My Ultimate Super Bowl Match-up!!!

I wrote a 6 paragraph excited post but my firefox crashed and erased it all.  Took to long to write so I will sum it up by saying this, GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cards!!!

Go Cards!!!

LEGIT!!!

Near Perfect Day of Sports!!!!

So the day started with my Louisville Cardinals beating the Marquette Golden Eagles by 1 after trailing by 18 with 6:00 left in the 2nd half.  Literally couldn't believe we won this game!  We went on a 24-5 run in that final 6:00 to grab our 3rd win in Big East play.  This could be considered a season saving comeback in this game due to how tough the Big East road is ahead of us.  In Preston we trust!

Next up was my second favorite NFL team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, taking on the Baltimore Ravens.  Like we all knew it would be, these two teams battled like a heavyweight bout for 4 quarters!  In the end it was the Steelers getting the win 31-24 and moving onto the AFC Championship game!

In the finale of the day it was my Green Bay Packers absolutely destroying the Atlanta Falcons 48-21!  Through all of the injuries this season we are still in the position we had hoped to be in coming into this season, the NFC Championship Game!!!!  Aaron Rodgers played lights out and seemed unstoppable throughout this great win!  Next stop, the SUPER BOWL!!!!!! Go Pack!!!!

So like I said, with all of my teams winning today on such large stages, this is one of the best sports days for me in as long as I can remember! 

Weekend NFL Playoff picks!

* my winning pick

Moving On...

Thankfully we were able to contain Vick and Jackson in this game enough to squeak by the Eagles to move forward in the playoffs!  Next week will be a challenge against the Atlanta Falcons.  Hopefully this time we won't give the game away in the last 9 seconds like we did in the regular season match-up.  Go Packers!!!

Van Treese and Goode must take over Buckles minutes!!!

I have to give credit to a much improved USF team that we had to grind out a win against today!  This team is pretty tough this year!  They are a very large team with a few lights out athletes who can score quickly.  Fortunately for us they are young and don't quite have the depth to compete the full game!  It took us all the way down to the final 5:00 of the game before we wore them down enough to pull away and safely get the W!  MVP without a doubt goes to Stephen Van Treese who finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds.  We will need play like this out of him on a consistent basis until we get Rakeem Buckles back(4 or so weeks).  Go Win! Go Cards!!!

Playoff Time!!!

Alright, here we go! It's that time of year again when we all get a little bummed that the NFL regular season has ended.  However the most exciting part of the season is still to come because we get to watch the NFL's best slug it out it what should be a wild playoff season!  Now that my Packers have made it in I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing I have at least one more week to pull for my dudes!  However the big story of the week belongs to the NFC West Champion Seattle Seahawks who won their division with an whopping(haha) record of 7-9.  What makes it even worse is the fact that there are two 10 win teams who were left out of the playoffs(TB/NYG).  Regardless I must give a congrats shout out to Seattle for their win, I guess.  Either way lets enjoy an awesome end of the NFL season and hope to get some great games leading up to the super bowl!  Here are my predictions for week 1 of the playoffs:

Baltimore* vs KC
Jets vs *Colts
Saints* vs Seattle
Packers* vs Eagles
*winning team
