Weekend Sports Open Thread

October 11th, 2008 11:10 AM

We've got a nice college FB schedule today beginning with Texas (5) vs. Oklahoma (1) in just an hour. Honestly, does it get better than this?

And closing out the day is LSU (4) at Florida (11). For several years, these SEC matchups have been BY FAR the most exciting regular season football of the year. Will the Tigers and the Gators live up to the hype this year and entertain the heck out of a Wall Street beaten-down nation desperately in need of some cheap fun on a Saturday night? Any other games to watch?

In MLB, are you surpised by the Phillies taking a 2-0 lead? And are the Rays running out of steam leading to yet another World Series appearance by the Sox?

Hockey is now well under way with the Rangers starting the season 3-0. Any predictions?

Anything else on your mind?
