Good Weekend

Well where to start with the sports related stuff for today. This was a good weekend for sports I thought and so there is more to write about than just one single game or team.

First Alabama remained undefeated and #1 in the BCS standings. Texas Tech stayed at #2 and will be facing off against Oklahoma this coming Saturday in a game that should be awesome really. Other than that, Florida totally dominated South Carolina giving Steve Spurrier his worst loss in his coaching career. LSU staged a huge comeback against Troy by scoring 30 points in the 4th quarter to win 40-31 after trailing 31-3 in the second half. Alll in all not a bad weekend in college football, even if there weren't that many big time games taking place.

Second Brock Lesner won the UFC heavyweight title Saturday night. I will be real honest, I don't care that much about UFC and MMA, but I know who Brock Lesner is and I think that it's impressive that he is now a legit heavyweight champ. He went for the WWE to trying out for the Vikings to now being the UFC champ. Not too bad.

Finally, there is the NFL. The Titans won again to go to 10-0 on the season. The Cowboys showed up and beat a tough Washington team. There was the first tie in six years as the Eagles and Bengals ended tied at 13. Then there was something that had not happened in the previous 12,837 games in the history of the NFL. The Steelers and Chargers ended with a score of 11-10 in the Steelers favor. What kind of crazy game must that have been?

Like I said, it was a pretty decent weekend in sports, at least in my opinion of things. Peace and Love y'all.
