Monday, August 30th, 2010College Football Week 9 – Oregon, Texas & Iowa Notch Critical Wins in the National Ttile Chase
Thursday, August 26th, 2010Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley
Oregon, Texas and Iowa won huge, critical victories to remain in contention for the National Championship Game during college football’s 9th week of play.
None of the three victories was more impressive or substantial than 10th-ranked Oregon’s convincing, ultimately dominating 47-20 upset win at home over 4th-ranked Southern California. Oregon was a 3-point underdog in the game.
The USC Trojans had won at least 11 games a season and had 7 consecutive BSC bowl-game appearances for 7 straight years; now the streak has been broken as there is no way Southern Cal can win 11 games this season. With another loss, USC’s 8th straight BCS bowl-game streak would also be in jeopardy.
The win pushed the Ducks to 7-1 and dropped the Trojans to 6-2 and, perhaps more important, left Oregon on top of the Pac 10 Conference race with an unbeaten 5-0 mark and pushed USC into a 3-way tie for 4th place at 3-2. The Trojan loss was its worst since 1997 when they were beaten by the Washington Huskies 27-0.
The Trojans came into the game ranked 16th nationally in both scoring defense and total defense, and flew home in defensive disarray.
How convincing was Oregon’s upset? This convincing: Oregon double-threat Jeremiah Masoli threw for 222 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 164 more yards and another score. Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 183 yards and a touchdown as the Ducks racked up 391 yards rushing on the 5th best rushing defense in the nation. USC’s defense gave up a total of 613 yards to Oregon. The Trojan loss was the worst ever for head coach Pete Carroll during his 9 years at USC.
None of the three key victories was more important to a front-runner than the 3rd-ranked Texas Longhorns’ 41-14 smash-mouth win on-the-road over 13th-ranked Oklahoma State. Texas led 41-7 after three quarters when Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy left the game for good.
The Cowboys (now 6-2) allowed McCoy to go 16-for-21 for 171 yards and a touchdown, and Longhorn defenders Curtis Brown and Earl Thomas each returned an interception for a TD. The win definitely keeps the Longhorns (8-0) in the running for the national title game, especially if either Florida or Alabama now loses down the stretch.
None of the three victories was more exciting than Iowa’s 4th quarter, come-from-behind 42-24 win over a 4-5 Indiana team. The Hoosiers led 24-14 after three quarters and Iowa looked like burned toast, but the Hawkeyes exploded for 4 last quarter touchdowns to win the 4th quarter 28-0, and the game.
Iowa’s Ricky Stanzi threw 5 interceptions before the explosion, which started with an interception and 86-yard TD return by Tyler Sash. The defensive score ignited the Hawkeyes as Stanzi then made up for his errant ways by connecting with Marvin McNutt on a 92-yard TD pass, and Darrell Johnson-Koulianos on a 66-yard TD pass. Brandon Wegher added 6 and 27-yard scoring runs to end the rapid comeback.
Iowa has made a career out of winning close games this season—7 of the 9 Hawkeye wins have been by 11 or fewer points. Last year Iowa lost 4 games by combined total of 12 points. The Hawkeyes perfect 9-0 record is the best start in school history.
There were 4 upsets of ranked teams this week by unranked teams that included North Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee and Auburn.
Unranked North Carolina (5-3) went calling on 14th-ranked Virginia Tech (now also 5-3) and upset the Hokies 20-17. Unranked South Florida (now 6-2) traveled to 20th-ranked West Virginia (now also 6-2) and upset the Mountaineers 30-19. Unranked Tennessee (4-4) upset 21st-ranked South Carolina 31-13 at home, dropping the Gamecocks to 6-3 on the year and showing which team has the better defense.
Unranked Auburn (now 6-3) upset 24th-ranked Mississippi 33-20 at home, dropping Ole Miss to 5-3. Can we now just shut up about how great the Rebel team is going to be this year? Mississippi was ranked 10th in the pre-season Coaches Top 25 Poll.
Four other ranked teams came home with away victories—Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Penn State and Miami (FL).
Unbeaten and 5th-ranked Cincinnati (8-0) beat 100th-ranked Syracuse 28-7, scoring a touchdown in each quarter to inflict a slow, painful death on the Orange.
No. 11-ranked Georgia Tech scored 28 second-half points to gun down 129th-ranked Vanderbilt 56-31. The Yellow Jackets’ win was not impressive as they gave up 31 points to a lousy team, but at least their offense scored touchdowns in every quarter, and at least two TDs in 3 of the 4 quarters. Georgia Tech is now 8-1 on the season.
