TCU Hands BYU First Loss And Ends 16 Game Streak As Well

BYU was hoping to crash the BCS party this year and proved they belong, but the one thing you must do is take care of business and against the TCU Horned Frogs that did not happen. TCU dominated them on both sides of the ball. On offense the Horned Frogs racked up over 400 yards on offense while on defense they held BYU to just seven points well below their average.

TCU got dominated by Oklahoma earlier in the year so I was not expecting much from them tonight, but they shocked me. This is what is great about college football you never know what can happen or what team can step up and get a big win. TCU proved that they can play good football when they want to.

Red Sox Stun Rays And Boston Crowd

The Boston Red Sox fans thought they were going to go home unhappy, but that was not the case last night. After falling behind 7-0 the Red Sox made a rally for the ages and got a 8-7 win and sent the series back to Tampa Bay. Dice-K who has been very reliable this season got shelled for the Red Sox and the bullpen was needed and they did a very good job this time out. J.D. Drew singled in the go ahead run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to give the Red Sox the win.

For the Tampa Bay Rays it was a very hard loss to take and they will just have to move on and go from here. It is never easy to lose a game they should have won. The bullpen failed them when needed and that will happen especially when you play defending champions as they never want to go down without a fight.

Lane Kiffin Showed The Door

Now this should not come as a surprise to Lane Kiffin or even Raider fans that Al Davis fired Kiffin today. It has been rumored for a very long time so you really had to know it was coming. Kiffin and Davis never seem to hit it off and it was a surprise when he hired him.

Davis fired him over the phone and will not honor the rest of his contract either. I am sure this will probably be headed to the courts before long. The Raiders are dysfunctional for a reason and Al Davis it seems likes to keep it that way. Until he changes the way he does things it looks like it could be a long time before Oakland has a winner again with the Raiders.

Joe Flacco Will Start For Ravens

Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens as Kyle Boller and Troy Smith are injured and may not even be available as backups. This is life in the NFL. You never know when your number will be called. Flacco a rookie who has a lot of talent will get his first taste this Sunday and we will see how well he handles it.

I think he will do a lot better than most people imagine. In Baltimore all he needs to do is manage the game and not make mistakes. It will take him time to get use to the speed of the game and everything else, but he should be fine.

Miami Dolphins Preview

It is time for Blogging Sports Network yearly NFL Previews and today we are doing the Miami Dolphins. Bill Parcells has taken over the helm and he has made some very fast and swift changes. Parcells has gotten rid of Jason Taylor a mainstay on defense who he was not very happy with. This is just how Bill Parcells is and that will never change. Parcells drafted Jake Long and Chad Henne out of Michigan which could be something that the Dolphins go with this year. Long will be a great offensive lineman, and Henne should be a good quarterback in the future.

Right now though Parcells and the coaching staff will probably go with Chad Pennington who was released by the Jets and has a new lease on life with the Miami Dolphins. This year I look for the Dolphins to be improved, but nowhere near the top in this division. A few more wins will be added this year, but that is about it. The one thing though you can be sure Bill Parcells will turn this franchise into a winner he has a knack for turning things around pretty quickly so the future looks good in Miami.

USA Softball Put To The Test

USA Softball needed nine innings, but was able to beat Japan by a score of 4-1. Crystl Bustos hit a three-run homer almost out of the stadium to give the United States their 22 straight win in the Olympics and one more win until they get another gold medal.

This is why they play the game. Japan stuck with the United States squad for 8 innings before losing in the ninth inning. This is how it can happen sometimes so you really never know until the game is over.

Carl Edwards Makes It A Clean Sweep At Michigan

Carl Edwards knows that Kyle Busch was the man to beat yesterday at Michigan and that is exactly what he did. Edwards captured the Nationwide Series race Saturday and then went out and proved that his team could run with Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing. Edwards drove a great race, but the bottom line was his pit crew got him out before Busch and that is what won the race for Edwards. In clean air Busch was tough and Edwards knew that and so did his pit crew. With the Chase very close now it could be an interesting battle between Busch and Edwards.
