COLLEGE FOOTBALL


The North Carolina Tarheels must get their act together after losing at Virginia in overtime last week 16-13. The Tarheels face Boston College at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Saturday. The Tarheels have a 5-2 record for the season. Go Tarheels!!!!

NFL

The Carolina Panthers(7-4) play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday while the undefeated Tennessee Titans face the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. While I like the Titans,I also like Peyton Manning,a former Tennessee Volunteer,and the Colts coach Tony Dungy.

NASCAR

The Chase for the Sprint Cup races in Hampton, Ga., this week at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Jimmie Johnson widened his points lead after winning at Martinsville last week. My favorite Chase driver Matt Kenseth garnered an impressive eighth place finish at Martinsville,a track Kenseth says is his least favorite of the Sprint Cup tracks,even after an accidental on track rub with teammate David Ragan. I hope Matt does well at Atlanta also,along with my next favorite Chase driver Greg Biffle. Bobby Labonte has won races at Atlanta. Perhaps he will do it again this time. Friday's qualifying session at Atlanta was rained out so the drivers will start by points with points leader Jimmie Johnson starting first. Go Bobby,Matt,Greg,Jamie McMurray,Elliott Sadler,Denny Hamlin, and all my other favorite drivers!!!! Good luck to home track favorites Bill Elliott, David Ragan, and Reed Sorenson as well!!!!
