Football

I chose to talk about this weekends football games.  I am a Packers fan for life, I have been since I was little.  I actually used to live right behind Lambeau Field.  So basically I was born and raised a Packer fan. All my family is from Wisconsin and we all love the Packers, but my dad's favorite team is the Rams and my uncle's the Dolphins.  They have always struggled so my family depends on the Packers. 
Last night's game was amazing.  it went back and forth the entire game and was fun to watch.  Yes, the Packers won, but the Vikings should have.  The officials were terrible in the game.  Brett Favre threw the ball to his reciever in the endzone and he caught it going into the endzone, McCarthy challenged the call, and what do you know no touchdown.  It was clearly a touchdown, no one really understands the reasoning for the call. But that was the game saver for the Packers.  The Vikings were down 28-24 with 12 seconds left and a pass into the endzone was called no good and then Favre threw it away and the Packers won.  It was a really exciting game.

Also this weekend, Wisconsin played Iowa at Iowa, and both teams are playing really well right now. It was the same as the Packer game, the game stayed close the entire time. It was 31-30 Wisconsin ahead with 12 seconds left and Iowa had the ball. They took their last time out so the clock had to keep running, they threw a pass completed it but forgot that the clock didn't stop and time ran out and the Badgers won.

On another note, my favorite college team, Ohio State dominated their game winning 49-0 against Purdue.
