My Two Cents

1. Madden 2012 is exceptional

I know I'm a bit behind the times, but dayum – this game is remarkable. I finally got a chance to play my first match last night, and though my Saints blew the game in the fourth quarter on a Drew Brees interception (like that ever happens in reality) and Aaron Rodgers and his Packers capitalized, I'm still in love with the game. Definitely buy or rent the game if you get the opportunity.

2. Get into the UB soccer teams

Ainsley Wheldon – remember the name. She's UB's goalkeeper and currently the second-best in the nation. The women's soccer team hasn't lost in three games and the Bulls have been competing against some of the MAC's best teams – including perennial conference power Central Michigan.

Not to be outdone, the men's soccer team defeated the 18th-best school in the country (Northern Illinois) over the weekend.

When the soccer teams at your school are scoring as much as the football team, it might be time for you to get to a soccer match.
