In NCAA football action, they don't get much bigger today than #4 ranked LSU hosting #1 ranked, and defending national champion, Florida. That one goes in Baton Rouge, and yours truly will be among those getting ready for it in the parking lot of LSU, along with Bukkake, as part of his bachelor party weekend in New Orleans and area. Good times, guaranteed. Of course, the RM the next couple days will be pre-written - and that's why it doesn't include commentary on last night - and Monday will be a rare day off from the blogosphere for yours truly.
Toronto FC host the lowly San Jose Earthquakes today, and the goal is pretty clear: win and stay in the playoff picture, lose and assume you're done, and prepare for a full scale fan riot that may rival the videos you've been watching below the last few days. Kickoff is 4pm (Eastern) on CBC.
The rest of the soccer leagues around the world are shut down this weekend for World Cup qualifying. In Europe, Germany is in Russia to largely sort out who will advance directly to South Africa (on Setanta Sports this morning). Group One could get turned upside down with the top four teams all facing each other including the current leaders Denmark hosting second place Sweden and a desperate third place Portugal hosting Hungary. England is at Ukraine and Croatian's worldwide will be praying the English do Croatia a solid and leave with at least a point. England plan on playing their top players the first 45 and - yikes - have David James starting in goal. On this side of the world, Argentina will be getting the most attention as they're currently fifth and not in a direct qualification slot. They've got Peru today, and have Uruguay Wednesday who are just a point back. A huge day, to state the obvious.
You're 6-7-2 in your last 15 heavyweight boxing fights. And 47-years old. Tomato can, right? Nope, good enough to get you a title shot next year if you're Evander Holyfield. Small wonder why many people think boxing is out of touch, and by "out of touch", I mean "a joke". Holyfield will allegedly fight Vitali Klitschko next year.
And finally, completing the series, here is your #1 Scariest Sports Riot...
