Weekend Sports Review

Ohio State loses another national championship game in 2007. This time it was Men's Soccer. The team made an improbable run to the championship game and even held a 1-0 lead into the second half only to fall to Wake Forest 2-1.


Rich Rodriguez is the new head football coach at Michigan. A lot of people will question whether or not his system will fit with the personnel at Michigan but if you look at the teams he coached for in the 90's (Tulane, Clemson) it shows that the offense allows for the team to throw the ball around a little bit. Also it is possible that stud super recruit Terrelle Pryor could attend Michigan next year and start from day one. Dan Shanoff called Pryor a love child of Pat White and Tim Tebow, I have heard "Vince Young Lite". Either way I think Rodriguez will do well at Michigan, I am not sure he will do better than Lloyd Carr, but I think he will have the Wolverines competing for a Big Ten title most years and an occasional national title.

Good to see Troy Smith finally getting some snaps for Baltimore, too bad someone (Kyle Boller) had to get hurt for it to happen. I can’t stand the Ravens, but it is hard to root against Smith, I hope he uses his chance to prove he can play in the NFL. Leading your team to tie the game and set them up for the game winning field goal is a step in the right direction, but losing to the Dolphins hurts.

Dynasty Alert.... Appalachian State (1-AA) wins their third title in three years. Carroll College (NAIA) wins their 5th title in 6 years.


Later today or tomorrow I will post a break down of the 10 years of the BCS title game (and other division title games).
