Gophers win again

The Gophers got a good win in today's game against Purdue. With the win the Gophers are tied with Ohio State for 2nd in the Big 10. Ohio State has to play their game still today tho, but they play Penn State who is leading the Big 10 and is undefeated. The game is a big game for both Ohio State and for Penn State. If Ohio State loses that would put the Gophers in 2nd all by themselves, and from what the "experts" said before the season we are upsetting everyone. They had us being last and now were ranked and only have one lose which was to Ohio State. So the Gophers are having a great season and lets hope they keep it up for the last 4 weeks of the regular season.

Rays win big game

The Tampa Bay Rays got a big win in game 2 of the World Series. If they would have lost it Philly would have had a big advantage going into game 3 being up 2-0 and having home field advantage. Shields pitched a great game, he didn't allow any runs and pitched 5 2/3 innings with 4 strikeouts. Jason Bartlett played a big part in the game with 2 hits and an RBI that helped the Rays win. In the game the Phillies had their chances in game 2 but couldn't take advantage of them. Next the teams head to Philadelphia for 3 games and then head back to Tampa if necessary.

Tigers get big win against Packers

The Tigers got a big win tonight in Austin. It was a good game to watch, both teams had chances to score more than they did. Both defense's were big in tonights game and both made huge important plays tonight. Packer fans were saying they were going to win big tonight but that didn't happen. Both teams had turnover problems mostly with fumbles but the Tigers recovered the biggest one with the high snap and only a couple minutes left in a tie game. A lot if not all of the Tiger fans thought the referees missed a big play with the punt and the bounce hitting an Austin player and us picking it up, but they called it Austins ball. After that play everyone was thinking the game is done or overtime but with a high snap over the quarterbacks head a couple snaps later caused probably the biggest fumble of the game with the Tigers recovering it and a minute to play and about 40 yards for a touchdown. So we wanted the win so we passed and got big catches. The biggest by far was the game winning touchdown catch by Aaron in the corner of the endzone with only 4 seconds left. The extra point was good. Then Ausin got the ball on the kickoff with 3 seconds. They had one chance to make a big play, they sent everyone deep but our defense wasn't done the quarterback got hit as he was throwing the ball and the game ended with an interception by a linebacker. The final was 27-20 with the Tigers getting the win.

Another Lucky Win

The Vikings get another lucky win against the Lions. The Vikes were suppose to have big game against the Lions but that didn't happen. The Vikings got quite a few lucky calls at the end of the game with the fumble recovery and the pass interference call. They also got lucky with the Lions quarterback running out of the endzone for the safety. Our offense did pretty good in the game tho, with Adrian russing for 111 yards and Frerotte throwing for 296 yards and one touchdown. The leading reciever for the Vikes was Barrian with 5 catches for 131 yards and one touchdown. Kluwe had a great game, pinning the Lions behind the 20 many times, with one going out at the one yard line. Our defense had a good game also. They only gave up one touchdown and had a big role in how we played the game. So next week we get the Bears and we better come ready to play because we won't get as lucky as we have recently.

Where as Minnesota been?

Where did the Gophers come from the were ranked last by everybody in the pre-season polls but now after a big win against Illinios they are 6 and 1 with the only loss to Ohio State. Nobody thought they would be this good but they have came out and are showing what they can do. Adam Weber has had a big impact on how the Gophers have done. Today he Threw for 184 yards. Eric Decker had a good game also by catching 9 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. Illinios' quarterback, Juice Williams had an outstanding game against our defense by throwing for 462 yards and throwing 2 touchdowns. Even tho Illinios out gained Minnesota in yards, 550 to 312. Illinios had 3 turnovers to just one by Minnesota, that gave a better chance for Minnesota to win. Next week the Gophers have an off week so lets hope they get good practices in and can come back against Purdue and pick up where they left off and win more games.

Vikes get lucky

The Minnesota Vikings got a lucky win on monday night against the Saints. They had chances to put the game out of reach but the Saints didn't allow them to. There were a lot of big plays that happened and they all had a big impact on the game. A big play the Vikes had and that got them started was the blocked field goal that was picked up by Winfield for a touchdown. Another big play Winfield has was the sack fumble recovery he had in the 2nd quarter. Just like the Vikings the Saints had their share of big plays. The biggest ones they had were the two punt returns for touchdowns that Bush had and they still punted to him, which many people didn't understand. The game came down to the last play but the Vikes got lucky and were able to hold on and get the win. With all the big plays tho, it was an exciting game to watch. Next the Vikings get the Lions, who haven't won a game yet but are looking to change that.

Twins Lose Hard Playoff Game

Most people seen the Chicago-Minnesota tie breaker game and if you wanted the Twins to win you had to be a little upset. It was a good close game though and a lot of people wathced. Both pitchers were taking the game serious. They both pitched a good game and didn't give up many hits. Blackburn made one mistake and that was the game. The mistake was to Thome and he didn't miss, he hit a deep homerun to straight away center. It was the only time either team scored, Minnesota had their chance with Cuddyer on third and Brendan Harris coming up to bat, he hit the ball but it was a little short of where he would have wanted it, because Cuddyer tried to tag but was thrown out at home on a close play. After that the Twins didn't really get another chance to score. So with the only run coming on Thome's home run the game ended with the White Sox beating the Twins 1-0 on a good, close, hard fought game. So thats all for the Twins now this season, so hopefully they will come back next season and start where they left off.
