Because my parents hate big city living, during my holiday break I had no access to internet. Therefore I was unable to update the blog. So I thought I would write some things that caught my eye in the world of sports during the break.
ARKANSAS STATE DEFEATS NORTH TEXAS
In an article from the Jonesboro Sun, Matt Robertson wrote, "ASU’s Marcus Brown intercepted UNT quarterback Giovanni Vizza with under a minute to play to ensure the win after North Texas had driven across midfield. Arkansas State (6-5 overall 4-2 SBC) will face Troy this Saturday" to decide who will go to the New Orleans Bowl on December 21. "UNT running back Cam Montgomery, who had 121 yards and two TDs, ripped off scoring runs of 26 and 29 yards on the Mean Green’s first two possessions of the second half to give North Texas a 28-24 lead," the article said.
ODD CAREER MOVE
I was up late one night and I flipped it to ESPN News. I was surprised to see former WWE 'heel' and commentator Jonathan Coachmen on ESPN. It just seems odd that a guy who used to "wrestle" with people named Hornswoggle is now doing highlights for the most trusted source for sporting news. Sure it was four in the morning but if the check said ESPN I wouldn't complain.
END OF A CAREER
Sylvester Croom was hired at Mississippi State five years ago and it was the first time that the SEC had hired an black man as a head coach. Croom resigned from MSU not 24 hours after losing to Ole Miss 45-0 on Saturday. Croom finished 21-38 at Mississippi State.
ARKANSAS DEFEATS LSU
I only caught the last three seconds. But that was more than enough. I watched as the LSU kicker shank the field goal with the clock running out. 31-30. You'd think U of A had won the national championship. Arkansas is still 5-7. There is no doubt that it was a good come back win and Casey Dick was player of the game after only playing a half. But it was still painful to watch. LSU should have won.
