What Happened Last Night...

A lot. It was a sports fans night with college football upsets, baseball playoffs, NBA preseason, and a little high school football that could prove very important in 8 days.

Another weekend, another Top 5 team loses in college football. This time it was #2 USF losing on the road at Rutgers, 30-27. Because they are an upstart program and play in the Big East USF won't get an opportunity to play for NC even if they only have one lose. Now they can focus on winning the Big East title, therefore playing in a BCS bowl for the first time.

Cleveland couldn't close out Boston at home. After a 7-1 Boston victory, the series swifts back to the Northeast. This will inevitable make it harder for Cleveland, but they have Fausto Carmona pitching in Game 6 against the sock-painter himself Curt Schilling.

I got my first opportunity to see Kevin Durant in a Sonics uniform last night. I didn't see much of the game, but from what I did see it looked like he was nervous and uncomfortable out there. That should change with experience, hopefully. By the way, the what the hell happened to Robert Swift, he looks like a bum.

In the SPSL South, Rogers beat Graham-Kapowsin, 30-12. That puts Rogers in the playoffs and potentially sets up a league championship game next Friday if Puyallup takes care of business tonight against Curtis.

Added to all of these great sporting events was a hilarious episode of The Office. It was a TV watchers dream night.
