Will Hillman Be Able to Be Contained? Preview of R+L Carriers Bowl
Dec 15th
The Louisiana Superdome comes alive on December 17th when the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl starts. The San Diego State Aztecs take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns in a battle for the championship. The Aztecs come into play with an 8-4 record and a 4-3 record in their MWC. The Aztecs average 29.8 points per game on offense and 24.4 points per game on defense.
The Aztecs are headed up by senior QB Ryan Lindley (2,740 yards – 52.5 completion pct – 20 td’s / 8 int – 122.9 rating). The running game is in competent hands with star sophomore running back Ronnie Hillman (287 carries – 1,656 yards – 19 td’s). Hillman had a 99-yard touchdown run in a game against Wyoming on October 29th. Hillman reminds many of previous Aztecs phenom and newest NFL Hall Of Famer Marshall Faulk who also ran all over the field against opposing teams in the early 1990′s.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defense will have their hands full in attempting to slow down Ronnie Hillman on the ground. Both defenses will definitely get a workout in this shootout of two impressive squads. The two-way threat of Gautier versus the ground game of Hillman will be on display. Both teams will work to put a lot of points on the board in this classic.

In the first game, Paul scored 33 points and had 14 assists, which led to the Lakers dropping that first game.
Hawks Travel to LA to Take on the Lakers
Feb 22nd
After his strong showing in the NBA All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant is looking ahead to the rest of the basketball season, starting with the game against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks will take on the LA Lakers at the Staples Center Tuesday night, and will give the LA team their first chance to recover from an embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers before the All-Star break.
Kobe was named the All-Star Game MVP after putting up 37 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. He lead the Western Conference team to a 148-143 victory over the East. Bryant also received the loudest, most sustained applause from the crowd during the pregame introductions, but what else could you expect from Kobe’s hometown fans? This will probably be Bryant’s last All-Star Game played in Los Angeles.
This Christmas, the 49ers Take on the Rams
Dec 28th
In a struggle of the National Football Conference West, we have the third place 49ers, who have a record of 5-9-0 going into the Holiday weekend, traveling to St. Louis this Sunday, the day after Christmas to face their division rivals, and the squad to beat in the National Football Conference West, the Rams.
Presently holding court at the top of the division, the St Louis Rams go into the Holiday weekend with a 6-8-0 record. The 49ers are in somewhat of a panic as they’re coming into that point of the year where it is make it or break it. If Seattle and St. Louis both win this weekend, the 49ers’ slim playoff hopes are officially gone. This year has been a mess for the 49ers versus the nfl odds but there’s a real chance they’re going to win the National Football Conference West. They have to win at St. Louis and beat Arizona next week and then just need Seattle to lose one of their remaining two games. The Seahawks are awful so they most likely will lose at least one game if not both in Football Gambling Lines It’s profitable their own games that are the problem for the 49ers. They are not even sure about this week’s starting quarterback. That’s due to the fact the Seahawks and St Louis Rams encounter off in the final game of the year in Seattle – which means one of them would wind up with 8 victories and the division title in the awful National Football Conference West. Even if San Francisco (5-9) victories at St. Louis next Sunday and home versus the Cardinals on Jan. 2, it may well not be enough. The 49ers need support. There has been lots of supposition that 49ers owner John York and his squad president son, Jed, will be hunting for a new head coach come January. Coach Mike Singletary still has two years left on his deal.
The St Louis Rams are having trouble preparing for this weekend’s game however, as the are unsure which Qb to prep for. The 49ers have not indicated which quarterback they’re going to start on Sunday. Whilst head coach Mike Singletary said in a press conference that he was unsure of who he was going with, it is possible to be sure that this is entirely untrue. The 49ers have a long week to prepare for the St Louis Rams, as they competed a Thursday game. This means that the coaching staff has had since Friday to prepare. The tape has been evaluated and the 49ers most likely know sometime on Saturday who they were going with. The problem is that Troy Smith and Alex Smith are two pretty different athletes. Both QB’s are fantastic with the throw on the run, but their two different styles make it hard for the St Louis Rams to be prepared this coming weekend until the announcement is made.
