Illini team is the real deal and it looks like Zook finally has this team where he wants it. The talent and all-around athleticism of Illinois will keep them in just about every game. Wisconsin has struggled this season and have been pretty inconsistent on both sides of the ball; They squeaked out another close one last weekend against Michigan St.The Pick: WisconsinOklahoma vs. TexasThe Red River Shootout isn't as glamorous as it used to be but it's still a big game.

2007 MLB Playoff Predictions (NLDS & ALDS)
2007-10-04 02:49:00
NLDSColorodo Rockies over Philadelphia Phillies in 5 My heart says Rockies but my head says Philadelphia. I would give the edge to the Phillies based on pitching. Both have tremendous offenses though. I'm a little late with this and the Rockies have already beat Cole Hammels so I will go out on a limb and stay with my heart on this one. The Rockies ride their momentum and beat the Phillies in 5.Arizona Diamondbacks over Chicago Cubs in 5The Cubs were hot down the stretch and have a great line-up but Arizona is built for the playoffs with great pitching and great defense. Their bullpen is leagues better than Chicago's and it will show.ALDSBoston Red Sox over Las Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 3 gamesI think the Red Sox will sweep. They'll probably get Beckett in twice in 4 games if they need him and other than Vlad the Angels have no power. Vlad will be DHing and with Matthews Jr. out their outfield is going to be spread pretty thin. Even though the Angels have K-Rod Scott Shields t...

TSF College Football Power Poll
2007-10-02 01:49:00
Big changes in this weeks power poll with some major upsets this past weekend. 1. USC- PR- 1USC fell to 2nd in the A.P. Poll , but TSF still believes they are the number one team. Yes, they didn't look like their normal selves against Washington, but LSU struggled for much of the game against TULANE, they are no WASHINGTON.2. LSU- PR- 2LSU's Offense looked horrid at times vs. Tulane on Saturday, good thing they have a stellar defense. SEC game of the year coming up this weekend vs. Florida. Too bad the Gators lost, then we possibly could have had a 1-2 or 1-3 game. Florida needs to pick up where their defense left off vs. Tennessee if they want any piece of LSU.3. California- PR- 6 California beat a good Oregon team and luckily Oregon fumbled it at the 1 foot line to lose. Their offense has been super and De'Sean Jackson put himself back in the Heisman race with his big-time performance.4. Wisconsin- PR- 8I will give Wisconsin the benefit of the doubt even though they have struggl...

Favre 4ever
2007-09-30 23:02:00
Not much else to say. Today is all about you Brett. Youplayed great, we won, and you broke the record. I feel like even this record doesn't do enough to bring attention and respect to you as a player and as a father, husband, and person. Here's to you Brett, next to my father, the man I look up to most. I also want to thank Vikings fans on behalf of Packers and Favre fans everywhere. You handled that situation with the utmost class and respect. I love that and respect you infinitely more than I did yesterday. Thank you.

A Letter To: Vikings Fans Everywhere
2007-09-30 13:58:00
Dear Vikings fans both friends and mostly foes,In my opinion, it's not really a matter of if Brett Favre breaks Dan Marino's all-time TD record against you. It's more of a when he breaks the record against you this Sunday. I really wanted to see Favre break the record, however, to see him do it in the Metrodome will be strangely awesome.I'm also a little afraid. I ask you to reach down underneath that itchy, ugly, purple jersey you're wearing and dig deep down into your heart Sunday. I ask you that you please not boo Brett Favre when he breaks the record. While I don't see how anyone who loves football could not love Brett Favre, I however (living in ND) understand that Vikings' fans are particularly unfond of number 4.Please break the mold this weekend. I've always thought of Vikings fans to be rather rude, bitter, and nonclassy. Maybe that's because of personal experience, maybe it's because I'm a Packers fan. I don't know, I'm not a doctor.What I do know, however, is...

The Buffs returned a punt earlier to the OU 50.-37 seconds leftColorado has been running the ball very well and are now inside OU's 30 yard line.-2 Seconds left4th and 3 now for Colorado at the OU 37. Colorado now set to kick a potential game winning FG. OU calls a timeout.Doesn't appear OU will use it's final timeout; the snap, the hold, the kick, it's GOOD. COLORADO Upsets number 4 ranked OKLAHOMA SOONERS 27-24. What an upset.Sorry for starting the live blog late. This is something new we have started.

2007-09-28 02:50:00
I'm ready for some College Football . Last week I went a horrible 3-4.West Virginia at South FloridaThis is one of the Big East games of the year. South Florida is on a roll after big wins against Auburn and North Carolina. West Virginia's Defense needs to step up and prove they can contend for a National Title against a pretty good South Florida Offense, lead by QB Matt Grothe. I expect this to be a great game, but WVA's Offense should not have too much trouble moving the ball and scoring.The Pick: West VirginiaUSC at WashingtonWashington should be a good test for USC, especially with the game being played in Seattle. USC has been very impressive and I believe they are the most balanced team in the country. This could be a good game, but the Huskies must be able to put up points if they want any part of the Trojans.The Pick: USCAuburn at FloridaThe Gators look to get revenge after their collapse last season at Auburn; but again I guess it wasn't that big of a deal anyways.

