Bitter sweet

For what is probably the greatest season in the history of Texas Tech football, the ending to the season could not have been more disappointing. Losing terribly to Oklahoma and then getting blown out of the Cotton Bowl by Ole Miss after having a 14-0 lead is not exactly the ending we were looking forward to.

After Darcel McBath's interception return touchdown, I was feeling pretty confident about the game. Boy did I feel dumb after that safety in the fourth quarter that put us down 40-28.

With Harrell graduating and Crabtree likely leaving for the NFL Draft, I'm not exactly sure what to think. This season was so memorable, but the ending was sour. Is this the best that Texas Tech football had to offer? Not much can be expected with so much talent leaving, as well as knowing that it is unlikely that Texas Tech could ever possibly put together a better team than this season's.

Besides Texas Tech, this was an interesting day in sports. The Sugar Bowl outcome was SHOCKING. I did not in the least bit expect Utah to beat Alabama, even less expecting them to beat them so badly.

In the NBA I am impressed that the Raptors beat the Rockets by 21. I was impressed by the Nets defeat of the Hawks, Devin Harris is a beast. The Blazers showed nothing against the Hornets, but not much can be taken out of that game because Brandon Roy did not play. As expected, the Celtics, Cavs, and Lakers all showed everyone how good they are by blowing out their opponents. Kobe went off for 40 just like I said he would.

Finally, rumor has it that the Giants are making an offer to Manny Ramirez, possibly for four years. I pray to god that this is true. As a Giants fan I would love nothing more than to have Manny in our lineup. Come on Brian Sabean!!!
