This weekend has all the makings for a total body "sports-gasm!"
What is the best matchup?
The Bucs at Indy? The 3-1 Bucs try to turn the tables on Tony's undefeated Colts the year after winning the Super Bowl. Remember how Tony turned the trick with a 21-point 4th quarter rally a few years ago?
The Gators at LSU? Sure the Gators hurt their hopes of repeating by losing at home to Auburn. But a win tomorrow night will throw the Gators back in the middle of everything.
USF at FAU? The Bulls will now start to feel the pressure of playing in the Top Ten. The Owls are not exactly West Virginia, but anything less than a 2-touchdown win will knock the Bulls out of that #6 spot.
The baseball playoffs? By Monday, the race for the Fall Classic may have a whole new look. The Cubs, Phillies and maybe the Yankees could have some major explaining to do.
The Lightning and Atlanta. I know it is only the second game, but Atlanta is the defending division champ and it is always fun watching Vinny.
It will also be interesting to see what Xavier Lee can do as the starting quarterback for FSU against NC State. Will UCF crack the top 20 with a win over East Carolina? Can Randy Shannon continue to set the foundation at Miami?
And that doesn't even count the Nextel Cup race at Talladega. 14 points separate the top 3 drivers. Will this be the weekend Little E gets his first win of the season?
If you like watching sports, you'll love this weekend.
