Fort Worth (Texas) quarterback T.J. Millweard had thought the recruiting process was over and he was looking at heading east for college. Turns out he wasn't quite sure of his commitment to Virginia Tech and ended up looking west for a college.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound signal caller switched his verbal commitment on Thursday, pledging to Arizona State. His commitment gives the Sun Devils 12 commitments for the class of 2012, the most in the Pac-12.

The Hokies landed a commitment from Christianburg (Va.) quarterback Brenden Motley yesterday as well.

Hillary Clinton's State department provided the United Nations the Justice Department's lawsuit against the state of Arizona's immigration law. It was included in a United Nations human rights report. Clinton said she included the report to serve as an example to other states. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has called this move offensive stating "[t]he idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional." Does Brewer have a point? Should the State Department have linked the illegal alien law to Human Rights Violations?

Through week 11 of the 2011 college football season, the Oregon Ducks find themselves ranked number four in the BCS rankings and one place behind the Alabama Crimson Tide. Both teams have one loss and are contending for a spot in the BCS National Championship. The two both lost to the same opponent, the LSU Tigers.

Heisman Trophy Hopeful, LaMichael James, has been the Oregon Ducks most explosive weapon this season accounting for over 30% of the total offense. James leads the nation in rushing with an average of 170.4 yards per game and is tied in second place for punt returns with an average of 19.33 yards per return. He has already accounted for 1,148 yards and touchdowns. 

• Total Defense: 41; 349.00 yards given up per game
• Rush Defense: ranked 40; 119.67 yards rushing given up per game
• Pass Defense: ranked 75; 229.33 yards passing given up per game
• Scoring Defense: ranked 24; 19.50 points given up per game

Vontaze Burfict is a player the Ducks will need to know where he is located on the field at all times...and I would say AVOID HIM! 

The guy has been a beast so far this season with 29 tackles, 4 sacks, and an interception. The linebacker will be looking to wreck havoc in the Ducks backfield, and is capable of doing so if not accounted for by the offensive line.

There are some really important games this weekend. I think it's hard to say which is the most important.

Number 3 TCU takes on number 5 Utah, which will without a doubt shuffle the Top 5 in the BCS. One team will drop and the other has the potential to climb.

Number 6 Alabama goes to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to play the number 10 LSU Tigers. Baton Rouge is a nasty place to have to go on the road and play. This game has National Title and SEC West Title implications on the line. If Bama wins, they are still in the hunt for both SEC West and the National title games. If they lose, they are out of both. If LSU wins out and the number 2 Auburn Tigers lose to both the Georgia Bulldogs and the number 6 Alabama Crimson Tide, then they could make the SEC championship game and have an outside shot at the BCS championship game.

Number 15 Arizona goes to number 13 Stanford in a game that should separate the contender from the pretender in the PAC 10. Is Arizona a legitimate threat to Oregon? Not if they don't beat Stanford. The Ducks have several PAC 10 games left. A loss to Arizona and a loss to Oregon State, would give Stanford the Conference Title if they are able to win out. If Stanford beats Arizona and Arizona beats Oregon, then the PAC 10 is going to join the ACC, Big East, and SEC East as a sloppy mess. If Stanford loses, then Arizona controls its destiny in the PAC 10.

Number 18 Arkansas goes to Columbia, SC to take on the number 19 South Carolina Gamescocks in a game with SEC East implications. Arkansas is pretty eliminated from the SEC West title. South Carolina, however, is in the thick of the messy SEC East. They are actually in the drivers seat for it, but a loss to Arkansas would end that.

Number 21 Baylor goes on the road to take on number 17 Oklahoma State. Baylor beat Texas, but are they for real or is Texas that bad? Well, we find out this weekend. The Big 12 South is still wide open and the 3 teams (Oklahoma is the 3rd) vying for the South Title have yet to play each other. This is the first game between their top 3. Whoever wins will be in the driver's seat and have to beat Oklahoma to go to the Title game. Also, a loss by Baylor hurts TCU in the BCS. So far Baylor has been there big win and the discussion about Utah is that they shouldn't be #5 in the polls. So TCU would love for Baylor to win the Big 12 South.

All I know is we have a great slate of games for the weekend. What do you think is the biggest and most important?

On Thursday, September 9, 2011 the Arizona Wildcats visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys in week two of the 2011 college football season. Last week, the PAC 12 looked shaky:

At the end of the Dallas Cowboys versus Arizona Cardinals game, Jason Garrett sent his field goal unit out to win the game. Before the ball was snapped, Garrett called a timeout and then the kicker made the field goal. It didn't count, and then the cowboys missed the field goal when they lined back up. Some are saying Garrett iced his own kicker. Watch the video and then answer the question:

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson got pranked by his players on their flight to Kansas City last week: Every one of them was wearing a tie bearing a picture of Gibby taking a bubble bath.

The compromising image was from a 1989 commercial Gibson did for Right Guard, back when he was a Dodger and embracing Hollywood values.

Somebody found it on YouTube, of course. Maybe reliever J.J. Putz, a Michigan Man from Trenton trying to needle his Sparty manager.

"There will be retribution at some point this year," Gibson told Fox Sports Arizona. "I don't aim to get even, but I do aim to get ahead."

Ariz. Gov. Jan Brewer signed an emergency bill Friday allowing the cash-short state to seek a federal waiver to temporarily remove nearly 300,000 people from its Medicaid rolls in the first such request by a state.

If granted by the administration of President Barack Obama, the waiver would let the state scale back coverage to near that of most other states and save $541.5 million, making it the single biggest element in Brewer's plan to eliminate a projected $1.1 billion shortfall in the next state budget.

Brewer said Medicaid's explosive growth is unsustainable and threatens to consume the core functions of state government.

The Arizona House and Senate approved the authorization requested by Brewer on Thursday amid questions about whether the waiver request would be approved by the Obama administration, and if the legislation would survive an anticipated court challenge. ( this was a voter approved addition for medicaid recipients)

Following the game versus Arizona State, Chip Kelly was being interviewed by Erin Andrews. In the middle of the interview, he turns towards loud fans behind him celebrating the win and tell them to "shut up" for disrupting the interview.
