College Football Hawaii Bowl Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Hawaii Warriors (-1 1/2) Wednesday December 24th (8PM ET) (ESPN)
There is a lot of talk why Notre Dame is in Hawaii for a bowl game on Christmas Eve. Here is the truth. Fighting Irish head coach Charlie Weis is trying to recruit the nations top linebacker prospect that happens to play his high school football in Hawaii. So Notre Dame needs a good effort here and will bring focus to this game. The Notre Dame captains have spoke and of all the bowl games Notre Dame was eligible to play in they are excited about the 6 days they will spend in great weather while the rest of the nation is battling with freezing weather. Notre Dames defense has improved this season. They do a much better job of pursing ball carriers and tackling than last years squad. Hawaii does not possess the explosive offense we saw with last years Sugar Bowl team. QB Colt Brennan and 4 of their wide receivers from last years squad ran out of eligibility. The Warriors lost 3 games to defensive minded teams in Cincinnati and San Jose St at home and Oregon St on the road. An awful loss was a 34-7 defeat at Utah St. Take the best defense in this game and that belongs with the Fighting Irish who will be poised to finish the year at 7-6. Take Notre Dame +1 1/2.

Selection: Notre Dame +1 1/2

College Football BYU Cougers at Utah Utes (-7.5) (6PM ET) (The Mountain)

TCU played Utah a few weeks back and lost in the closing seconds at Utah . TCU had great field position most of the game and their kicking game failed them along with quarterback Andy Dalton. Senior quarterback Max Hall will be the difference in this game to keep the Cougars within a touchdown of Utah. Hall is hitting on over 70% of his passes for nearly 9 yards per completion. Also BYU has an accurate kicker who has made his last 6. BYU has some beef in their backfield with Unga and Vakapuna who are tough to bring down and fight very hard for yardage. BYUs offensive line sports 4 seniors who are facing an undersized Utah defensive line, which helps supports our cause for the underdog in this rivalry game. Take the points here. Take BYU +7 ½.

Selection: BYU +7.5

Duration : 0:1:45

Gorilla kidnapped..$500 Reward for the safe return of the Gorilla and information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Kidnappers. …..UPDATE…Case solved missing Gorilla was found in Swanton VT. Thanks for your help Amercia and speical thanks to You Tube, without them we could of never solved this case!!!!……………………………………………………………………………………..

EAST MACHIAS — A giant gorilla was kidnapped in broad daylight Sunday from in front of Sandy’s Sales on Route 1.

No ransom demand had come from the kidnappers as of Tuesday, but the Maine State Police are investigating and have put out an all-points bulletin on the primate — an 8-foot mechanical ape.

The gorilla has been a favorite local attraction at the year-round flea market store, and owner Lowell Miller, 79, wants it back, no questions asked.

It was last seen standing with its hand on the sign in front of Sandy’s Sales. Miller did not know it was missing until he started to close up on Sunday. He thought his clerk had wheeled it inside, and the clerk thought Miller had.

“None of us saw him take it,” Miller said Tuesday.

Miller was surprised the gorilla was missing because of its weight.

“That had a platform in the bottom made out of cement. I had to wheel it out with the wheels on it. Then inside it had motors in it, and you plugged it in and the arms went up and down and it turned sideways,” he said.

“Who the would ever steal a gorilla as heavy as that thing was?” Miller said Tuesday.

Miller believes the gorilla may be hiding in a teenager’s bedroom, and police suspect it may be holed up in some college students’ apartment.

“I don’t know if it is exactly at the college,” Sgt. Jeff Ingemi of the Maine State Police said Tuesday. “I think that it is more likely at a college apartment.”

Miller said he has owned the gorilla for about 10 years. He said it was valued at around $1,500.

Miller’s gorilla is a rubbernecker’s delight as motorists pass by the store.

“It is noticeable,” Miller said. “How many people have a gorilla outside?”

This is not the first time the gorilla has run into trouble, but it’s the first time it has turned up missing.

One time, Miller said, a customer ran into it in the store’s parking lot.

“He went downtown drinking and telling everybody, ‘Hey, I just ran over Sandy’s monkey,’” Miller said.

It cost Miller $75 to have the gorilla repaired that time.

Miller said he wasn’t interested in having anyone arrested, he just wants his mechanical primate to come home.

Anyone with information may call the Maine State Police at 800-432-7381.

College Football Oregon St Beavers at Utah Utes (-12 ½) (9PM ET) (Versus)

Oregon St is coming off a huge upset against USC last week. The Beavers began the season with 2 losses and then showed improvement on the defensive end and offensive line against Hawaii and USC. There may be some emotional let down here but 12 ½ points is way too many to give the Beavers. Oregon St will have the speed advantage and their front 7 as seen last week has improved giving up just 86 yards on the ground against the Trojans. This is a quick turnaround for the Utes having played on Saturday and wheeling back here for a Thursday night game. This game comes down to the Beavers quickness and the fact they are now executing at a level Mike Riley teams are accustomed to at Oregon St. The Beavers offensive line is jelling and will open up holes for Jacquizz Rodgers. Thats the key to keep the chains moving at Utah and the Beavers offensive line will help keep the Utes off the field. No knock on Utah they are a quality team but Oregon St will stay competitive with them. Play Oregon St +12 ½.

Selection: Oregon St +12 1/2

Duration : 0:2:0
