What a weekend for sports lovers Monday will recap the big events as 3PM evolves to best please the readers!!!
Weekend Recap--
* Bama controlled the line of scrimmage and Nick Saban's boys beat the Gators and made Superman cry!!!
* Texas eeks one out against Nebraska. What a game The Horns had everything go against them and gutted it out setting up a game with the Tide. It should be a classic.
* TCU Cincy and Boise all finish undefeated and should raise hell with the BCS. Anyone telling me I was not the best team in the country after I had not lost a game would definitely draw my wrath!!!
* Things just get worse for the golden domers no Clausen or Tate for the new coach next year.
* LOOK FOR THE 3PM SPORTS BOWL CONTEST COMING SOON!!!
* Picking a close 12 finish by Colt and Ingram for the Heisman. Suh should be invited!!!
* Upsets in the NFL this week, no easy Sundays!!!
* Colts and Saints just get by. Cowboys and Steelers disappoint.
* Taking the Packers tonight.
* Lakers are the best team all others are playing catch up. All B-BALL Wednesday coming next post.
* Team USA picks up a favorable draw for the World Cup. Look for them to make it out of pool play for the second time in a row.
* Congrats to Omar Uresti a Crockett high and UT alumni who earned his card for next year's PGA tour . I have had the pleasure of playing with the O-Man and 3PM wishes him the best of luck!!!

Athlete of the day (sort of)--
Not sure of her name , but the young lady who went 10 for 10 at haltime of the SEC championship game to win scholarship money. She beat a most embarrassed young man and would have dominated either young lady from the Big 12 game . Good Show!!!

Dec. 4th/ Big Weekend!!!

OK folks let's get to it!!!

Sports in G--
*Tennessee vs Indy is the game of the week in the NFL Vince and co are on a roll and will play Peyton's gang tough. 3PM is calling it 27-24 Colts
* Look for the Powers of the league to dominate this weekend .
* Let's make this a prediction post and pick the two other must see games this week. Cowboys over the G-Men 32- 21 and Green Bay over Baltimore 24-14 on Monday night.
* BTW Chris Johnson is having a great year, but Adrian Peterson is still the #1 back in the league. Any Gm would confirm this!!!
* Big Ben is a player and would have gone if he could have . Maybe he can be faulted for taking to long to make the decision, but he wanted to play and that should be lauded!!!
* Sticking with the predictions in a game that I have been going back and forth with , I am picking Tebow and the Gators over Bama on Friday. Bama's defense will keep it close. Tebow makes just enough plays in the fourth quarter to win it 24-20.
* Upset special........... Pitt over Cincy 34-30!!!
* The Big 12 and ABC/ESPN have tried to get it hyped up, but TEXAS will beat Nebraska handily on Saturday . 3PM is calling it 32-10 . Nebraska has a great defense, but is going up against Colt and co. and a Will Muschamp defense that is still embarrassed by getting gashed by the Aggies. Texas vs Florida, Colt vs Tim, Mack vs Meyer!!! Get ready it's coming!!!
* TCU gets a much deserved BCS bid. I'm hoping for a match up with the SEC game loser and an old fashioned old SWC (TEX AND TCU) vs old SEC (FLO AND BAMA) in the biggest games. The south shall rise again!!!
* Congrats to Oregon and coach Chip Kelly, first year and a Rose Bowl Berth!!!
* Goodbye and Thanks for the memories to Coach Bobby Bowden !!! One of the greatest coaches of all time he helped introduce the speed and athleticism to college football that we now enjoy!!!
* Still calling Stoops to OU , thanks to my inside tip!!!
* Celts and Lakers are flexing some muscle!!!
* I'm giving my boy Pop some alot of rope . this Spurs team seems to be having more problems than expected, but I still think they come around and challenge the Kobe's at playoff time. Blair looks like a young Tim D!!!
* Dirk is hands down MVP at this point with Carmello as second choice.
* Kansas and Texas matchup will be historic in college b-ball, upsets elsewhere have it as 1 vs 2 now.
* Upsets in college in b-ball are expected early. It is who plays best in March that counts. Conference play starts soon and will weed out the best teams!!!
* Props to Real Salt Lake for beating Beck , The Don, and the LA Galaxy in the MLS final.
* World Cup draw today. 3PM early prediction is Germany wins it all!!!
* The Pac Man vs Money Mayweather WOW. Prediction post so I guess I'll give it an early go. Gotta pick May , as much as he irks me he just wins . I know I said I wouldn't pick against Pac ever again, but May will win it and retire for good!!!

SPORT OF THE DAY--
College Football and it's great loyal fans!!! Whatever team you have rooted for or against this year, it has been a blast. Some great games have led to a great championship weekend .Thanks to all the young men and coaches who have brought so much excitement to so many this year. Always respect and love your game!!! Let's enjoy the games and pray the powers that be give us a playoff system soon.

Dec 2/ The Tiger Blog

Hey all I am going to use this blog to express my opinion and hopefully receive your opinions on the issue of the day. Mr.Woods and the goings on in his life. 3PM SPORTS will back in full, all sports breakdown mode on Friday as we get ready for a huge weekend in Sport Land!!!

Tiger Tiger Tiger!!! In the age we now live in where more people get their news from TMZ than CNN, no one is immune to the PAP!!! First of all, I do believe parents should be their kids role models and an athlete should be judged on his or her field of play. Having said this Tiger and other high profile athletes are personalities just as much as they are athletes and when they accept huge amounts of money from Gatorade , Nike or any corporation, they chose to put their life in the public eye. Tiger's apology seemed heartfelt and should be taken as such. 3PM SPORTS wishes him and his family the best. He has helped my beloved game of golf to grow and reach new heights. The one part i do take offense to is that he speaks of his surprise, as to all the attention this is getting !!! Really Tiger??? You are not just a golfer you are Tiger and because you are Tiger and get paid more money to just show up at some tournaments than to win them, such as the Australian Masters, you are held to a higher standard. No sympathy here for all the publicity, you cash the checks and should have expected all the media attention. Lastly I would like to point out that I am not condemning and certainly not praising Tiger's indiscretions or any of the things that took place the night of the infamous wreck. At the end of the day they are simply people who like all of us have relationships that are not always perfect. Tiger will get through this and hopefully he as well as everyone following the story can learn a lesson or two. FAIRWAYS AND GREENS To Tiger and all my great readers!!!
