Does it have the distance?

Only two and half more months of football and I swear I'll talk about something else.

So Michigan won, Notre Dame and Texas barely squeaked by and Michigan State won for once. Okay, so it was against Northwestern, but a win is a win right? Armageddon is coming. For those of you not in the know, this is a pivotal weekend in which Michigan takes on Ohio State. Basically, it's like the National Championship, just a couple of months early. The winner will most likely be in the BCS Championship game. The loser will get to go to some lesser Bowl game. Either way, it'll be fun to watch.

On to the NFL. The Saints play Baltimore this weekend. I'm a little concerned as Baltimore is coming off a bye week as well and they have two losses to try to avenge. The Saints are at least playing at home which I hope helps their morale. The win against Philly helped solidify their standing as a good football team. Not bad for a team that only won three games last year and were thought to be moving away from Louisiana.

One of the big stories this weekend was Matt Bryant of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He kicked a 62-yard game-winning field goal on Sunday. 62 YARDS!!!! I said he doesn't need a resume anymore, just point and say "62 yards". 'Nuff said. They even proclaimed yesterday as Matt Bryant Day in Tampa. Not too shabby for a kicker.

It's up and it's good at life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
