Missed 2 point : 32 seconds is left on the clock and Michigan just scored a touchdown to make the score 42-41 Ohio State. Instead of going for the exta point, tied the game and go into overtime. Brady Hoke decides to go for two. I love the move (not because I'm a Buc eye fan) cause Michigan was the home team, had the visiting third ranked team on the ropes, why not go for the kill. There was no other way to stick it to your most hated rival then end their national title hopes then to succeed on a 2 point conversion to, too bad it failed.
0.01: One second is all that was between Alabama and Auburn playing into overtime and maybe Alabama still being ranked number one in the BCS on. But instead of taking a knee and playing the extra time, Nick Saban decide to send a freshman place kicker out there to attempt a 47 yard field goal. Not a smart move on Saban's part unlike the Hoke decision, Saban was trying a risky play with a very slim chance for success and a large disaster rate. Cause of his cockiness he cost his team a chance at a three-peat and in my opinion his legacy took a hit, even if it is a slight one.
Happy Coaches: Texas A&M decided to give Ken Sumlin a 6 year extension. Not really sure how I feel about this. Sumlin first two years on the job has been a great one, but I would have like to see what he does after he loses the most exciting player in college football (Jonny Manziel) before they gave him a extension. I believe the only reason they gave him a extension is to keep him in College Park, especially with USC talk and how they was pursuing Ken Sumlin. Speaking of the USC job with Ken Sumlin off the market, they ended their search by signing Steve Sarkisan former coach of Washington University. Sarkisan to me was a bad choice, I understand he was a assistant at USC for seven years and has ties to the University. But I would have went a different direction, Sarkisan return Washington to respectability but they was never a top contender in the Pac-12. Taking the USC job means he will be ask to return USC back to where they once was when Pete Carroll was roaming the sidelines, I'm not sure if he is that coach. Could be that the coaches on their list all bailed on them, but I'm pretty sure there was better candidates then him.
$153 million for Ellsbury: Barring a physical the New York Yankees has just signed 30 year center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to a 7 year $153 million contract. Don't like this move for the Yankees. Ellsbury is a very good center fielder, but have become injury prone and it has effected his ability to stay on the field during the long baseball season. Ellsbury is not a homerun hitter, hitting double digit homeruns once in his career. Not sure if the Yankees are changing their on field philosophy, but they are known as the Bronx Bombers and can't have that nickname with a roster of players who don't hit homeruns. Another reason I don't like this move is the $153 million they just gave to Ellsbury, brings up the question will this effect the Yankees from signing Robinson Cano back. For the Yankees I doubt it, but you never know with these baseball players and their contracts
