Probably Finished Here

I think I'm done with Coram Deo Sports. It was a fun run, but I'm just going to write on Abundant Redemption, even when I'm writing about sports. Thanks for reading.

It's Been Awhile

A few random thoughts concerning sports...

I was in Minnesota this weekend. A chance to get away from Titans football and watch a team with a different philosophy? Nope, the Titans were playing the Vikings.

The Cubs are a joke.

UCLA almost pulled another one out against a ranked team.

As I get older, the only team I live and die with is the Bruins. I felt it with the Lakers during their run last year. I hope it's still here when the NBA resumes. I kind of have the love for the Predators, but that comes and goes.

I really don't have an NFL team, and as much as I want the Cubs to win it, I can't say I'd be unhappy for the Dodgers.

I'm finding myself rooting for players and stories more than I root for teams. I would almost rather, actually, I think I can definitively say I'd rather Joe Torre or Ken Griffey Kr. win a World Series than the Cubs. Not that I don't want the Cubs to win. I really do. I would just love to see the Yankees eat their pride or an aging legend go out on top.

I told you the thoughts were random.

Classic

More Neuheisel Love

I didn't actually see this happen, but a friend told me the story Tuesday morning.

After Craft threw his third interception Neuheisel pulled him aside and yelled at him, "That's three. Stop it."

That's good coaching.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

First of all, Bruins, I'm sorry. I had absolutely no faith in you. I was wrong.

Second, I'm legally changing my sons' names to Neuheisel.

Third, I am already giantly (not a word) impressed by Tennessee fans who have been congratulatory and kind.

Fourth, go Bruins!!!

Halftime Thoughts

I was right. I hate it, but I was right. I knew Tennessee would score on defense.

Four interceptions. Yikes. On the bright side, Norm Chow was overheard walking into the locker room saying, "The kid's still the best quarterback I've coached in three years."

My hope for this game was for UCLA to show itself to be a program moving in the right direction. I wanted them to prove themselves as a relevant team. I think, after a half of football, they are proving themselves relevant.

I've seen basketball teams have less possessions than Tennessee has in the first half, and they only have fourteen points. I don't expect the second half to be as close.

Good game. I haven't broken anything. Maybe I'm growing up.

Probably not.

Go Bruins!!!

The Prediction

It kills me to say it, but here's what I think.

Tennessee - 38
UCLA - 10

I think Tennessee scores at least once on defense.