Penn State (8-1) beat the 98th-ranked Northwestern Wildcats 34-13. Northwestern (now 5-4) was 9-4 a year ago and lost a tough overtime game 30-23 to Missouri in the Alamo Bowl. Joe Pa and his 12th-ranked Nittany Lions still must beat Ohio State and Michigan State to have much to crow about since he selected and beat 4 cupcakes on his way to 8 wins so far. Penn State would play another team’s scout unit for a victory if they could get away with it.
The 18th-ranked Miami Hurricanes (6-2) needed two 4th-quarter touchdowns to nip 65th-ranked Wake Forest 28-27. The Demon Deacons led 27-14 after three quarters, but folded when it counted in the 4th quarter, which must make Wake Forest a pretty good three-quarter team.
Nine other ranked teams won at home—Florida, Boise State, Texas Christian, LSU, Houston, Ohio State, Utah, Oklahoma and Notre Dame.
No. 1 Florida went 8-0 by beating 35th-ranked Georgia, 41-17, as the Gators continue to roll on unbeaten toward another National Championship Game and a defense of their 2008 National Title last year.
No. 6 Boise State went 8-0 by ripping apart a terrible 1-6, 97th-ranked San Jose State team 45-7 in a cakewalk.
No. 8 Texas Christian shut out a 3-6, 113th-ranked UNLV team 41 to nothing, which pretty well describes the Rebel team this year. UNLV has not been to a bowl game since 2000; it’s a good thing the Rebels chalked up a bowl appearance early in the century because they may not make it back to another one until 3000 at the rate they are going.
No. 9 LSU (7-1) shut out the 2-6, 145th-ranked Tulane Green Wave 42-0.
No. 15 Houston (7-1) had its hands full with the 73rd-ranked Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, barely winning in a genuine, old-fashioned gunfight, 50-43. Southern Miss was ranked 25th nationally in scoring defense coming into the game, so the Golden Eagles had a defense and could not stop Houston’s 3rd-ranked scoring offense.
The Houston Cougars, who have no total defense (they were ranked 112th among 120 major college teams), did what they always do, they gave up a horrendous number of points. If Houston had no offense, the Cougars would probably lose every game 26-0.
No. 17 Ohio State (7-2) shut out a 3-6, 148th-ranked New Mexico State team 45-0. The Buckeyes led 45-zip after three quarters and decided to shower early in the 4th quarter.
No. 19 Utah came up with another unimpressive 22-10 victory, this time over the 107th-ranked Wyoming Cowboys. Despite their impressive 7-1 record, the Utes must beat Texas Christian and Brigham Young to be in any discussion about who is good at the national level.
No. 22 Oklahoma (5-3) won 42-30 in a lackluster performance over a 5-3 Kansas State team. Now you know why the Sooners are 5-3 and really going nowhere.
The No. 25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-2) might have surprised themselves in finally becoming bowl eligible by crushing a woefully weak 1-7, 119th-ranked Washington State team, 40-14. Last year the Washington Huskies were a winless 0-12; this year the Washington State Cougars are just as bad.
Eight unranked teams became bowl eligible this week with their 6th win—Wisconsin, Rutgers, Boston College, Texas Tech, California, Temple, Troy and Ohio.
Wisconsin (6-2) shut out Purdue 37-0 in a Big Ten face-off. Two weeks ago Purdue had a huge 26-18 upset of visiting Ohio State, and this week the Boilermakers became a doormat for the Badgers; nothing could better describe the ups and downs of a college football team.
Rutgers (6-2) turned back Connecticut 28-24 after letting the Huskies score two 4th-quarter touchdowns to narrow the margin. You remember Rutgers, it’s that New Jersey school on the East Coast, where sportswriters and sportscasters think all great football is played; they suffer from other delusions too.
Boston College (6-2) beat visiting Central Michigan 31-10. The Central Michigan Chippewas (now 7-2) are lucky that this loss was not to a Mid American Conference opponent.
Texas Tech (6-3) ripped Kansas 42-21, California (6-2) held off Arizona State 23-21, Troy (6-2) clobbered Louisiana Monroe 42-21, Ohio (6-3) just nudged by a pathetic, 163rd-ranked Ball State team 20-17, and Temple (6-2) used a 4th-quarter field goal to edge a 6-3 Navy team, 27-24. The Temple Owls have now won their 6th game in-a-row, their longest win streak since 1974.
Three teams were idle this week—No. 2 Alabama, No. 17 Pittsburgh and No. 24 Arizona.

Top Class Races Kick Start the New National Hunt Season
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010National Hunt Grade One Races for the 2009/2010 UK National Hunt Season properly get under way in October when it will be safe to say that all of its stars will be taking their first runs of the season in their annual bid to prepare themselves for Cheltenham in march or the Grand National in April. Before those two legendary events take place, there are several Grade One races (reviewed below) to be run in 2009 which should provide tremendous sport starting in November with the Betfair Chase.
