WHO DAT!

In case you didn't know, the Superbowl was yesterday! It was a great game. Saints v. Colts, the 2 teams that went the majority of the season undefeated. The Colts were picked by virtually every sports anchor to win this game. Very few people were giving the Saints any credit at all for the amazing season they had. Everyone was talking about how good Peyton Manning was and how the Saints' defense was gonna have a tough time stopping him. But, everyone forgot about Drew Brees. Drew Brees is just as good if not better than Peyton. No one talked about Drew though. No one gave him any respect at all.




Now, with the way the game started it looked like all of the sports anchors and fans were right, the Colts were gonna blow the Saints right out of the water. The Colts went out to an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Peyton was playing just how everybody expected him to. He was moving the ball down the field no problem. He couldn't be stopped...until the second quarter. In the second quarter both the Saints offense and defense stepped it up. Although the Saints didn't get a touchdown, the Colts didn't even score. The score going into halftime was Colts 10 and Saints 6.




I don't know about you, but for me the second half is kinda just a big blur. Not to many plays stand out until you get closer to the end of the game. The Saints had just scored a touchdown and were going for the 2 point conversion. Drew Brees threw the ball to his receiver who made an INSANE catch. He caught it but when he hit the ground he lost control. But, before he completely lost control, he grabbed the ball basically by his fingertips and stretched into the endzone for the successful 2 point conversion.




Now, Peyton and the colts had the ball. They were driving down the field. The couldn't be stopped by ANYONE on the Saints defense....except Pierre Thomas. Pierre basically put the nail in the coffin by intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown putting the Saints up by 2 touchdowns. Now, isn't it kinda funny how the man that everyone said was going to win the Superbowl for the Colts, actually lost it for them? I found it quite humorous myself hahaha.




The Saints and the Who Dat Nation finally got the Superbowl that they had been longing for and desperately needed.

UNC - Champs to Chumps :(

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE Tarheel Basketball...but lately they have been struggling. Especially in ACC play. Last year, everyone had them as their favorite going into the season. This year they were in the top 10 for a bit. Then, they started playing conference teams. The Tarheels have an in conference record of 2-4 and were handed their worst home loss since 2003 against UVA this past Sunday. I mean, that's the worst possible team to have that happen to besides Duke. By the way, just gonna put this out there, I absolutely hate duke and everyone associated with them. I REALLY REALLY do not like duke. Like, there is just something about Coach K and the players on the team and the way that they play that just really irks me. Like, they get ALL the calls, they can hand check whenever they want to and it's just ridiculous...sorry about that haha.



Back to the struggling UNC....poor guys. I mean, they went from having Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington to having 5 or 6 freshman that have to get significant playing time. SO, I guess when you think about it that way, their conference record is somewhat acceptable. But, after the past four years at least of success it is weird to have a year such as this. For the past four years Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke's Home Court) has been owned by Hansbrough and the Tarheels. Now that he and the other 3 leading scorers from last years National Championship have moved on to the NBA, UNC has to rebuild. And, basically, that's what this year is. A rebuilding year. Now, once all of these freshman have a year under their belts UNC will be a force to reckon with, so watch out.



Now, as some of you may know, UNC travels down to Blacksburg this Thursday to take on the Hokies in an ACC match up. Although this is no approved of by the majority of my friends, I WILL be cheering for UNC this Thursday, and I WILL be wearing Carolina blue in the student section. Now, this may not b a good decision when it come to my physical well being, but I've got to stay loyal to my boys.



So, I'll leave you and that note and, of course, GO TARHEELS!!!!

The "Aints" are no more! Who Dat Nation rises to the occasion!

Who dat sayin dey gonna beat dem Saints?! Well, the Vikings thought they were but the Saints pulled through! Now before you even think it, no I did not hop onto the Saints bandwagon. They always have been and will be my number 2 team (my heart lies with the Redskins). I'm justso happy to see them going to the Superbowl!! They deserve it more than anybody. To quote Sean Payton, "4 years ago this room and holes and it was wet...it ain't wet no more". I'm sure you all remember hurricane Katrina. This hurricane devastated the city of New Orleans and some people weren't sure they would be able to make it back. Some people doubted the city. Some people doubted the Saints. Some people doubted the Who Dat Nation!! Especially after they lost those 2 games at the end of the season. But now, the city, the team, and the nation have proven those doubters wrong,they have made it to the Superbowl!



Now, this is just one of the many things that happened as a result of the game. The Vikings lost the game and because of that the "will he or won't he" talks have started for Brett Favre. He has retired multiple times and has comeback out of that retirement to play football. SO, now everyone is starting to talk about whether or not they feel Brett will return. Well, do you? Personally I figure he'll be back, AGAIN, and play some more football. The man is probably gonna play until he physically just can not do it anymore.


Now, the Superbowl. The 2 teams in the Superbowl are the 2 teams that went the majority of the season undefeated, Saint and Colts. The two teams were the favorites to win the Superbowl for the majority of the season mainly due to their explosive offensive potential. The Saints' lead by Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. These two players are by far 2 of the best and most explosive players playing the game. Their big play potential is one of the big reasons that the Saints are as big of a threat as the are. Another reason is their defense which is one of the best in the league at creating turnovers. If I remember correctly, they forced 6 fumbles in the NFC Championship and recovered 3 of them while also adding either 1 or 2 interceptions. When you put all of those things together, you have a Superbowl caliber team.
