playoffs

College football bowl season begins today. While diehard football fans will take the opportunity to sit on the sofa and crack open a few beers, I'm wondering to myself why all of these bowl games matter. I know that the American Standard Toilet Bowl matters to the athletes playing in it, the students who attend the participating institutions, and the parents of all of the above...

A number of Acadiana teams are still alive in the 2012 LHSAA football playoffs. Here's the teams in action tonight. Good luck to all our local teams!

It was a pretty good opening week of the 2012 LHSAA High School football playoffs for Acadiana teams. Teams like St. Thomas More, Teurlings Catholic, Notre Dame and Acadiana were expected to win. But then there was a nice surprise or two, like St. Martinville pulling off a big upset in 4A.

Jhonny Peralta homered twice, and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 8-1, at Comerica Park on Thursday to sweep the American League Championship Series and advance to the World Series for the first time since 2006.

One of the more controversial aspects of lightning rod Denver Broncos quarterback QB Tim Tebow is the way he outwardly prays during games, and always credits Jesus for Broncos victories in post-game interviews.

Well the post season is upon us. The New Orleans Saints finishing the 2011 regular season campaign with a 13-3 record. Detroit finished 10-6 and are in the postseason for the first season since 1999. The game is a rematch of the December 4 meeting that went the way of the Saints 31-17.

These boys have put in some dedication! It's about that time, to see where the brackets lie and what team is playing who.