TSF Top 20 College Football Poll
2007-09-26 01:07:00
Here we go our weekly TSF Top 20 Poll :1. USC-PR- 1The Trojans did it again, demolishing this time the Washington St. Cougars. John David Booty was solid again with 279 yards passing and 4 TD. The running game is definitely one of the best in the country. The defense continues to show their arguably the best in the country. They have a big test at Washington this week. 2. LSU- PR- 2LSU had a good win vs. South Carolina. As you've read before I'm going to continue to praise the defense, it's really tough to score on their D, but once they play another team who is more balanced on both sides of the ball (ahem... Florida) we may see the Tigers fall.3. Florida- PR- 3Florida struggled this past week, but it was the first road game for their young defense. Tim Tebow has been nearly unstoppable with 1096 yards passing and 10 TD. The defense has been some big strides so far. Big home game vs. Auburn this week, I am expecting a win, it's just one more game to get that young D ready for LS...

Damn It Feels Good to Be a Cheesehead!
2007-09-24 15:25:00
I wasn't expecting it. You weren't expecting it. Not even the omnipotent Brett Favre was expecting it, but the Green Bay Packers , the youngest team in the NFL are 3-0. With all 3 wins against 2006 playoff teams, they've got me super excited right now and I just wanted to bask in their glory for 5 minutes before I head off to class. Favre's got us (Packers fans) thinking playoffs and about a serious run at the NFC North Championship.I really wish he could have beat the record at home, but that's ok. Now, if they could figure out how to run the ball a little better we could be even better. Favre looked so sharp the last two weeks that I'm beginning to think that he's STILL not ready to retire. If he keeps this up and they go deep in to the playoffs, he isn't gunna want to leave!My second favorite team is whoever is playing the Vikings, so all in all I had a pretty good Sunday! Brett looked like the Brett of old and he head me jumping up and down and screaming. Bring on those l...

Just bare with me here with a rather lackluster weekend of College Football .Iowa at WisconsinWisconsin has struggled lately and Iowa could knocked them off here. Iowa did lose to Iowa St. last week, but I do expect them to bounce back and give the Badgers a good fight. P.J. Hill will carry a heavy load in this game.The Pick: WisconsinPenn St. at MichiganThe Nittany Lions Defense has been pretty solid so far and the offense has been impressive as well. Michigan looked good last week against Notre Dame, but who knows how they will play this weekend; plus it doesn't help that Chad Henne is still out. They can't afford another loss in the Big House. PSU is one of the favorites for the Big Ten Title and a win here vs. Michigan would be huge, which is something they haven't done in 11 years.The Pick: Penn St.Georgia at AlabamaOne of the better games of the week.

Here's TSF's Week 3 - Top 20 College Football Poll . We've decided to make it more of a power poll to comment about each team instead of just a regular poll.1. USC- PR- 1The Trojans looked impressive with a 49-31 win over Nebraska. The score isn't as close as it indicates. The offense was very balanced. John David Booty was impressive and the rushing game looked great with 4 runners getting 40+ yards. But it was the defense that looked even more impressive.2. LSU-PR- 2LSU has the best defense in the country and they stomped all over Middle Tennessee 44-0 without starting QB Matt Flynn and star WR Early Doucet. The Tigers could finally get tested by a very good South Carolina team next week.3. Florida- PR- 4Florida moves ahead of WVA because of their impressive win over Tennessee. Florida's Offense can score on anyone and the defense is continuing to improve. In my mind, the young D will only get better as the season progresses. Two more games at Ole Miss and vs. Auburn to get mo...

The game was a lot closer than I figured with the Sioux winning 35-28. Sophomore Ryan Chappell had a historic day setting UND's single-game rushing record at 306 yards! He also went for a couple TDs along with that. It was really fun to watch him do that. It is worth mentioning that he went out with 5 mins left in the 4th quarter with leg cramps, otherwise he would have had even more yards rushing!After that game I promptly got in the car and drove down to Fargo to see the Sam Houston State Fighting Rhett Bomar's ...

College Football is upon us again and it's time for some more analysis and predictions. Last week I went 6-4.USC at NebraskaUSC looked mediocre at best against Idaho in week 1. But expect the Trojans to look like their old selves again. USC is still the best team in the country. They should be a 14 point favorite. Nebraska looked iffy for awhile to beat Nevada and last week squeaked out a win at Wake Forest. Since the game is in Lincoln, they definitely can play with USC and make it a game, at least till the 4th quarter, but that last quarter will be the difference.The Pick: USCLouisvile at KentuckyThis should be a shootout with two high octane offenses and okay defenses going at it. Two of the best QBs in the nation will square off in Brian Brohm and Andre Woodson. Louisville's defense is a cause for a concern giving up 42 disheartening points to Middle Tennessee. Kentucky is very capable of pulling off an upset and in order for the Cards to win they need their defense to make so...

Time for some analysis and predictions. Miami at OklahomaThis game will be closer then one might think. Miami's Defense will keep them in the game. The difference maker will be how both of the QBs perform. OU's Sam Bradford was pretty impressive last week vs. N. Texas, but this week he will be facing one of the best defenses in the country. Bradford must make good decisions and keep his turnovers and mistakes to a minimum in order for OU to win. OU's Defense is pretty underrated and Miami's freshmen QB Kirby Freshmen needs to be almost perfect for Miami to win this one.The Pick: OklahomaNebraska at Wake ForestNebraska's offense looked pretty stagnant at times last week vs. Nevada. But towards the end of the game they finally got it together. Wake is still a team to be reckoned with, no one should take them lightly; they are very well coached, and have a lot of play makers. This should be a very good game. Wake's D gave up some big plays to BC last week and will need to step up...
