CFB Saturday preview and golf in rain delay

It is raining and lightening is on the way in Dublin, Ohio, so round two of the President’s Cup is in a “holding” pattern.  The USA is up in five matches, only Bradley and Mickelson trail the “internationals”.  Woods and Kuchar are still at it, going strong (up one over Oosthuiezen and Schwartzel)  and doing their Price of Bel Air handshake.  These two are good together and Tiger really seems to be enjoying himself on the golf tour this year, after a rather tumultuous past few years.  Anyhow, hope they can continue with the foursome play today and finish up before darkness descends.  Update: action set to resume at 5:45 pm EST.  Lefty and Bradley have turned it around, they are on fire and up 4 shots!!  Currently USA 3.5, internationals 2.5 as play continues.

Meanwhile, some great college football is on the tap for this weekend.  Last night’s action saw UCLA survive Utah, 34 – 27.  Utah is a very underrated team and the Pac 12 is DEEP this year!  Texas defeated Iowa State, 31 – 30, courtesy of a blown cal by the referees, now being referred to as the “no fumble” call.  Wonder if Mack Brown’s trousers are burning?

25 Maryland vs. 8 Florida State at noon on Saturday could be a very interesting game.  The Terps are a very pleasant surprise this year, and good for  the ACC.  Georgia Tech travels to Miami to take on the 14th ranked Hurricanes at 3:30 pm EST.  Miami does not have the defense that VT brought to Grant Field last Thursday so look for the Jackets to roll out their triple option attack in a much better fashion.  I am hoping for the upset!

6 UGA will face traditional rival Tennessee, Dawgs should win with ease but then again, one never knows.  2 Oregon will face Colorado…Quack Attack should get it done but DAT (DeAnthony Thomas) has been in a walking boot all week and not expected to see action.  24 Ole Miss will face Auburn, Arkansas will travel to the swamp to take on 18 Florida, Kentucky will face 13 South Carolina and 10 LSU will face off against Miss State.  Two games I am interested in are 4 Ohio State vs. 16 Northwestern and the big one, 5 Stanford hosting 15 Washington State and QB Keith Price.

Gonna be a great football weekend, as always!
