IF YOU ARE NOT A SPORTS FAN, skip todays blog.  It's sports, sports and more sports.

FIRST IT'S THE NIGHTMARE IN Detroit.  The Kent State Golden Flashes football team lost in DOUBLE OVERTIME to Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship.  A win would have probably put KSU in the Orange Bowl.  The loss has them going to the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, Alabama on January 6.  Did I mention they will play Arkansas State?  Ho hum.  By the way, rumors are flying all over college football that KSU coach Darrell Hazell is one of the top picks among schools looking for a new coach.  Cal is supposedly interviewing Hazell today, and with many other openings in big time college ball, it will be a miracle if Hazell opens next year as coach at KSU.

BREAK UP THE BROWNS!!!!  Your Cleveland Browns beat the Oakland Raiders yesterday for their first win on the road in 13 games.  The win was also their second in a row (that would be their first 2 game winning streak since September 2011).  Get your Super Bowl tickets NOW!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FIGHTING Irish at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.  Dan Boarmans' team beat Bellevue for the Division 3 State Championship Saturday in Canton.  The Irish had not won a championship since the late 1980's.
