Been a little behind on the blog in the past week with a busy time at the office as well as a couple of projects that I am currently working. But time to get the Tractor in gear and take a look at a busy sporting weekend. Not a bad past few days on the sporting front. Plenty of action on both sides of the pond, unless you happened to be watching the Premier League games on Fox Soccer Channel stateside, but that aside the rewind this week will try to touch most of the highlights.

So the weather outside is terrible and no games to go to, that can mean only one thing a few day of sports. Starting with some soccer Arsenal vs. Aston Villa and then moving on to college football. Here are my thoughts during the lazy day.

A split on the football front for me this weekend and, with the inconsistent form of Ipswich combined with the plight of the injury decimated Seahawks, that's about the best I can realistically hope for on any given week.

Starting on the brighter side, the Tractorboys made it 7 points out of a possible 9 in their past 3 games with a solid 2-0 win at home against QPR. Click to continue reading...

As I develop this site we'll take a minute to look back over the previous weekend and get some regular themes established.

A royal blue weekend double for me as the Tractorboys got a rare win, romping past Plymouth 3-1, thanks to an Owen Garvan brace and a first in 11 games for Kevin Lisbie. Click to continue reading...

Thank you Nick Saban and John Parker Wilson. With absolutely no intention of watching MLS Saturday night, gearing up for the clash of the year in College Football I ended up watch more MLS than I have in about two months. That's because the Crimson Tide rolled all over Sanford Stadium making more of spectators [. Click to continue reading...

It will also feature a 48 team field with home and away matches plus a more concerted marketing effort, new sponsorship, and will be more widely broadcast in Europe. Click to continue reading...

As I've mentioned on here before, we're going to have a fairly major presence at the KC Irish Fest this weekend. Our 40X40 tent is right next to a major stage and bar area, so there should be a lot of traffic. Come see us throughout the weekend! Listed below is a schedule of events in our tent, including a watch party for our match Saturday night against San Jose, a showing of MU/Illinois before that and a showing of the Rockhurst HS vs Blue Springs South game this weekend on ESPN.

All of the updates will appear on the right hand side of the site, under the Twitter headline. We will be able to update from different tailgating events and even while watching games, so look out world here we come. Click to continue reading...

The Rutgers Football has a new fan and it's no other then Manchester United own Wayne Rooney. Who would have ever thought that the soccer star would be spotted walking around the Manchester area with a Rutgers hat on top of his ginger head (below).
When Greg Schiano took over Rutgers in 2001 little did he know that the "State of Rutgers" would include the greatest soccer team in the world. Click to continue reading...

Watching Russia play is a blast. Rush, rush, rush! All they do is attack and shoot at will. I love that!

Talking Heads: Rece Davis is rock solid as the lead studio host. I think soccer and college football have many similarities; they both have rapid fans, every locality plays it so there are lots of good teams and lots of bad teams, and finally both sports overstate the importance of coaches.

For those who are in school or college, playing football game game is a passionateness and for their household members to be able to purchase college football ticket is something they enjoy. Most pupils play some athletics or the other during their school years and in America, football game is an obvious choice. This athletics looks to have got originated in England then moved to United States when some pupils from Princeton first began playing it in the college field.

Is there para in the 2007 college football game season?

I believe so, given the fact that para intends equality in this case. The old proverb that any squad can beat out any other squad on any given Saturday have got never been more than apparent than this season.

My analysis shows only 10 of the initial AP Top 25 Poll squads have remained in the Top 25 during the first 9 hebdomads of the season.

Most of us reading this blog are MLS fans - at least that's my assumption. Probably, our preoccupation in MLS ranges from a strong interest to an outright passion.

We're getting to the time of year, though, where our zeal will be tested. College football gets underway this weekend.

Now, I won't lie to you and tell you that part of my mind on Saturday won't be at the Coliseum, where USC will kick the crap out of Idaho. Click to continue reading...
