Does Anyone Want To Be #1?

I don't know what the deal is this year in College Basketball, but it seems as though no team wants to be #1. As of today there have been five different teams ranked in the top spot (UNC, PITTx2, W.F., DUKE, UCONN). With PITT getting beat last night (is it just me or does their coach look like a young Pat Riley?) by Providence it looks as though we'll have a new #1 next week. It's probably going to be UCONN if they can beat Marquette tonight. It would have been Oklahoma if they hadn't lost two straight (Griffin got hurt), though I still think they are going to be one of the favorites come tournament time. Have you seen Blake Griffin? Guy is an animal. I did think Tikes' beloved 'Heels were asserting themselves as the nations elite again until Maryland and The Ugly Venezuelan Assasin stuck it to them. I was quite disappointed with the lack of heart UNC showed in that game. Pretty pathetic. I do think they'll be back and fighting for the title come tourney time though. As for my Dukies, they have a few big games coming up that they need to take care business. Maryland tonight (who they beat by 41 earlier this year), and then Virginia Tech and Florida State. If they can get through those games it will set up a huge game to end conference play against UNC. With Elliot Williams (freshman) now running the point instead of Paulus, Duke has started to play very good. If Henderson and Scheyer can continue to play well, they just might make a March Madness run as well.

Will Summer Please Come!

I don't know if anyone else feels the way I do, but I'm straight up sick of winter (Me=Homer Winter=Bart). I don't know why I live in this state. Apparently every summer I forget how bad winter blows (I don't need any smart remarks P.). That is part of the reason for my blogging woes (depression). The other part is my family and now myself have been sick non-stop. We are all finally getting over it, but after strep making it's way through the family, along with some ear infections and sinus infections. I'm done. Not only that, but now on March 5 Tre will get his tonsils out and Eliza tubes in the ears. After all the doctors visits and then those, I'm going to be paying for medical bills for the rest of eternity.



Alas there is some good happening in the world. As you all might have heard, Tiger Woods makes his return to the golfing world next week at the Accenture Match Play Championship. Now everyone can start watching golf again. Even better, my favorite tournament is on the horizon. The Masters. There is no better golf tournament in the world, and Tiger will be going for his 5th green jacket. If there is one course I would kill to play it would be Augusta National.



Also of note this coming month is March Madness, and my Dukies seem to be getting worse as the tourny nears. Hopefully they can get their crap together. If they can finish out strong in ACC play (a win at Chapel Hill would be huge) they just might be able to make a run. As for the Gators (this is for you Tobi), they are 20-6 and currently in 2nd behind LSU in the SEC. Not bad, but they will need to finish strong if they want to make it into the big dance. They have been super inconsistent all year and need to step it up big time or will be relegated to the NIT..again.

Well that's it for now. Peace out!
