Jones, the high profile recruit, recently switched his commitment from Stanford to Notre Dame after taking his official visit there After that three key events took place:1 Stanford lay the beat down on the Golden Domers2 Charlie Weiss got fired3. Harbaugh stayed at Stanford (for the time being)On top of that, Jimmy Clausen is expected to declare for the NFL draft. I dont know if this has affected his thinking at all, but it is just something interesting to watch.So as they say life is good on The Farm (itd be a little bit better if Gerhart won the Heisman, but still.)

On the season, he is averaging 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, one block, and is shooting 57 percent from the field and 88 percent from the foul line. 3. Is It Time to Trade Kobe BryantKobe was able to play through a partially dislocated finger on Saturday, but he shot just 7-24 from the field with a season-low 16 points. However, he did attempt a season-high nine three-pointers, and should be able to play through this injury and contribute all across the board. 4. Danny Granger Is Out Again Granger missed 15 games last season and is out 4-6 weeks this season with Plantar Fascia (right heel). With his absence Mike Dunleavy, Roy Hibbert,and TroyMurphyhave picked up the scoring load. 5.

The Australian Open begins in just under a month's time and Rafael Nadal will be keen to defend his title to make sure that he still holds one of the 4 major titles. In 2007 the British number 1 Andy Murray almost stunned the tennis world when he took Nadal to 5 sets in the 4th round in Melbourne. Nadal went on to lose in the Quarter Finals to Fernando Gonzalez in straight sets.Nadal and Murray have met on 2 further occasions in Grand Slam tennis, in the Wimbledon Quarter Finals 2008 where the Scot lost to Nadal in straight sets and at the US Open Semi Final where Murray earned his maiden victory over the Spaniard in 4 sets. Nadal and Murray met 3 times in 2009 with Nadal winning 2 of their 3 meetings.It is hard to see Murray upsetting the Betting Odds and winning the Australian Open.. The Bengals entered Sunday's game at Minnesota with a chance to officially clinch the AFC North title and show the rest of the NFL that they are indeed an elite team.Neither happened, as Marvin Lewis saw his team play possibly its worst game of the season.Penalties, mistakes, and a sputtering offense paved the way for a 30-10 Vikings victory.Carson Palmer completed just 15 passes for 94 yards, one of the worst yardage games in his career.
The only positive in the passing game was a 15-yard touchdown pass to Chad Ochocinco.With 96 yards on 16 carries, Cedric Benson was able to go over the 1,000-yard mark on the season.The defense, which has carried this team for the majority of the season, did not play all that well either. Giving free yards away and expecting to beat them is virtually impossible. If the Bengals want a legitimate shot at advancing deep into the playoffs, they must stop giving teams yards because of mental mistakes.Personal fouls, kickoffs that go out of bounds, and an inability to control the clock are certainly not the things I was hoping to see yesterday.Pitiful performance Yes.A great season ruined as the Bengals sink back into the abyss of the NFL No.However, Cincinnati faces another playoff-bound team this week when they travel to San Diego. The Chargers are 10-3 and would receive a first-round bye if the playoffs started today.Read more in The Wight Pages.. "How you feelin" I asked a friend of 25 years on the night before the SEC Championship Game."Nervous, Mike But I got nervous before the Vandy game But you know what I love the 'Bama fans," he replied "They'reknowledgeable They're passionate about their team It matters to them. They're good people."Spoken to me by a fellow Florida Gator.Turning to the large black binder that sits on the desk of my classroom, I thought about a letter inside of ita letter I received many years ago by former Alabama head football coach Gene Stallings.I still have it.
