USF knocks off #5 West Virginia.

How about those Bulls. No not the Chicago Bulls or the New York Red Bulls, but the the University of South Florida Bulls.

How those a team get out-gained, out-possessed, give up more turnovers and penalties and still win. Well thats what happen this Friday when The University of South Florida upset the #5 team in the nation, West Virginia, 21-13.

West Virginia had twice the amount of yardage than South Florida did. 437 yards to 274 yards. They also had 249 passing yards, which was more than South Florida's 135.

West Virginia had 28 more plays ran than South Florida. South Florida just happened to be the right place, at the right time.

West Virginia running game was no where to be found, both Heisman candidates Pat White and Steve Slaton were flat-out shut down.The Bulls defense look like a spanish rampage, while The Mountaineers offensive line looked tired and old. The Bulls defense forced six turnovers against a top 10 team, not bad for a program that just started 11 years ago.

Next week is the week FAU fans has been waiting for. That's right baby, University of South Florida comes to Fort Lauderdale to face the Owls of Florida Atlantic. I'll be there, and i'll tell you one thing, expect this game to be crazy and suprising. Can FAU continue its trend of last week upsets, let's see. Go FAU.

Gay community accepts Tim Hardaway

Former Miami Heat player, Tim Hardaway was embraced by gay community after homophopic comments made several months ago.

Hardaway's comments were

"Well, you know i hate gay people, so let it be known. i don't like gay people and i don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. i don't like it. He also said he would not want a gay teammate.

The Yes institute in Miami was holding a discussion on how to keep transgender kids safe and out of harms way. When it came to share an idea, out of nowhere, Tim Hardaway raised his hand.

With 40 people, some of them gay and some of them strangers, he talked about the importance of being educated, awared, and knowledgable.

"I just wanted to go in and get educated, that's all. Get educated on what I said and why I said those things,'' Hardaway said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm working on understanding it now. I'm not really trying to make amends. I've been there trying to get help.''

My question is, why wait several months to go to a meeting like this. Tim Hardaway's comments were unfortunate and repulsive. You don't make a comment and tell a community you hate them, it's just wide of the mark. Humans make mistakes. i don't care if you're a millionare or a middle-class citizen, a remark like this will bring negative connetation to the public eye.
We know this visit to the Yes Institute was just a PR move, it's evident. We know Tim Hardaway wants to resurrect his image, and get back into the NBA.

But those who think that this move was enough, you better think again.

The gay community is a large community, a community who has rights just like everyone else. It will be a long time before Hardaway gains respect from the NBA and the public. The Yes Institute was the first step to fix his persona and to re-establish a relationship with the NBA and its players.

the Dolphins are 0-3, to start of the season.

The Dolphins down 31-14 in the fourth quarter, came back, but lost to Chad Pennington and the New York Jets, 31-28.

Chad Pennington threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another. He showed excitement after he scored his third touchdown of the day. He pumped his chest with his fist to the fans as a show of passion. Last week, he was doubtful to play the this game, but practice during the week and started for the team.

On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins are now 0-3. There's so many questions to be answered. When will former BYU quarterback rookie, John Beck start? When will the offensive line finally protect there quarterback?

One thing is for sure, Trent Green has been a good quarterback thus far. The few mistakes he made, was when he was not being protected by his offensive line. The Dolphins kicking game has been good, with Jay Feely. The talented running game from Leon Wasington and Ronnie Brown has been mediocre.

In all, Miami's offensive has been good, but the defense not's so good.

The Dolphins defense has not been able to stop the run. In there first three games, Miami's rushing defense has allow 100 or more yards to running backs; Clinton Portis, Marion Barber and Thomas Jones.

This week the Dolphins face the Oakland Raiders. Running Back, Lamont Jordan is second in the league with 350 yards rushing. He average's for more than 100 yards a game. Which means this week, Miami's rushing defense has to stop the run. The question is can they?

FAU is now 3-1. A look at FAU's impact players.

What a comeback it was in Denton, Texas, as the FAU Owls rallied back to beat North Texas 30-20. Oh yeah, what a quarterback shootout it was this this week.

FAU Owls quarterback, Rusty Smith and North Texas Mean Green quarterback, Daniel Meager threw for combined 623 yards. The biggest change this year from last year has been the play from the quarterback and defensive back position.

Smith, is in the top 30 in passing touchdown and 18th in passing yardage. You talk about stats, let's talk about his stats. In four games, Smith, has thrown for eight touchdowns and threw for 1,105 yards. He has completed 54 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 139.6.

On the defensive side of the field, Tavious Polo has been a shut-down cornerback for the owls. The freshmen, now leads the nation with six interceptions on the year. In the last two games, Polo, has five interceptions; three against Minnesota and two against North Texas.

"i dont focus on stats", said Polo. "I just want to win, if we win it doesn't matter."

FAU is now in first place in the Sun-Belt conference. Next week, FAU looks to upset the 14th ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Can anyone say... Upset city.
