WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats have vastly different jobs now that the regular CFL season is done. Kirk Gibson Tigers Jersey . The Tiger-Cats (10-8) are preparing for a playoff push after a commanding 37-7 whipping of the Bombers Saturday afternoon. "Ill be shocked if were not ready to play," coach Kent Austin said after the Ticats overcame a slow start to completely dominate the final three quarters. They have home-field advantage in the Eastern semifinal against the Montreal Alouettes. "Any type of confidence you can get, you need it, and were a confident group right now," said quarterback Henry Burris. "But we know its going to take a lot of hard preparation to get in focus for us to go out and win that game next week." Burris completed 17 of 24 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns before Austin let him rest late in the game. He also didnt throw any interceptions, one of his weak stats this season. "He seemed like he completed a bunch of footballs," said Austin. "I dont know what his stats were but he made great reads, delivered the football, threw a couple of touchdown passes, (Im) really pleased with the way he played." Burris threw both touchdown strikes to Onrea Jones. Chevon Walker and C.O. Prime ran for two more and the Ticats picked up nine points on field goals. After managing just two field goals and a single, the Bombers (3-15) need to build a team prior to 2014, starting with a quarterback. Max Hall, at best third on the Bomber depth chart at the start of 2013, was left as their starter as the season ground to a close. Saturdays disaster, with fumbles, blocked throws and defensive miscues, while a disappointing end, wasnt much of a surprise to anyone. "Thats kind of the way this seasons gone," said coach Tim Burke, the last survivor of the trio that led the Bombers into this season. General manager Joe Mack and president Garth Buchko have already paid with their jobs. Burkes future is, at best, uncertain. "Were playing the cards were dealt," said defensive back Brandon Stewart. "We had a bad season. Theres no sugar coating it. Weve just got to come work in the off-season and see where it goes from there." What that off-season holds is anyones guess, although there is hope Winnipeg will score a starting quarterback with the Ottawa dispersal draft in the wings. One of Winnipegs best players this season, middle linebacker Henoc Muamba, continued to shine in the losing effort with nine tackles, easily topping 100 for the season. He has been named the teams most outstanding player, most outstanding Canadian and most outstanding defensive player. But hes also far from certain to return after failing to sign a new contract. "Its a possibility, its up in the air right now," was all he would say Saturday. Burke admitted there may be some relief throughout the organization now that the season is over and the team can look towards a building phase. This years finish ties the worst on record in the 18-game era, set under former head coach Jeff Reinebold, now Hamiltons special teams co-ordinator. Hamiltons finish meanwhile is their first since 2001 to break into double digits on the win side. The announced attendance Saturday was 26,316, the lowest this season including the pre-season, at Investors Group Field, the Bombers new $200-million home. As for actual fans in seats, despite a sunny day with temperatures that climbed to about nine during the game, the number was well under the announced figure. It dwindled even more by the end of the game.

The 12th-ranked Haas served well throughout the match at the Ibirapuera arena, allowing only one break point to the 152nd-ranked Italian. Both players held serve until the first-set tiebreak, when Haas stepped up his game to easily clinch the set. http://www.baseballtigersproshop.com/james-mccann-tigers-jersey/ .

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Oakland had a chance to upset No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday. It just couldnt keep up with the Spartans on the glass. Duke Mondy scored 24 points, but the Golden Grizzlies were outrebounded by nine during a 67-63 loss to Branden Dawson and Michigan State. "There are no moral victories here at Oakland," coach Greg Kampe said, thanking Tom Izzo for scheduling his team. "We passed that point of being close long ago. We were close again and just couldnt beat them." Mondy, the nations leader in steals, had seven swipes for the Golden Grizzlies (2-9). Travis Bader, who grew up in the shadows of Michigan State, had 18 points and Corey Petros added 11 for Oakland, winless in 12 games in the series. I had seven steals?" Mondy said. "I didnt even know that. I have great anticipation. Im not a gambler, but I like to gamble sometimes." Bader went 4 for 14 from long range to move within 56 3-pointers of J.J. Redicks NCAA record, drawing rave reviews from Izzo. "I love that kid," Izzo said of Bader, the son of his former director of basketball operations. "I grew up with that kid, and he grew up with me. If ever a kid deserves success, its him. I hope he breaks the record." Izzo had no idea how Dawson would play after he challenged the enigmatic forward following a disappointing effort against North Carolina. He got the answer he was looking for in a home game for Oakland at The Palace. Dawson had 16 points and 13 rebounds for the short-handed Spartans (8-1), who were rusty and turnover-prone after a 10-day break. "I thought Dawson really responded today," Izzo said. "I got after him pretty good." Dawson took only two shots and had two turnovers in 17 minutes during Michigan States 79-65 home loss to the Tar Heels on Dec. 4. It was a much different story against the Golden Grizzllies, with Dawson going 7 for 13 from the field and blocking three shots in 36 minutes. J. D. Martinez Tigers Jersey. "There was a different mindset and definitely a different approach," Dawson said. "Id just had one of the worst games since Ive been here against North Carolina. So the guys all pushed me, and Coach talked to me." Keith Appling scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half for the Spartans, and Adreian Payne had 20 points and 10 rebounds. Michigan State played without leading scorer Gary Harris, who is nursing an ankle injury. The Spartans also were without big men Matt Costello (mononucleosis) and Kenny Kaminski (academic suspension). The Golden Grizzlies jumped to a 20-12 lead, taking advantage of the Spartans sloppiness. Oakland had four assists on its first five baskets, while Michigan State was recording one assist and committing seven turnovers. "The start they had kept them in the game," Izzo said. "If wed gotten them down early, maybe some of those losses theyve had wouldve mounted." Michigan State managed to rally for a 35-31 lead early in the second half on two jumpers by Appling. But Oakland wouldnt go away. Baders third 3 tied it at 50 with 7:44 to play. He was 4 for 14 from long range. An Appling 3 and a Bader turnover helped Michigan State take a five-point advantage, its largest of the day to that point. Another Bader turnover and a layup and free throw by Appling built the cushion to 58-50 and seemed to create some daylight. "They were just so physical," Kampe said. "A couple of our bigger backups are out for the season, and we just dont have the size to match them. We werent physical enough, and Dawson had his way down in there." The Golden Grizzlies closed to 60-56 with 2:42 left. But Travis Trice hit a 3 at the end of the shot clock to give the Spartans a seven-point edge.
