Oklahoma State vs. Texas
Top-ranked Texas has won 10 straight games against OSU and have staged some incredible comeback victories during this streak. In 2004, Oklahoma State led 35-7 before surrendering 49 straight points to the Longhorns. In 2005, Texas trailed 28-9 late in the third quarter, only to rally and win. Last year, the Longhorns came back from a 35-14 deficit late in the fourth quarter to win on a field goal as time expired. This season, the Cowboys are 7-0 and are in the top 10 for the first time since 1988, but are they mature enough to finish a game against Texas? Regional coverage begins at 3:30 PM ET Saturday on ABC.
Penn State vs. Ohio State
A win on Saturday night could put Penn State in prime position to finish the season undefeated and earn no worse than their first Rose Bowl berth since the 1994 season. The best matchup on the field could be between the Nittany Lions offensive line vs. the Buckeyes defensive front. Penn State is the No. 1 rushing offense (235 yards per game) in the Big Ten, while Ohio State has the No. 1 rushing defense (97 yards per game) in the conference. And the Nittany Lions are trying to win in Columbus for the first time since 1978. Let the pushing and shoving begin. National coverage begins at 8:00 PM ET Saturday on ABC.

The World Series
The World Series could become the wet series this weekend when it shifts to Philadelphia. The National Weather Service latest forecast predicts a 90 percent chance of rain on Saturday. Major League Baseball officials acknowledged that Philadelphia is going to get rain, but the main question for them is how long? Game Three is Saturday at 8 PM ET and Game Four is on Sunday at 8 PM ET; all World Series games are on Fox.
New York Giants vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
They first met as rookies in 2004, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger have led their teams to Super Bowl victories and both appear to be in good shape for another title run this season. Roethlisberger developed faster at the quarterback position and led the Steelers to three straight road wins en route to a Super Bowl title in 2005. Two seasons later, Manning did the same, guiding the Giants to three road playoff wins before defeating the previous undefeated New England Patriots in the Super Bowl last season. Manning’s New York Giants travel to Heinz Field to take on Big Ben’s Pittsburgh Steelers in a rare matchup of 5-1 teams this Sunday. Coverage begins at 4:15 PM ET on Fox.
Hey – Stacy Keibler used to be a wrestler, and that’s sort of a sport, right? I’m sure if you asked Triple H, he would say it’s a sport.
So I’m sure our readers are dying to know what the former WWE Diva and “Dancing With the Stars” third-place finisher is doing these days. Well, I don’t know what she’s doing, but I do know that she (and her 42″ legs) posed for Maxim this month. Here’s a pic from the layout, which can be viewed in its entirety here.
This new “news” gives me an excuse to link to my favorite Stacy Keibler photo shoot – the one she did for Stuff, which was shot before she was trying to become a serious actress, so she didn’t mind if the photographer……..um……….focused on her………..um………derrier.
Anyone who can arch their back like that has to be athletic, right?

Reggie Love was a two-sport player (football and basketball) at Duke, but now he’s Barack Obama’s personal assistant, a.k.a. “bodyman.” ESPN’s E:60 produced an interesting 12-minute feature on Love.
Life is good if Brad Pitt is rumored to be playing you in a major motion picture. Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane must be smiling today as the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that a project is “being developed” for Pitt to play him in a movie based on “Moneyball,” a book depicting Beane’s method of running the A’s in the 2002 season.
Humorously, Beane commented on similarities between Pitt and himself:
“I think it has really come down to the common denominator that we both have twins,” said Beane, whose wife, Tara, gave birth to a boy and girl in January.
The rights to the best-selling book were purchased by Columbia Pictures in 2004. Oscar award-winning actor Robert Duvall is under consideration to play Art Howe, who was the A’s manager at that time.