The Betfair Chase – This Grade One race and is the fourth most valuable steeplechases in the country behind, the Grand National, Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Queen Mother Champion Chase. It takes place at Haydock Park and is the first race of the Betfair Million, which offers a million pounds to any of the first three home in the race who then goes on to finish first or second in any race at Cheltenham but who then must go on to win the Grand national at Aintree. It is a very tall order, but National Hunt fans will get an early season chance to look over some of those that will be at the Cheltenham and Aintree meetings. Past winners of the race include Kauto Star who won in both 2006 and 2007 and snoopy loopy who won last year.
Fighting Fifth Hurdle – The Fighting Fifth Hurdle is run at Newcastle in November and is the ffirst leg of the Hurdling Triple Crown; the other two races being the Christmas Hurdle and the Champion Hurdle. The name is taken from the nickname of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers and was inaugurated into the National Hunt calendar in 1978. Some of its notable winners include the great Kribensis, who was the last winner of the Hurdling Triple Crown Other winners include three tem Champion Hurdler, Sea Pigeon, who won the race twice and Punjabi who won last year and went on to win the Champion Hurdle.
Tingle Creek Chase – This race takes place at Sandown Park in early December and is raced over 2 miles with thirteen fences to be jumped. It is highly suitable gauge for those who will be running in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham. Many who have won this prestigious race have gone on to win the Queen Mother, including Master Minded who won both races last year, Kauto Star won the race twice and has gone on to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup twice and the King George Chase, three times. Other legendary winners have been Moscow Flyer and Flagships Uberalles.
Long Walk Hurdle – This is the first Grade One Stayer’s Hurdle race of the season which takes place in December at Ascot. It is run over 3 miles and 1 furlong and was first run in 1965. It is the perfect race to check the form for those entered in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham. Those horse’s who have won the Long Walk have gone on to win the World Hurdle in recent years have been My Way de Solzen in 2005/6 and the brilliant French horse, Baracouda who won the Long Walk four times and the World Hurdle, twice.
Christmas Hurdle – This is the second leg of the Hurdling Triple Crown and takes place at Kempton Park Racecourse each year on Boxing Day. The most followed horse for this race is usually the winner of the Fighting Fifth Hurdle. However last season it was won by Harchibald who in winning denied Punjabi the Hurdling Triple Crown as Punjabi went on to win the Champion Hurdle. It was Harchibald’s second win in the race. Other outstanding winners of this race include Intersky Falcon and Kribensis.
King George VL Chase – The most avidly followed steeplechase with the exception of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the King George is the highlight of the Boxing Day Festival at Kempton Park. It is a race that always seems to provide thrills and spills and has been won by some true legends of steeplechasing. Kauto Star has won the race for last three years and will go for a record of four in a row which will also equal the record of the great Desert Orchid who four times in five years and was second in the other. Kauto Star is also a winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup twice and is favourite to win for the third time this season. Other greats who have won the race and gone onto a Gold Cup win include, Kicking King, Best Mate, The Fellow, See More Business, Mill House and the great Arkle.

LPGA Golfer Erica Blasberg Died, Police Investigating
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
LAS VEGAS (AP) LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg died Sunday in a Las Vegas suburb according to police and her agent.
Henderson police spokesman Keith Paul said Monday that authorities were investigating the 25-year-old Blasberg’s death. It was not immediately clear whether foul play was involved.
Paul said police responded to a 911 call and were dispatched to Blasberg’s suburban three-bedroom house around 3 p.m. on Sunday. Paul declined to say who made the call, saying it was part of the investigation.
Blasberg’s agent, Chase Callahan, confirmed her death but declined to provide details because of the investigation.
Messages left with the coroner’s office in Las Vegas on Monday were not returned.
Blasberg played her only LPGA Tour event this year two weeks ago in Mexico and tied for 44th.
She found greater success in college, winning six times in two years at the University of Arizona and playing on the Curtis Cup team in 2004. She turned professional that year.
LPGA spokesman David Higdon called Blasberg’s death a “tough hit” for women’s golf.
“She was a very popular player and well-liked and we’re going to miss her,” Higdon said. “This is a very close-knit group of players and tour and we’re saddened by what happened.”
LPGA player Meg Mallon said the news will “hit hard” for tour participants.
“I’m just very sad and just really kind of sick to my stomach that a life ended so young,” Mallon said.
“People in Mexico passed her by or hit balls next to her on the range and everyone’s having their own moments right now,” she said.
Blasberg’s death was first reported by Golfweek magazine.
