Random Thoughts

Wow, I haven't blogged about anything on here for a long time...so here are some thoughts of my own at the moment...

First of all, the big game tonight. UNC-Duke. It's easily the best rivalry in college hoops, but is it the best rivalry in sports? Right now I say it is. 8 miles apart, both teams back in the elite of the game. In my opinion, it's jumped ahead of OSU-Mich, Red Sox-Yanks, and is light years ahead of any NBA rivalry. Tonight, UNC probably has too much for them...they do have more talent, and unless the Dukies unleash a barrage of threes, Carolina will make it four in a row at Cameron.

Right now, my Final Four is UConn, UNC, Pitt, and Oklahoma...not creative I know, but those teams have established themselves as the best four in the country.

As for A-Rod, who has had a bigger fall from grace? Britney Spears or A-Rod. Discuss.

It certainly wasn't shocking that A-Rod's name came out in the steroid discussion. But it does really hurt the integrity of his records. When he ends up blasting 850 homers at the end of his career, it's just going to be another mockery of the game. I say let's go back to 61 and 755, and go from there.

The rest of the Minnesota Timberwolves season will be unwatchable.

Speaking of unwatchable, the Gopher hockey team has picked the wrong time of the year to go on a bad slide...they need a pair against mighty Anchorage this weekend.

I'll give you LeBron for the first 40 minutes of the game, but I'll take Kobe for the last 8.

Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Wo....

No single athlete drives his/her sport like Tiger does...no one even thinks about paying attention unless he is playing.

Michael Phelps...come on...you can't get photographed at a college party with half of your face stuffed down a bong pipe. You're world-famous now. And who the hell at a college party at the University of South Carolina knew Michael Phelps to get him to come to the party in the first place? That is the question that I want answered. One thing we do know for sure now is we have finally figured out how Phelps was able to eat that 10,000 calorie a day diet they spoke of during the Olympics. Guy simply had the munchies.

Gopher hoops is going nowhere...hate to say it. No go-to guy, and way way too many turnovers. It's been a nice story, but they won't get out of the first weekend, and it's certainly not guaranteed they will make the tournament yet.

I've taken plenty of time now, I'll be cheering for the Heels tonight for sure, go Gophs and have a great day.
