Michigan (1-0) @ #16 Notre Dame (1-0) 7:30 PM NBC

·        This classic rivalry has been going on for the past 120 years! The Fighting Irish and Wolverines will have one more battle this Saturday in South Bend. Both teams are coming off easy victories last week with Notre Dame defeated Rice 48-17 and Michigan redeemed themselves against Appalachian State 52-14. The Fighting Irish have their sights set on qualifying for the College Football Playoffs, one loss to their rivals can hurt their chances. Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly feels that if his defense can shut down Devin Gardner then Golston and the offense can bring in the W. Notre Dame is a slight favorite but don't rule Michigan out.

Virginia Tech (1-0) @ #8 Ohio State (1-0) 8:00 PM ESPN

·       The Buckeyes outlasted Navy last Saturday in Baltimore 34-17. Redshirt Freshman QB J.T. Barrett, in replace of injured Braxton Miller threw for 226 yards on 12-15 passing. Barrett is not Braxton Miller by any means but the kid can play football. Ohio State is coached by URBAN MEYER; trust me, the boys will get better weekly. The Hokies are led by Junior QB Michael Brewer.In his first career Brewer threw for 251 yards on 23-30 passing. The Hokies returned 12 starters with 5 of them being on the defensive side of the ball. The Buckeyes will have to perform nothing under sub-par offensively to pick up a W this weekend. Let us not forget that Ohio State is 23-2 in the last 25 games played.

#14Southern Cal (1-0) @ #13 Stanford (1-0) 3:30 PM ABC

·        And its SHOWTIME!!! If you do not get a chance to watch Pac-12 football often, this is a game you will have to see. Both the Trojans and Cardinals have 2 goals for the season, one to win the Pac-12 and two getting to the College Football Playoffs. This growing rivalry has been one of the most intense and exciting in the Pac-12 in recent years. Steve Sarkisian and the Trojans have plenty of talent to stand toe-to-toe with the defending Pac-12 champions. Stanford on the other hand my not have that flashy look to them but David Shaw and the Cards are TOUGH! Stanford has not lost a game at home since 2010. This will be a pivotal game for not just the conference but for playoff implications also.

The NFL has Failed Colin Kaepernick.

Google Why hasn't any NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick yet or will they for that matter? Does he even deserve another chance ? It's hard to make a case for him as of late, I mean in his last 24 starts he is just 4-20 which is awful to say the least. But lets be honest the San Fransico 4'9ers are an awful organization that was doomed the day they let Jim Harbaugh walk out the door. He was put into a position to fail as a quarterback over the past 2 seasons. So yes this man deserves another shot in the NFL. Since 1995 the 4'9ers have reached one Super Bowl and guess who was the quarterback? That's right Kaep!! He has 72 career touchdowns to just 30 interceptions, 2300 career rushing yards. In his first career post season game he totaled 444 total yards of offense with 4 touchdowns. This guy is a stud and you mean to tell me he can't even be a back up? Its not what's happening on the field because guys like Jay Cutler, Nick Foles, Blaine Gabbert, keeping f

Warriors Clinch Number 1 Seed

By -
Last night the Golden State Warriors clinched their 3rd consecutive number 1 seed in the western conference playoffs with a 12 0-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns.  Stephen Curry finished the game 8-13 from 3-point range on the way to 43 points and 11 assist. Klay Thompson chipped in 22 points as the Warriors win their 13th straight game. During the Warriors winning streak Stephen Curry is 26.3 points and assist per game and shooting 46% from the 3-point line. As a team Golden State has figured out how to play at a high level despite losing their leading scorer Kevin Durant a little over a month ago. Losers of 4 out of their first 6 games without KD, the Warriors average margin of victory during their the streak is 15.3 points per game. Also with the win, Golden State become the 1st NBA team to win 65 games for 3 straight seasons. The Warriors have been the best team in the NBA since Steve Kerr took over 2 seasons ago. After adjusting to the Durant injury this team looks unbeatable

Tony Romo Retires

By -
ESPN reports this morning that Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboy starting quarterback will announce his retirement to pursue a career in broadcasting. Last season Romo's season was cut short due to a compressed fracture in the L1 vertebrae. While sidelined, Rookie Dak Prescott led Dallas to a 13-3 record, best since the 2007 season. Rumors swirled about trading Romo to the Texans, Broncos and a couple of more team. Romo will become the 5th lead commentator for CBS after taking Phill Simms spot. Don't think for a second this is a decision based on Tony's ability to still play football. He has plenty of game left. Romo would start in Denver, Houston, and Cleveland right now. Being in this position at CBS is a once in a lifetime opportunity. At 36 years old, and multiple season-ending injuries, it was time to think about life after football. Tony Romo is charismatic, well-spoken and will be a great addition to the CBS family.
