TRIVIA OF THE DAY

THE MORNING BREW Johnny Manziel deserves to contend for Heisman Trophy
They call him "Johny Football". He leads a top 10 team in the Southeastern Conference. He makes plays that are only seen in video games. He's only a freshman. Texas A&M quarterback Johnman Manziel is quickly making a name for himself. Outside of his eye-popping numbers, Manziel has been able to find a way to get the job done. Whether it's with his arm or his legs, he has captured the nation's attention, especially after knocking off previous number one ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
One play against the Crimson Tide serves as a microcosm for just what "Johnny Football" has been so far this year. On third and goal from the 10-yard line, Manziel dropped back to pass against the Alabama defense. With the pocket collapsing, the ball was popped up into the air out of Manziel's hands. Calmly, Manziel tracked down the ball, rolled to his left, and found a wide-open receiver for a touchdown.
It almost seemed like an early sign that the Aggies would defeat the Crimson Tide. There was a different feeling to that game. That's what "Johnny Football" provides.
Manziel is one of the most watchable
players in college football. He makes instinctual plays that others simply cannot make, and he's done it against the highest level of competition. He has the 'it' factor, the poise and playmaking ability. And again I remind you, he's just a freshman.
Make sure to tune in the next time Texas A&M plays. You may be watching a future Heisman Trophy winner.
BCS SHAKE-UP ON THE HORIZON
The BCS National Championship picture could get interesting.
With just two weeks left in the regular season, the remaining undefeated teams -
Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame - face a tough road to the title game.
Number one ranked Kansas State may have the easiest track to playing for a BCS Championship. The Wildcats play a road game at Baylor, and finish the season at home against Texas. It's hard to think the most disciplined and well-coached team in college football would slip up with a title on the line. Coach Snyder's boys will be ready to go in each contest, and will also benefit from not having a conference championship game to play.
Second-ranked Oregon faces two ranked teams in the final weeks and would face another ranked opponent, either UCLA or USC, in their conference title game. While the Ducks have proved they can handle the highest competition, they have no simple task ahead of them.
Notre Dame has played superbly on defense and well on offense to maintain its unblemished record. The Fighting Irish could also benefit from not having a conference championship game, but still have to go on the road against USC to end the season. Notre Dame appears to be on the outside looking in, and would need some
help to sneak into the BCS National Championship game.
Regardless of the outcome, any combination of the three would provide for an entertaining matchup. Oregon boasts the number one offense while Notre Dame has the number one defense, each based on points per game. Kansas State is top 15 in both categories and leads the nation in turnover differential.

Rose and Hanson win Tyco Golf Skills Challenge
Rose and Hanson, teammates on
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Justin Rose of Britain and Peter Hanson of Sweden won the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge at the Breakers on Monday.
this year's Ryder Cup-winning European team, beat recent U.S. Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley in the Reverse Scramble finale on a breezy day to secure the title.
Ryder Cup feel during the final event. "The only Ryder Cup element would be a teasing one, maybe a gentle joke or something like that."
"it crosses your mind a little bit," Rose said when asked if there was any
The Reverse Scramble went to two tee-offs before being decided in a chip-off. Hanson chipped to within 2 feet, 10
inches of the hole, beating out Bradley's chip that was 3 feet. 6 inches away.
"The biggest skill today was survival," Rose said. "The weather was kind of tough."
The other teams that took part in the event were Zach Johnson and Kyle
Stanley, and Mark O'Meara and Mark Calcavecchia. The six skills were: long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot, and short iron.
Hanson and Rose, making their inaugural appearance at this event, only won one of the six skills: the bunker shot.
They earned $285,000 in the made-for- TV event that will air on NBC on Dec. 29 and 30. Johnson and Bradley won $223,000 for taking second place.
