Big day of sports ahead of us. Unfortunately I am in the office until 2 today, but luckily I have WatchESPN so I will be able to watch the Coogs take on the CrimiNoles at noon. Should be a good game and as many of you are, I am pulling for the Tom "The Grill" Herman. At 4 we begin the Playoffs, which unfortunately does not include our beloved Buckeyes but 4 good teams nonetheless. I have bought into the OU hype (not sure why) but I am taking them in game 1. Tonight we get Sparty and Bama, which will be a tremendous match-up. If Cook has healed over the past few weeks I think the MSU offense can put points on the board and I like their defense's chances to slow the Bama run game which is about their only real threat. Sparty doesn't have the luxury of having some of the DB's of years past but they are a formidable defense in their own right. All in all it should be a good day of football. I wish everyone a Happy (safe) New Year and I'll be back for the Fiesta Bowl open thread tomorrow. Go Bucks!
