Homework, the fall of the Evil Empire, Tennessee-Georgia, NFL Week 5

Wow, all I've done this weekend is homework. I need to practice more Stats, 'cause I didn't do very well on the practice exam. I have Econ on Wednesday which I have not started studying for. I have 212 due on Wednesday which is currently kicking my butt. And then midterms next week. Yeah, I kinda want to get as far ahead as possible before the weekend.

I watched the Detroit Tigers finish of the Yankees. Jim Leiland is quite a manager for turning that team around (they nearly had the worst season is baseball history two years ago!) and I guess you could say I'm on the Tigers feelgood bandwagon. As for the Yankees, ARod must go. They can't pay him that much money to implode in October. The Empire is also about to fire Joe Torre, which may be justified. Ever since they started putting together the monster All-Star lineups, well, they haven't performed. But consider the beginning of the dynasty when Torre was new and they had some rookie named Derek Jeter: they didn't have nearly the star power they have now. Maybe the rumors are true: the kind of lineup they have now just can't respond to Torre's managing.

I think the Cardinals will still win their series, so my predictions now are Detroit beats Oakland, Mets beat the Cards, and Detroit beats New York in 7.

On Saturday night while working on 212, I watched pretty much all of the Tennessee vs. Georgia game. Don't know why, but I found myself rooting for Tennessee, and I couldn't believe how they came back in the second half. Their quarterback is something.

I'm watching GameTracker right now, and it looks like about half of the eight games going on right now I will lose. Chicago is blowing out Buffalo (didn't think they would cover), Miami is keeping it close (I just need a New England touchdown), Detroit is routing Minnesota (wtf), and St. Loius is up by 1 and they are currently in the red zone. Indianapolis is STRUGGLING against Tennessee, and I know there will be a few people who will get owned for thinking there's no way Tennessee would come within 18 of the Colts.
