WEEKEND IN REVIEW FOR 9/3 AND 9/4/05As expected the first weekend in September did not disappoint as the college football season kicked off and provided us with a couple of stunning upsets. A much underrated TCU team was shown no respect by the linemakers and decided to take their anger out on the Sooners of Oklahoma in Norman with a stunning 17-10 outright win.
Meanwhile the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets visited Jordan Haire stadium in Auburn, Alabama and halted the Tigers 15-game unbeaten streak with a very convincing 23-14 victory. The Yellow Jackets were making their first visit to Auburn since 1986.
The USC Trojans decided to take a little trip to Hawaii to work out a few kinks and while there decided to put the boots to June Jones Rainbows. They scored 63 points and it will be interesting to see the line that the boys hang up in Vegas, when underrated Arkansas visits in two weeks. I suspect the Trojans will be at least 21-point favorites and they may be in for a big surprise!
Any hopes that the Cleveland Indians had of catching the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central were squashed by the Minnesota Twins on the weekend as the Tribe lost 2 of 3 to the Twins and the Sox took 4 from the listless Tigers. One has to wonder how long Tiger management will hang in with skipper Alan Trammel and his cronies. Detroit has lost 8 of their past 10 and they are showing know heart!
Meanwhile the Yankees escaped Oakland holding the wild card lead in the AL and believe it or not their much maligned pitching staff was superb after the shellacking they took on Friday. If and that is a huge IF, the Yankees will get in the playoffs with this type of pitching!
Usually when Tiger Woods begins a tournament with a 65, the organizers can pretty well order his nameplate for the trophy, but Woods faltered big time at the Deutsche Bank Championships in Norton, Mass. Heading into the final round the tournament is up for grabs, with 15 golfers within 3 shots of the lead!
With nearly everyone focused on the battle for the final spots in the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship, 20-year-old Kyle Busch stole the show Sunday night with his first career victory. He became the youngest winner in NASCAR's top stock car series, winning the Sony HD 500 in Fontana. California. One familiar face to NASCAR fans who will not qualify for the Chase in two weeks is Dale Earnhardt Jr, whose engine blew and he dropped to 18th in the standings.
In a battle of the Williams sisters, Venus knocked off Serena in the quarter finals at the US Open. But neither Williams is quite at the top of her game. Venus, seeded 10th, is closer, is having won her third Wimbledon title two months ago. Serena has missed much of the year with knee and ankle problems, and said earlier this week that she was at less than 50 percent.
Things were much more orderly for the other seeds Sunday. Top seeds Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova advanced in straight sets, as did the fourth-seeded Clijsters and No. 9 Nadia Petrova. Former U.S. Open champion Lleyton Hewitt got a scare from American Taylor Dent, eking out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (2), 6-2, 7-5 victory.
No. 11 David Nalbandian and No. 15 Domini Hrbaty advanced, and David Sanguinetti won the longest match of the Open so far, beating Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan 6-3, 4-6, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5) in 4 hours, 24 minutes.
