In Case You Missed It

There was a very action filled Thanksgiving week in the world of Sports. The NFL gave us a very Happy Thanksgiving with three back to back action filled games, starting with the undefeated Green Bay Packers taking on the Detroit Lions, followed by the Miami Dolphins giving the Dallas Cowboys a run for their money, and ending with a sibling rivalry between John and Jim Harbaugh, head coaches of the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.

Not only did we get action in the NFL, college football was also a thriller with rivalry week with games like Georgia versus Georgia Tech, Auburn versus Alabama, Clemson versus South Carolina and Florida versus Florida State just to name a few.  The game of games in college football this week had to be the Texas Tech versus Baylor game whose score when it came to the end looked the score of a college basketball game with Baylor beating Texas Tech 66-42. Baylor's Ganaway rushed for 257 yards and 3 touchdowns in the game and between the 2 teams there were 3 receivers to have more than 100 receiving yards.  And with the on going legal issues and scandal surrounding Penn State they continue to struggle as they lost yesterday to Wisconsin 45-7.

Football wasn't the only thing getting all the action basketball was right there with them college and NBA.  And I know there were no NBA games BUT the players and owners have reached a tentative agreement ending the lockout yesterday November 26th after 146 days.    In college basketball Duke won it's 5th straight Maui Invitational title. The Blue Devils have attended the Maui Invitational 5 times and are 15-0 in the tournament, winning again on Wednesday against Kansas.  The game came down to the end and Tyler Thornton hit a late 3 pointer that sealed the victory for the Blue Devils.  Also in action last night UNLV upset the top ranked UNC in the Las Vegas Invitational championship game.  The game was head to head but UNLV eventually  began to pull away and left the Tarheels in shock beating them by 10 points.  Also another one of college basketball teams were in action last night as well, UCONN topped Florida State in overtime in the Battle 4 Atlantis consolation game in the Bahamas.
