Not quite the first half you expected, was it? Three interceptions, two red zone stops, 14 total points. I’m sure all of those people who put big money on the over on this one are sweating right now. Oklahoma should be ahead at least 13-7, but the Florida defense stood tall inside the 10 twice, first stopping Oklahoma on fourth and goal after Tebow’s second interception gave the Sooners the ball deep in Florida territory, then working the tip drill to optimal effect by picking off Sam BradforWhy Is My Credit Score So Important?

The phenomenal speed at which the government spends money these days on various bailout programs leaves the short-term memory a little muddled. For example: the auto industry got its loan; GMAC gained membership to the U.S. commercial banking system; GMAC secured $6 billion in TARP funding; the Treasury is now in over its $350 billion head.

The Answer to Everyone's question: Probably, but it's definitely a level playing field this time. In 2008, Ohio State backed into the title game, getting there only due to mammoth upsets in late November and early December.

I don't feel much like writing a full review for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Can you blame me? While overall it finished on the "enjoyable" side of the fence, it's been my "most looked forward to" film for the past two years. Considering that what we ended up getting was (yep, as you've read and/or said 15 times by now) a post-millennial Forrest Gump/updated version of Big Fish...I'd say it's the biggest disappointment of the year.
