Weekend Sports Roundup

Seriously, Andy Murray beat Rafael Nadal today in 4 sets. It's Andy Murray vs. Roger Federer for the US Open championship tomorrow afternoon. Seriously. I can't wait for the final tomorrow.

Kentucky beat Norfolk State 38-3 on Saturday to go 2-0. Norfolk State's band beat UK's band at halftime though. I hope someone YouTube's their show as I heard it was great. DH, oldest and youngest sons went to Ann Arbor for the game and brought home a win, matching sunburns, a bag filled with Michigan gear and the best souvenier cup ever (a travel mug instead of one of those huge flimsy plastic cups!) They got home in time for the ending of the Ole Miss (darn) and WVU games (oh yeah, and guess who's ranked #14 in this week's ESPN poll? That's right, ECU!)

Ohio State. Oh, poor Ohio State looked pathetic yesterday. For their sake, let's hope they simply completely overlooked Ohio U. If not, well, USC is going to have a lot of fun next weekend with them.

I refused to watch/listen to the Dolphins today, just on principle (and because here in Bengals/Browns/Steelers country the odds of getting a Dolphins game on TV is slim to none). I'm as sick of the words "Brett Favre" as I am of "Sarah Palin".

Speaking of the Republican VP nominee--and keeping this on a sports theme--all I'll say about her is that being a hockey mom DOES NOT mean she's qualified to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.
