You won’t want to miss those interviews on the Sports 225 that first airs Thursday. Chavis was great, Cameron was making his show debut and Miles was, well, Miles.
Because this past week was an off one for LSU, we not only got to do those interviews, but got to catch up on a few things and also watch some other teams play football. It says here that regardless of the BCS rankings and strength of schedule and all that, Florida State deserves to in the championship game.
Oregon has a nice team. It will get beaten soundly by Alabama. Think Notre Dame last year. Florida State could give Bama a game. But we’ll probably never know …
Thank goodness for Fox giving us an ESPN alternative. If you haven’t checked out their highlight shows, do it. Last night, dude said the New Orleans new Pelicans mascot looked like a cross between Woody Woodpecker and the Roadrunner. I think he insulted both of them:
