Not Much of a Game

Well that was one of the more boring National Championship games you will see. Michigan State never stood a chance as North Carolina took home the title with the 89-72 victory. That gives UNC its 5th national title in basketball, that is the third most by any school behind UCLA and Kentucky. UNC had this game put away at halftime when they were up by 21 points. That is the largest half time lead ever in the championship game. Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington proved to be far more than Michigan State could handle. I wish the game could have been a little closer but I am happy that Hansbrough was able to go out a champion, he is going to go down as one of the greatest college players to ever play the game. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the NBA... alot of people do not think he will be very good as a pro. What do you guys think?

NCAA Championship Gane

Well I'm getting ready to ready to watch the championship game of march madness. Hopefully it is a good game and we don't have to watch a blow out. North Carolina seems to be the favorite in the eyes of many experts. However I'm sure the building will be packed with Michigan State fans seeing that the game is being played in Detroit essentially making it feel like a home game for them. I hope that UNC can pull it out and Tyler Hansbrough can end his senior year with the national championship. Overall it hasn't been that exciting of a tournament to me with a lack real major upsets. It is always fun to watch the cinderella team make a long run in the tournament. Well it's almost game time I'll be back after midnight to blog about the game!

Twitter

I'm sure most of you have heard about this new craze known as twitter that is becoming more and more popular. Twitter is a social networking and blog service that allows its users to send and read other users updates known as tweets. Recently this new service has been taken to limits that have never been seen before. Professional athletes have actually updated there page during halftime of their games. To me that is nuts, keep your head in the game! Social networking sites like this and facebook are almost taking over people's lives. I don't know about you guys but I am on facebook way too much and it definitely takes away from my ability to get my school work done. Every time go on the internet I find myself on facebook without even intending to. What do you guys think should athletes being twittering in the middle of their games?

Opening Day

Spring has almost truly arrived and that means that opening day is fast approaching. The Red Sox open their season on Monday afternoon against those Tampa Bay Rays. I'm really looking forward to this season and hoping that the Sox can bring home another world series. I Think they have a pretty solid chance of doing it even with the enormous amount of cash the Yanks dished out to free agents in the off season. The strenght of the team definitely seems like it is going to be the pitching staff they have a ton of depth both in the rotation and in the bullpen. For starters they bring back Josh Beckett, John Lester, Dice-K, Tim Wakefield, John Smoltz, Brad Penny, Clay Bucholz they just have a wealth of solid guys to fill the 5 man rotation. In the bullpen they of course have one of the best closers in the game Jonathon Papelbon along with Manny Delcarmen, Hideki Okajima, Justin Masterson, Ramon Ramirez and many more guys that are more than capable of pitchin in the Big Leagues. The Line up 1-9 is as balanced as any in the league. With Big Papi, Pedroia, Youk, Bay, Lowell these guys definitely are capable of making damage. I am really looking forward to seeing just what this team can do. What do you guys think the Sox chances are this season?

Hudson River Plane Crash

I think it was amazing that a plane could crash in such a large body of water and noone coul die. That pilot is truly a hero. I was recently on addictinggames.com come and noticed that you could play a game that was called "Hudson Hero" it gave you a chance to try and save all those were aboard. You guys should all check it out and see if you can be a "Hudson Hero"

Get rid of Fighting?

I don't know how many of you are hockey fans, but those have you are may know they have been thinking about getting rid of fighting in the NHL. I am a huge fan of the sport and think that would be a horrible move. Fighting plays a huge role in the game and can swing the momentum from one team to another. Those who want to get rid of it do not realize just how much it would change the game and i truly d0 not agree with them.

'Alex Rodriguez Park'...Why?

This is a link to an interesting story I found while look at the ESPN website. It is sort of a follow up to my first post. The University of Miami officially named their baseball stadium Alex Rodriguez Park today. The Miami head coach Jim Morris says, "It's not fair to Alex to pinpoint one guy. I'm afraid I wouldn't want to see the list, but at the same time, I don't think it's fair to pinpoint one guy." This is similar to what I had said before about the fact the other 103 names have not been revealed and all the weight of this issue has been put on A-Rod. However I am a believer that revealing those names would be the best thing that baseball could do right now. I also don't know if I would of gone through with naming the field after A-Rod considering all that has taken place over the last week. What do you guys think, Did Miami do the right thing?
