From the past weekend:
High School Football: Joe Harbin's Blog.
Around town, St. Xavier is still the one, defeating LaSalle. For the Lancers to make it into the playoffs, Elder must beat Indianapolis Bishop Chatard... the win may get Moeller in the 'Playoff Eight' as well.
Whether Colerain has a home or away playoff opener depends on how a matchup in TEXAS goes, as well as a matchup in Kentucky...
The NHL is back! While it sucks to have no professional hockey in Cincinnati (the last time was 1989-90,) the big guys took the ice this week after a nasty labor stoppage that erased the 2004-05 season. Tidbits:
- All rinks have "Thank You Fans!" real big on the ice
- New rules, from new line designations, like the 2-line pass
- No ties! After regulation, there will be a 5 minute overtime period. If there is still a tie, there will be a shootout, like the IHL had. This makes the games exciting, especially when the Penguins lost at Carolina Friday in a shootout... that goalie did well against Lemieux and Crosby!
- Wayne Gretzky is head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes, and made a lineup boo-boo his first night...
- At least Columbus and the beautiful Nationwide Arena are only 2 hours away!
Some upsets in College Football:
- After almost 20 years, Minnesota finally has the Little Brown Jug, by beating Michigan 23-20 at The Big House. Some good work by MINN's QB Bryan Cupito (who played at McNicholas HS in Cincinnati) and Center Big Greg Eslinger...
- Penn State on the same level as USC? After defeating Ohio State in Happy Valley 17-10, Joe Paterno is proud to have held off retirement, as the Nittany Lions are 6-0.
- Northwestern defeated Wisconsin at Ryan Field near Chicago, 51-48.
(Double for Pujols.)
And last, but certainly not least, the Cardinals are leading 7-2 in San Diego in the 6th at this moment. An RBI for Pujols, a 2R HR for Eckstein, 2R RBIs for Molina and Sanders.
Looks like it's the Cards against the Houston Astros (or possibly the Atlanta Braves) on Wednesday at Busch Stadium for the NL Championship Series.
