LSU football team is wary of Alabama running back Eddie Lacy
The game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama doesn't fall short on monikers describing its magnitude -- "The Clash of the Titans," "Armageddon," and "Game of the Century" have all been used. But for Alabama sophomore running back Eddie Lacy, the game means even more. It could simply be called, "homecoming."
Lacy starred at Dutchtown High School in Geismar, playing on the same team as LSU sophomore safety Eric Reid. In his final three seasons at Dutchtown, Lacy had 4,053 rushing yards and 62 touchdowns, despite playing in only seven games in his senior season because of injuries.

Daylight Savings Time 2011 Ends: Prepare To Turn Back The Clocks
November 6 is officially the greatest day of the year because as Daylight Saving Time ends, we actually gain an hour -- and who doesn't need more time?
Yes, the days are getting shorter and you're probably waking up in darkness (and making your commute in it as well) -- but we gain an hour of sleep on Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6 and Standard Time begins.
If it feels like we've been setting the clocks back later in the year than we used to, it's because we are.
When the U.S. Energy Policy Act went into effect in 2007, extended DST began. This meant we started turning our clocks back the first Sunday in November, rather than the last Sunday in October. Come springtime we'll also set the clocks ahead on the second Sunday in March, instead of the first Sunday in April.

Joe Frazier, former heavyweight champion, is in last stages of liver cancer
Former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier is in a fight for his life, battling the final stages of liver cancer, according to published reports.
Leslie Wolff, Frazier’s manager, told CNN that the 67-year-old is in a Philadelphia hospice in the final stages of liver cancer that was discovered “four or five weeks ago.”
Promoter Don King, who matched Frazier against Muhammad Ali in “The Thrilla in Manila” in the Philippines on Oct. 1, 1975, learned of Frazier’s grave condition on Saturday morning and planned on honoring him before a cruiserweight title match between Guillermo Jones and Mike Marrone in Hollywood, Fla., that he was promoting on Saturday night.
