The week in review

This week was an interesting week in sports. From baseball to football, here's the week in review:


Baseball:

What happened:
The series kicked off in Tampa as the Phillies visited the Rays. The Phillies took the first game and the momentum, but the Rays would come back and win the second game to even the series at 1-1.

Last night the series shifted to the city of brotherly love, Philly, and the Phillies looked good throughout the entire game until the 8th when the Rays tied the game at 2-2. The Phillies would go on to win the game in the bottom of the ninth on a walk off hit.

My take:
Both teams look fairly even in the series so far but I think the Rays' inexperience and unreliability is showing. However, I could easily see the Rays coming back to win the series, as they still are a very good ball club.


Football:

What happened:
Notre Dame beat Washington 33-7 as they take a little revenge on Ty Willingham, their former coach.
Wisconsin defeated Illinois 27-17 in a much anticipated game as the Illini continue to struggle and the Badgers break their losing streak.
Penn State conquered Ohio State 13-6 in a huge game in Columbus.
Georgia takes out LSU 52-38 proving to me their for real.
Texas beats Oklahoma State 28-24.

My take:
Notre Dame impressed me as they get their first road win.
Illinois was dissapointing as I thought they'd handle the Badgers who were previously 0-4 in the Big Ten.
The PSU-OSU game was a great game and a fun one to watch as Penn State proved to me that they are a GREAT team.
I had my doubts about Georgia before but I think that they are for real now and I could see a National Championship in their future.
I love the Texas-OSU matchup...so much hate yet so much fun.

The Bears didn't play this week but next week they Detroit in Chicago.


It's been a great week in sports and I'm looking forward to another one.
