But if you win your division, shouldn't you get a big advantage, thus adding value to all the season-long slog to the finish? Home and Away 2-1-2. Sucks for the lower team, but you didn't win your division. I love seeing the Padres (would have loved the Mariners too), but I kind of want to se the best vs. the best, if possible.

Back in 2006 we had the feeling that the Tigers long layoff hurt them. 2 teams that had almost a week off have faltered now and the Yankees could be the third today. Maybe there really is something to it. Kind of like a rhythm to it

I get annoyed at Al Michael's saying Uh-Oh when a player is laying on the ground with a head injury, so I am using it on Under The Radar Radio tonight. This is how Al sounds in the final mix Al Michaels on UTR.mp3

I was kidding. They aren't going to cover that contract.

I only have a few hours, but I will do some laughing at Notre Dame. Preseason Rankings should be banned.

Any news on Tuzz?

I hope the Padres take it all. They did it without their star............who they might try to get rid of.......................Hey Scott Harris, y'interested?

Wow, if the Padres hang on (and I hope they do), the Dodgers, for all the domination in the regular season they've had the last half a decade, the only title would be in 2020....the 60 game seasons that'll never really feel legit. Kind of feels like the early 90's Braves. But who knows, maybe they'll score 5 runs in the top of the 9th.

What a day today, some GREAT games. Tomorrow.......... 1 - Georgia 2 - Ohio State 3 - Michigan (sorry, this idea that Alabama will be ahead of them is garbage). 4 - Clemson 5 - Tennessee 6 - Alabama

Down goes U$C. Gotta tell ya, the way the refs handled that clock at the end - it was very very suspect.

Sometimes you gotta steal a few. They stole one tonight. They'll have a few stolen from them too, but this feels nice. It certainly feels like we're going to lose Tyler Bertuzzi for a few weeks. So, this looks like Filip Zadina's time to step in. Do you pop him right on the top line - prove it, kid?

Sure Tudor, you're right........Gretchen Whitmer didn't fix 50+ years of road neglect in 3 1/2 years. What a failure.

But football................He was good at football..........

Come on Matthew............I would LOVE to see him win this game.

I like seeing Raymond mix it up a little bit.

Dougie Hamilton is such a hockey name.

Does Michigan jump Alabama? Probably. I mean they totally dominated PSU today. If not for a couple of mistakes, they could have won that game 50-7. Does Tennessee jump into the Top 4? They probably should........USC will have something to say. If USC makes a statement tonight it could be difficult for Alabama to get back into the Top 4. How awesome would it be if Alabama was NOT in the playoff? Illinois has arrived. 6-1 now, looks to be in control of the West. Bielema is a Coach Of The Year candidate if they go 9-3 or better. If they go 3-2 the rest of the way they are there. They have Nebraska, Michigan State, Purdue, Michigan and Northwestern..........They could easily end up 9-3. Purdue & Illinois - the Battle For The West? Nebraska is 2-1, if they end up winning the west, why would they replace Mickey Joseph? The Clemson game is huge for USC, Tennessee & TCU. Syracuse is headed for the Top 15. The celebration at Tennessee is pretty funny. They are removing the uprights from the stadium (or they are trying to). Just let them. They have a game next week at home.......They have backup uprights, don't they? What a night it's gonna be in Knoxville. I think it would be awesome if the USC/UCLA game was like the old days and meant everything.

My prediction (on the air yesterday) was Michigan 34, Penn State 23. Penn State's going to have to get something going offensively. Michigan dominating TOP today so far.

Blake Corum is making a serious statement that he should at least be in NYC on December 10th.

That throw as he was falling.....................Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, but that showed some serious arm strength.

JJ starting to look like we'd hoped

I think it's going to be like that all season with the netminders. I think Ned looked great the first half last year but he and the team defense faltered so badly in the second half. I think it's like NFL running backs. Good to always have a 1a and 1b. Lalonde's laser-focused on improving team defense this year and having a fresh goalie is a big part of it. I don't think Jake Allen "stood on his head" last night. I don't think the Wings had a lot of second chances last night and they have had that problem for awhile now. I mean, the only non-empty net goal was a second chance goal. It makes you appreciate Tomas Holmstrom and the beating he took more and more.

fairly easy call tonight.

I don't think they will have a #1 and #2.................I think they are going to play about equal amounts unless someone gets red hot or ice cold. Ned will probably start tomorrow in Jersey.
