Saturday Sports Open Thread

December 5th, 2009 10:15 AM

We've been pointing towards this Saturday for months, and now it's here: Florida vs. Alabama. Will it be everything we've hoped for, or will the hype and build up be overdone as has happened so many times this season?

But that's not the only big game. Texas vs. Nebraska is HUGE, as a Horns victory catapults them to the Championship game, and Colt McCoy is lobbying for a Heisman. In fact, the reason the spread is 14 points is the expectation that the Horns will try to run up the score to get Colt more votes, but don't count the Huskers' defense out of this game.

Of additional importance as far the Bowls are concerned is the Cincinnati-Pittsburgh game. That could be a HUGE early contest between two bitter rivals that ends up being much more interesting than anything to come later in the day.
