What a great night

As Scott Van Pelt put it ever so simply, "What a great night in sports." It really was. Of course, the marquee story is USC - who has looked absolutely unbeatable thus far - losing at Oregon State. Yes, the same Oregon State that played Maryland in a bowl game last year. All you can really say about this is going back to conference rivalries. Oregon State plays USC almost every year. They know they can play with them. It's a confidence thing that rivalries give you. USC is still the best team in the country and, in my opinion, will win the national championship. But they won't do it undefeated.

And then there was baseball. It seems like someone does actually want to make the National League playoffs. Both the Mets and the Brewers - two teams fighting for their playoff lives - got walk-off hits (a shot down the line by Reyes for the Mets and a grand slam by Braun for Milwaukee) to put their teams one step closer to the postseason. At the end of the night, the Phillies cling onto a one-game lead over the Mets. The Mets and Brewers are tied for the wild card. If you're at all interested in baseball, stay tuned this weekend; it should be fun to watch.
