5-minute Major [11 January 2011]






Congratulations to the Auburn Tigers, your BCS National Champions for 2011; Michael Dyer outshone Cam Newton with 143 yards rushing; a rollercoaster of a game ended 24-21, and the Ducks couldn't find their stride until too late; there were two lamentable things: 1) Nick Fairly certainly lived up to his reputation as both a dominant force and a dirty player, and 2) one might bet money on the fact that Newton has an undiagnosed concussion as I type; Auburn coach, Gene Chizik failed miserably both in not reprimanding the dirty play of his college athletes and by failing to address a potentially serious injury because he was afraid to take his star player out for even a down; Shame on you, Coach Chizik.....Call it 10 in a row for the Bulls over the Pistons (95-82), and call this little gesture the silliest thing Derrick Rose has done to date.....Solve Ben Hansbrough, solve the Irish; Marquette did just that, and beat No. 11 Notre Dame handily, 79-57.....It's finally official: Bill Carmody will coach Northwestern basketball for at least the next 2 years.....Continuing it's role as thorn-in-the-side-of-hockey-towns, the Avalanche beat the Red Wings, 5-4; the Avs are 8-2 against Original 6 teams this year.....University of Minnesota forward Trevor Mbakwe was arrested on Monday for allegedly posting something on the Facebook page of a woman who had a restraining order against him; thankfully his coach is Tubby Smith and not Gene Chizik.....At ease.
