We can move on with our lives. With a few posts, calls & e-mails it's been determined we need no Fantasy Football segment on SportsTalk. I thank you all profusely cause I had no desire.
Can we refer to college football as a season of fluctuation when it comes to fan expectations. Oregon heads into the ASU game with lot's of folks playing wait and see. Each game on the remaining schedule was deemed both "winnable" and "loseable". Suddenly in the wake of a top notch Duck performance talk of the Rose or Holiday Bowl has resurfaced. If it had been a defeat in the desert, the gloom and doom would dominate. I remain cautiously optimistic with the understanding Cal represents a significant upgrade in the quality of opponent. At the core, the key to Saturday's thumping was a great game plan, a healthy team and save a few we'll discuss on today's show, limited mistakes. Saturday's game in Berkeley is a 12:30 start with live TV on ABC. I was moderately surprised to see Oregon leap from getting a total of 8 votes in the "also ran" section of the national rankings to 23rd in the AP rankings and 24th in the BCS poll. The Golden Bears, who busted open a close game with UCLA by posting 24 fourth quarter points, sit 27th in the AP poll.
Looks like I was way, way off in evaluating this World Series. Philly got a gutty performance in Game 3 from their 45 year old starter Jamie Moyer to take the 2-1 advantage. Then in Sunday's tilt, the bats finally exploded. They'd been anemic with runners in scoring position and runners on base in general before the flood gates opened. Now with their ace, Cole Hamels on the hill tonight(Mon), it could be celebration time in the city so often frustrated by their beloved teams. For the record, their last championship was the DR. J led Sixers a quarter century ago. Hard to believe that a franchise that began in 1883 has but one title, in 1980.
Lot of NFL and college football today & ready or not, the NBA season begins tomorrow.
