Break Up Sex

Lincoln NE: 38-10 at Halftime here in Lincoln over Kansas St. Pretty impressive for the Huskers. But here is what this is:

Break Up Sex.

We will all roll out of bed tomorrow morning it will all still be over. But for now...it's one more time for fun so let's just lay back and enjoy the experience together.

K St isn't good but Nebraska should be more embarrassed that they decided to play today and not the previous 5 games. 5-6 looks likely....can they win one more? Do we really want to have to go through a bowl practice season with a huge ? over all our heads? 3 halfs of football left to find out.

Props to Joe Ganz who is stating a case to start next year no matter who is the Coach.

I should know to never change my first gut feeling....a month ago I picked NU over K St. This morning - I picked K St. by 10 to win. First game I will get wrong on the year straight up. 10-1 is still not bad....but I had a 2007 Patriots thing going....

***full write up on the Jays game will be up later tonight

Jays Exhibit Signs of Life

The Jays opened the 2007-2008 season with a nice victory over EA Sports tonight in front of a paid attendence of over 13,000. The Qwest Center didn't feel like it will when Depaul comes into to town next Friday but Creighton fans got a chance to see future...which by the way - looks alot like the past. Running, gunning, pressing.....88-75 win. Nice start...but it's just a start.

Here are my impressions from the game:

Bahe – He has come to play. Hitting the 3. Running the floor. Being a leader. Starting spot is for sure deserving. He really impressed me with 10 points

P’Allen – well, he’s P’Allen. My Favorite Player this summer will be my fav this winter. Sets the attitude of the team. Cocky, sure of himself…2 touched 2 3’s taken. Him and Bahe are the soul of this team.

Watts – Nice first half on the boards as an undersized player. He’s quiet but he bangs and plays hard.

Dotzler – still too dribble happy. Needs to give the ball up more or he’s going to lose his playing time. Can't do the drive on the baseline thing anymore.....

Lawson – He has REALLY long arms. Needs to not put the ball on the floor…runs the floor well and has a nice upside.

Woodfox – seems a bit confused on where to be. Needs to play harder on defense because he’s undersized and will have his shot blocked a lot due to his height

Witter – didn’t see a lot of him in the 1st half but he seems to be able to fit into the system

Walker - out of shape as the injuries have obviously affected his conditioning. Seems a touch confused on where to be. Needs to be stronger with the ball but he has a HUGE base. You can see the potential.

Millard – LOVE his stroke. Has the ability to score a lot and be a really key member of this team. Gotta find his shot in the offense but plays good D and has the ability to alter shots. Will create MAJOR match up problems.

Hibma – well, he’s Pierce. Plays all out, gives up his body and will fight with anyone. Harriman – slow but has a WONDERFUL stroke. Could be a nice, catch and shoot guy for the Jays this year. Nice option off the bench

Korver – he will redshirt – WAY too thin

Dana - well, he's coaching like it's the Valley Tournament. So good to have him back!

A Night I Will Never, EVER Forget

It hasn't hit me yet. The Red Sox won the World Series and I was 3 rows back of home plate at the end to see Pap's final K of the season. Only 1 team wins their final game of the year in the playoffs....and again - it was the Red Sox winning their 2nd title in 4 years. I was there - and then I was on the field with the players. I abandoned Jimmy Motz who was a great sport letting me go nuts after my team swept his.

I apologize that the pictures that I told you about on air today won't be up until Wednesday because I'm in St. Louis until Tuesday night for the Valley Media Day but you'll have to settle for the pics taken by the Boston Globe for now.

As I told you on air, Michael Chiklis made my night truly amazing. I want to thank him TREMENDOUSLY for the opportunity to first meet Curt Schilling and then get on the field at Coors to celebrate with the Red Sox. It was the single greatest sporting moment of my life. In 2004 I was in an apartment in Huntsville F'ing! Alabama. 2007 - on the field with my team. What a difference 3 years make. It was great to meet him as he was so cool to hang out with. Also to party with Danny McDuffie who watched me grow up in Andover was equally cool. We just kept saying "Can you F'ing BELIEVE we are doing this!"

This one was for us - the 30 year old crowd...the kids born in the 70's that remembered Buckner but somewhere knew that we had time for our team to win it for us. 2004 was for our grandmothers, great aunts, great grandfathers who had prayed and prayed for a title and finally got to see one. I really appreciated this moment more and really enjoyed the moment as much as I could. In 2004, I cried as the weight was lifted. In 2007, I jumped for joy with the biggest smile on my face....We did it, again!

Even A-Rod's pathetic attempt at attention couldn't damper the THOUSANDS of Sox fans who took over Coors Field to thank the Red Sox again. It was amazing to see all the Red surrounding the team and chanting things like "Re-sign Lowell" and "Don't sign A-Rod". Red Sox Nation baby....

Let's hope the Sox don't make the same mistake they made in 2004 when they let guys that contributed down the stretch to walk away. The Sox need to resign Lowell to a 3 year deal at least to keep him away from New York and to thank him for an amazing year. They need to see if Schill will take a 1 year deal. Don't be stupid and sign that cancer A-Rod.

But on a day where the Patriots won 52-7 to go 8-0 - the Red Sox won the whole thing and the Yanks lost their best player....does it get any better than this? Well, ok - I want a complete repeat of 2004 (Pats win the Super Bowl for the 4th time) but I don't want to seem greedy :).

THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!!! Enjoy Sox fans!!!!!!
