Witness Legendary Battles with Orange Bowl Tickets

Orange Bowl tickets offer football fans and travelers several options. Not only is the Orange Bowl one of the premier college bowl games every January, but the game itself is located in one of the most exotic travel destinations in the United States – Miami and South Florida. Fans and families alike have worked their vacation and/or travel plans around this game, and a look at its history and other attractions will explain why the Orange Bowl is always worth the effort to see.

Game History

The first Orange Bowl was played in 1935, when Bucknell defeated Miami 26-0. For 33 years, the Orange Bowl was basically an “at-large” bowl game, in that the bowl committee chose the best two teams it could attract. However, the Orange Bowl started its history of tie-ins in 1968 when it began to host the champion of the former Big 8 Conference every season.

This tie-in remained in place until the late-1990′s, when two things happened that change the

2010 College Football: Miami Hurricanes 25-1 Odds to win BCS

Online sportsbooks have opened with the Miami Hurricanes as 25-1 in odds to win the BCS championship for the 2010 college football season. The Hurricanes will be fielding their most talented team in at least five years and are coming off a 9-4 college football betting season last year that ended with a 14-20 Champs Sports Bowl loss to Wisconsin. Miami has long been a national/public team with a reputation that has far out exceeded their actual ability in recent years and they have been one of the worst betting values on the board as a result. With all of that public money, Miami has had just one profitable season in college football picks for the last nine and has not been in the black for the past five consecutive years.

With predictions and expectations extra high this year and as the favorites to win the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Hurricanes may again be in the red even if they have a great straight up season in college football betting

College Football Wrap-Up Week 1 – BYU, Boise State, Alabama & Oklahoma State Are Huge Winners

(Editor’s Note: All of the team rankings for this opening article are based on the Top 25 Preseason Coaches’ Poll, and the Sagarin Ratings, Jeff Sagarin’s factual, mathematical ratings among competition between all 245 Division 1 teams.)

Brigham Young, Boise State, Alabama and Oklahoma State were college football’s biggest winners in the opening week of the NCAA season.

No. 20-ranked Brigham Young (BYU) used a late 4th quarter touchdown to upset No. 3-ranked Oklahoma, 14-13, and all but obliterated Oklahoma’s hopes for a dream season. The Sooners, who lost to Florida 24-14 in last year’s National Championship Game, returned the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner—quarterback Sam Bradford.

Bradford strained his throwing shoulder in the closing seconds of the first half on a hard, clean, highlight-reel hit by BYU linebacker Coleby Clawson; Bradford watched the second half from the sidelines. Bradford’s backup, Landry Jones,

Duke Blue Devils College Football Tickets Available

The Duke Blue Devils college football team has long been a source of pride for the athletics division, as well as for the students of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Though Duke?s football team was first set up back in 1895, it was only formally established after World War I, when Duke?s Board of Trustees voted to lift the 25-year ban on football in the campus. Since then, the Duke Blue Devils has been making its presence strongly felt in the collegiate football scene. In fact, Duke?s football program has been consistently cited over the years as one of the most successful of all college football programs. It has also been cited for 12 years as one of the top-ranking schools which graduate nearly all of their football players, an achievement Duke is also proud to have for its players in the other sports.

The Blue Devils have been playing at the Wallace Wade Stadium in the Duke University campus since 1929. Once known as the Duke Stadium, it was

The NBA Needs To Change It’s Playoff Format…Now

One great thing about the NBA and commissioner David Stern is that they fix mistakes with their game. Case in point – in 2003 the NBA switched the first round of the playoffs from a best-of-five game series to a best-of-seven to help ensure that the better team advances. That’s why it’s mind boggling to wonder why they won’t change the playoff format to account for debacles like this season.

If a non-sports fan took a quick check at the 2006 Western Conference Standings and then the Playoff bracket, they would scratch their heads in disbelief. The Dallas Mavericks had the second best record in the conference at 60-22, three games behind conference leading San Antonio. The Denver Nuggets were 44-38, 19 games behind San Antonio. Yet, come playoff time the Nuggets were the #3 seed while the Mavericks were the #4 seed. All because Dallas happens to play in the same division as San Antonio and the top three seeds HAVE TO be division winners. So now Dallas and

Virginia Tech Hokies Vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons!

Jim Grobe’s Demon Deacons are as the proverbial saying goes when a team is winning, “living the dream”. They are 9-1 in the talented ACC and are coming off a shocking 30-0 win over the Florida State Seminoles at. Tallahassee. This Saturday they host Frank Beamer’s Virginia Tech Hokies and the visitors have been installed as -2 point favorites at America’s most popular online sportsbook, www.sportsbook.com.

The Numbers Don’t Lie!

Wake Forest is 6-3 this season against the spread, but it should be noted a perfect 6-0 against the number when they are placed in the underdog role. The Deacons were the first team to shut out the Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium since 1973, three seasons before Coach Bobby Bowden became FSU’s head coach.

They were also the first team to beat FSU here by at least 30 points since 1981, when the Seminoles lost to Southern Miss 58-14. FSU had played 232 consecutive games without being shut

BCS Predictions: 2010 Boston College Golden Eagles

The 2010 Boston College Golden Eagles do not get a lot of respect as a national power in college football predictions but should be in the thick of the Atlantic Coast Conference race as usual and finish in a bowl game. Last year in head coach Frank Spaziani’s rookie season on the job the Eagles finished a respectable 8-5 straight up and 6-6 against the college football betting spread with an Emerald Bowl loss to the USC Trojans. Online sportsbooks have the 2010 Boston College Golden Eagles at 120-1 to win the Championship in 2011 BCS odds, 9-1 to win the ACC conference championship and an over/under regular season win total of 7.5 OVER (-130).

Boston College will return a good amount of starters with 8 on offense and 6 on defense led by sophomore quarterback Dave Shinskie, who threw for 2,049 yards and a 15/15 TD/INT ratio last year. Just as important in terms of handicapping college football odds, is the return of junior running back Montel

Texas Advances to the Sweet 16

The Texas Longhorns beat the Miami Hurricanes and moved into the Sweet 16 as they led by 17 points remaining only four minutes in the second half of the game. But a game that might be an easy one for Texas rapidly bowed into a close one when the Miami Hurricanes’ 19-4 lope cut Texas lead into only two points.

The player AJ Abrams was fouled and went to the line where he peacefully dropped both free throws to place the Texas Longhorns up by five points. Miami approached down and Jack McClinton hit a three-pointer to cut the lead to 74-72. McClinton had a great performance in the last game against St. Mary’s were he scored 38 points and in this game, he finished with 18 points.

In addition the Longhorns then inbounded the ball to DJ Augustin, who was instantly fouled and went to the line to shoot the two free throws. Augustin was not even closer to make the first one but he dropped the second one to give Texas a three point lead
