Top 10 Fringe World Titles

As I am still in a funk from the BYU-TCU game, I figured I would post something that is the furthest you can get from football.

Greatest Sports Video Compilation Ever

I think we've all seen this, but it needs to be up on the blog for inspirational purposes.

BoSox

As I sit here and seethe over The-Game-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, I want to write about something sports, just not what just happened to our beloved Cougs.

What do we think? Are the Red Sox of recent history the greatest postseason comeback sports team we know? I know they have a long ways to go to win this series, but let's look at things since 2004:

2004 ALCS - Come back from the "impossible" 3-0 to the Yanks and go on to win the World Series.
2007 ALCS - Come back from 3-1 to the Indians to go on and win the World Series.
2008 ALCS - Pull off the second largest postseason deficit in MLB history (7-0 in the 7th) to win the game.

Based on how the Rays are playing, I doubt the Sox will advance, but still...

Unrelated question: Why does Kevin Youkilis grip the bat the way he does?

BYU and the Kings

The Sacramento Kings old basketball coach apparently is a huge fan of Bronco Mendenhall and BYU. Eric Musselman has a blog and he has posted about the Bronco several times. Check it out: http://emuss.blogspot.com/

I doubt Phil Jackson or Jerry Sloan are BYU fans.

Go Cougs!!!

Someone at ESPN said what?

After I saw a sportscenter highlight a while back, that featured BYU, that was introduced with a montage of the Washington State game weeks after it was played, I was completly sure of the big network bias. I think they're just pissed that the MWC chose to have their own network for sports rather than sign with ESPN, but that's for another time. . .

I was very suprised that someone from ESPN actually gave the cougars a chance at the BCS National Championship game. (See the last section of the link)

"Hell?. . . is that you? Why is it cold in here?"

Poor Cubs Fans

Just saw this on eBay...a Cubbies fan auctioning his loyalty to the team!

Looks like it was removed. Good catch, Casey.

I was listening to Sportscenter while taking care of stuff around the condo today, and apparently this Cubs fan was "selling" his loyalty to the Cubs on eBay. I guess he was going to produce a video of him burning all of his cubs apparel, posters, etc and of him buying all new jerseys, etc for his "new" team of choice.

I guess when I think about it, the winner of that auction should get all of the guy's Cubs stuff, but I suppose it's his choice...

Worst Sportscaster Ever

This has been on the internet for a while, but a friend recently reintroduced it to me... absolutely hilarious. In a make-you-awkward-like-watching-the-Office sort of way.

Moving Mountain West into BCS title picture

Great article depicting how the BCS isn't letting the best teams play...
