Pirate Galaxy » and Akrum Wadley -- to move

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer was a little late to the office, but at least there was a television in the maternity ward at Riverside Hospital.After struggling to get to sleep with Ohio States playoff hopes hanging in the balance and his oldest daughter, Nicki, in the hospital about to make him a grandfather for the first time, Meyer had an early start Sunday, but he didnt make his way to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center until after learning where the No. 3 Buckeyes were heading.I watched the selection show from the maternity ward at Riverside Hospital, Meyer said. Thats a first. And we kind of knew it was coming. It was about two weeks early, but we kind of knew things were moving quickly. Sure enough, we got the phone call yesterday.All of a sudden, you go to sleep and shes in the hospital because things started moving, and then [wife] Shelley, I was out and she left a note for me. I popped up at 5:30, got the text message that the baby was born, grabbed my son Nate to go down there. Got there at 6:30, and we hung out with them.Shortly after noon, Meyer found a television to watch the announcement of the College Football Playoff bracket, which included the Buckeyes becoming the first team not to win a conference championship to make the four-team field.Ohio State will face Clemson in the?PlayStation Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31 in Glendale, Arizona.With that information in tow along with his new role as a grandfather to Troy -- 7 pounds, 1 ounce -- Meyer strolled into the facility just before 1 p.m. with a wide smile on his face.Very emotional, Meyer said. Its my little girl, and Im so proud of her, so proud of the dad. Theyre going to be [great]. Gods blessed them, and now its an incredible responsibility.Meyer also dealt with an illness of his own last week during a busy stretch of recruiting, but he is healthy now and all clear to jump back into his professional responsibilities.A matchup with the Tigers looms, but Meyer is riding high after one of the most interesting, satisfying days of his career.Its been incredible, Meyer said. And everybody is good.Adam Lallana Liverpool Jersey . PAUL, Minn. Caoimhin Kelleher Jersey . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season. http://www.liverpoolgear.us/Authentic-Jordan-Henderson-Liverpool-Jersey/ . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Liverpool Jersey . The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season. Simon Mignolet Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.No. 10 Wisconsins challenging October continues Saturday with a road game against archrival Iowa.The Badgers lost their past two games, both by a touchdown, to then-No. 4 Michigan and to No. 2 Ohio State in overtime, with a bye week sandwiched between those games.Wisconsin (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) desperately needs a win to remain in the Big Ten West race. A loss potentially would put the Badgers three games behind front-running Nebraska, which plays host to lowly Purdue this week.After facing Iowa (5-2, 3-1), Wisconsin returns home the following week for a showdown with No. 8 Nebraska. But first the Badgers must get past the Hawkeyes on Saturday (noon ET, ESPN) in Kinnick Stadium.Its going to be a fun and intense rivalry game, and I cant wait, Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn Shelton said.Playing this game on the road isnt necessarily a bad thing for Wisconsin. Strangely, the road team has fared well the past few years.The Badgers won on each of their past three visits to Iowa City in the evenly matched series (Wisconsin leads 44-43-2) but lost in Madison a year ago.The Heartland Trophy game between Iowa and Wisconsin is always hard-hitting and usually highly competitive. Last fall, Iowa came away with a 10-6 road win that propelled the Hawkeyes to the Big Ten championship game.Going a whole year with an empty trophy case, (without) seeing it in the locker room every day, it kind of makes you angry a little bit, Wisconsin redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook said. Especially after that game when it wasnt sitting there in the locker room.Thats definitely something that we want back, and well be doing everything we can to get it back.Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst doesnt spent much time thinking about the history between the teams.Those of us who were a part of it last year, we understand what happened, and yet none that carries over, carries forward, he said. Weve got a ton of respect for Iowa, and I do certainly for their program, but its about this Saturday, whos the best team.Chryst is more concerned about bouncing back from last weeks home loss to Ohio State and getting his team healthy. Wisconsin led 16-6 at halftime but couldnt close the deal.The Badgers came out of that game banged up. A long list of players are questionable on this weeks injury report, including linebacker Vince Biegel, nose tackle Olive Sagapolu, wide receiver Robert Wheelwright, linebacker Zack Baun, offensive lineman Jon Dietzen, running back Taiwan Deal and safety Keelon Brookins.Wisconsin enters the game as a slight favorite over Iowa, which rebounded from stunningg home losses to North Dakota State and Northwestern by recording consecutive road wins.ddddddddddddThe Hawkeyes latest victories came against Minnesota and Purdue, though, and so it is difficult to gauge just how much Iowa improved the past two weeks. But it certainly will find out more this week.All of us are really feeling better than we did a couple of weeks ago, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. That was really a tough defeat (against Northwestern), but I think the guys really learned from it, and the last two weeks weve played better football with more intensity. Weve done some things that are paramount to winning.After Iowa won a 14-7 slugfest at Minnesota two weeks ago, the Hawkeyes looked good last Saturday. Iowa beat Purdue 49-35 in West Lafayette, Ind., resulting in the firing of Boilermakers coach Darrell Hazell on Sunday.The Hawkeyes bolted to a 35-7 lead and began substituting freely in the second half, allowing Purdue to make the score respectable.Two areas of concern that Iowa appeared to address are its rushing offense and its run defense. The Hawkeyes ran for an impressive 365 yards against Purdue and held the Boilermakers to 47 yards on the ground.Those ground yards will be much tougher to come by against the Badgers, whose defense gave Ohio State some problems, particularly in the first half.The key to Saturdays game for Iowa could be its ability to effectively use its two backs -- LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley -- to move the ball against the Wisconsin defense and help loosen up the defense for quarterback C.J. Beathard, who has 11 touchdown passes and four interceptions this season but could be without one of his favorite targets, injured tight end George Kittle.Wadley rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown, and Daniels amassed 150 yards and two touchdowns against Purdue.Theyre both playing the best football of their careers, Ferentz said. The two of them have really complemented each other. Its been a good combination.On defense, Iowa will be trying to slow down Wisconsin running back Corey Clement, who rushed for 164 yards against Ohio State, and Hornibrook. Clement leads the team with 483 rushing yards.No question well have to be at our best against No. 10-ranked team in the country coming in, Ferentz said. Itll be a great environment. The big thing for us right now there is no tomorrow. Well put all we can into this game. Were going to have to. Were playing a really outstanding opponent. ' ' '
