Orlando Rays

USF lost to Cincy. Again. All the "signature I-A wins" in the world won't matter if you don't make it out of your conference. :mischief

Also, their were reports on FoxSoccerChannel that the accident was career-ending. I was really liking the Altidore/Donovan/Davies attack. Concern about his career is mere speculation at this time, but he is almost certainly out of the World Cup. The recovery time is expected to be 6-12 months. He's only 23. I think he'll play again.

Boise State's stay outside the pool didn't last long. but USC and Ohio State--the perennial BCS chokers--are nipping at their heels. They also decided to add Notre Dame to the Top 25 party. 1) Florida (50), 5-0, 1490 2) Alabama (10), 6-0, 1430 3) Texas, 5-0, 1395 4) Virginia Tech, 5-1, 1283 5) Boise State, 5-0, 1199 6) USC, 4-1, 1161 7) Ohio State, 5-1, 1048 8) Cincinnati, 5-0, 1038 9) Miami, 4-1, 970 10) LSU, 5-1, 947 11) Iowa, 6-0, 919 12) TCU, 5-0, 917 13) Oregon, 5-1, 776 14) Penn State, 5-1, 597 15) Nebraska, 4-1, 576 16) Oklahoma State, 4-1, 559 17) Kansas, 5-0, 551 18) Brigham Young, 5-1, 490 19) Georgia Tech, 5-1, 453 20) Oklahoma, 3-2, 432 21) USF, 5-0, 330 22) South Carolina, 5-1, 319 23) Houston, 4-1, 192 24) Utah, 4-1, 76 25) Notre Dame, 4-1, 75 Dropping: Auburn 17, Mississippi 20, Missouri 24 Results for the Florida schools: #1 Florida (4-0) beat #4 LSU (5-0), 13-3 #11 Miami (4-1) beat Florida A&M (4-1), 48-16 #23 USF (5-0) was idle UCF (3-2) was idle FSU (2-4) lost to #22 Georgia Tech (5-1), 49-44 FIU (1-4) beat Western Kentucky (0-5), 37-20 FAU (0-4) was idle Week 6 Schedule for Florida schools #1 Florida (5-0) vs. Arkansas (3-2), Saturday, October 17 @ 3:30pm #9 Miami (4-1) @ UCF (3-2), Saturday, October 17 @ 7:30pm #21 USF (5-0) vs. #8 Cincinnati (5-0), Thursday, October 15 @ 7:30pm FSU (2-4) is idle (and if they're smart, they'll fire Bobby Bowden :mischief) FIU (1-4) vs. Troy (3-2), Saturday, October 17 @ 7:00pm FAU (0-4) @ North Texas (1-4), Saturday, October 17 @ 7:00pm

The absolute best is super-high prices for a 2011 postseason opening. More likely is opening in time for participation in the 2012 WBC, perhaps for the finals. If I'm not mistaken, the next WBC will be in 2013 and Miami is definately being considered to host a Semifinal or Final round in the new stadium. Okay, I see that now. They decided to go every four years instead of three from this point on.

I had a feeling Fredi was in no danger.

Brent Musburger isn't exactly a young buck. He may just be getting senile. :mischief

Having the 2014 World Cup immensely helped Rio. Without that, I have a feeling Chicago gets it. But the logic is they must be ready for the World Cup to be ready for the Olympics. And as passionate as Brazil is for football, they wouldn't dare let down FIFA.

Texas is too low. It looks like it's on San Antonio. It should be about 1/3 between where it is now and TCU's icon. Sorry, feel nitpicky.

Boise State didn't even lose, but they get bumped out of the Top 5 by a one-loss team. We would expect nothing more from the biased sportswriters. In the meantime, South Florida is trying to prove they can be a lasting power in the post-Grothe era.

Someone on the website I usually argue politics on actually had the nerve to say that the women deserve what they get for doing this, and they shouldn't have exacted this revenge. Sorry. You know what they say about a woman scorned. He scorned (at least) three women. This is his just desserts, and he'd have to have the trial moved to Iran to get a conviction on them. :mischief

Tell us where it says the government will pay for their healthcare.

The Top 25 got butchered. Are the Gators dead men walking with Tim Tebow going from Reborn Jesus to Mush-for-Brains?

Yes, but there's nothing neutral or dark about that bright ass royal blue they have in the renderings. That blue reminds me of looking into Tropicana Field when the Rays were the Devil Rays.

I doubt they will set a name this year. The Twins signed a naming deal for Target Field until the end of the 2008 season. That would be in-line to Sept. 2010 for "Miami Ballpark".

The outfield seating is going to be freaking spectacular.

Miami Marlins - 1956 @ The OB Vs. Columbus Jets Talk about crunk. That's closer than the first coming of the L.A. Coliseum, which was 253 ft. in LF. Because of renovations since 1958, in 2008 it was only like 183 ft. when they did the exhibition game. Sure made things easy for Manny. And the new Marlins Ballpark will have one of the deeper overall outfields at sea level in the entire sports. I think they ought to revisit that. It's proven quite the blunder at Citi Field.

They will most certainly, win or fail, sell out the first several home series. A new ballpark always attracts people in droves. See: Nationals Park. Their attendance is down over 8,000/game over last season, because they suck. :mischief If the team is good in 2011, and stays good in 2012, they definitely have a chance to draw near-sellout crowds all year in 2012. I doubt they will sell out the entire season, but they ought to be close if they're good.
