The Matchup 2/14/11

Valentine's day is a time for love, unless you're Justin Bieber or Lady GaGa and you're wondering why you got shut out of the GRAMMYs last night. I guess they didn't follow the four chords rule.






Today's matchup features one team that's really feeling the LOVE, and another that really should be.

Premier League

Chelsea @ Fulham - ESPN2 2:30 p.m.
That's right, Premier League football (soccer for us on this side of the pond) is gaining loads of viewership steam in America since the 2010 World Cup, and ESPN has picked up many more Premier League telecasts than before. While Fulham isn't one of the Premier League's "premier" teams, it boasts perhaps America's finest player in Clint Dempsey, which is why they should feel your love this Valentine's day. Seeing Chelsea's new prize striker Fernando Torres in his second cap is a nice incentive to watch as well.

College Basketball

#1 Kansas @ Kansas State - ESPN 9 p.m.
Kansas felt the love in a big way in the polls this week jumping to number 1 with Ohio State's first loss, and despite being 2nd in the Big 12 to #2 Texas, they're number 1 in the hearts of voters. They travel to Manhattan to face a Kansas State team that has failed to live up to its lofty expectations this year, but you better believe Bramlage Coliseum will be rocking tonight.
