A Big Sports Weekend…
Normally, this time of year, everything starts to wind down, sports wise. But this Thanksgiving weekend, it is packed with sporting events.
Friday night, high school football and we are down to the semi-finals. Area teams like Smyrna, Ravenwood, David Lipscomb, GoodPasture, Pearl-Cohn, Friendship Christian, are all going for state final berths tonight, all over the state. I gotta tell ya, if you have not been to a high school football game this year, tonight and next week, are your last chances to do it. So lot’s of opportunities to do that.
Saturday, it is the biggest football game in MTSU’s history. Sure there have been some mega games in the school’s history, but Saturday’s game against Troy is the biggest. A Sun Belt Conference Title is on the line, a berth to the New Orleans Bowl is always awaiting the Blue Raiders if they can pull it off. 10 years ago, this seemed impossible but you can’t spell that word without possible. Go Blue Raiders on Saturday.
Then Saturday night, the Nashville Predators have a chance to make a huge statement as they take on the Detroit Red Wings at the GEC. The Preds have a 3 point lead over the Red Wings and a win Saturday night would give them a 5 point lead a quarter way thru the year. Let’s go Preds.
Sunday, the surging Tennessee Titans have a chance to make a statement as well when the New York Giants come to town. The Giants are struggling and a win by the Titans would send some serious shockwaves all over the NFL because the Giants are only half a game out of first. It is supposed to be beautiful outside on Sunday as well.
