Hump Day Blogging

Happy hump day to all. I am glad to be sitting here blogging tonight for all of your enjoyment. I am gonna start off by discussing some things that occurred in college basketball last night. First I would like to congratulate Purdue on a big rally in a win on senior night. They got off to a slow start on senior night but rallied late to win over a quality opponent in Illinois. The point of slow starts brings me to a question I would like you all to write on the wall or comment on. Do you my followers feel that senior night is extremely emotional and can cause teams to come out flat? The only reason I want your thoughts is because I heard Digger Phelps say that teams usually come out flat on senior night and I want to know if anyone else feels this way because I just think he is making excuses for teams that have struggled all year in the first half. I mean when I say the words Villanova vs. Notre Dame I bet many of you aren't thinking about a team that came out flat on Monday night but whatever Phelps when those First Half Zombies start playing good teams in the Big Dance they won't even want to come out on the court for the second half. The other college game I would like to comment on is Ohio State vs. Penn State. I know I had the Buckeyes as an 8 point favorite. I forgot two things though John Diebler can shoot the three and in order for Penn State to be good Taylor Battle the point guard should actually try showing up and doing something. Sorry Penn State YOU GOT ROCKED! Now onto tonights action I am gonna start out with my upset alert. I got Florida State over North Carolina in Florida. Sorry Roy Williams Seminoles D is nasty and Harrison Barnes is not ready to lead this team to the Final Four like some ESPN personnel think. Other games I got Kansas over Texas A&M, Duke over Clemson, and in the NBA with Chauncey Billups out for the Knicks I got the Hornets over the Knicks at MSG. Sorry Tony Douglas your good but not as good as Mr. Big Shot. Now for my last section tonight I am going to go to fan mail. 1. My first non-faceboook friend follower named Windyridge asks who I fancy for player of the year in college hoops. Some are probably thinking Jimmer Fredette he takes to many shots, Kemba Walker you might say where is Kemba Walker I say. My player of the year is James Sullinger from Ohio State his team is #1 in the country and he has been the most consistent player in hoops. The other two mails I received go hand in hand. Sam asked me whats going on in Spring Training and Keith sent me a link to a story about Andy Sonnanstine the Rays pitcher. To both of these members I would like to say yes Keith I saw it. For those of you who don't know yesterday Sonnanstine faced 11 batters giving up 5 homers. Keith are we really surprised this is a guy that throws 86 with a changeup that goes 80. He is washed up and its time for him to give up and go sell hot dogs at the concession stand. This guy is gonna be .500 for the Double A club and I am sorry for that team that he pitches on. Sam spring training baseball is a joke. I think it is worse then NBA and NFL preseason put together. In spring training the normal big leaguers will take one at bat and throw two innings. After their "long day" they shower and leave the park before fans even sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. If I was the MLB I wouldn't even televise this circus act. Thanks for the mail and tomorrow night we will discuss the NFL Labor agreement as it expires tomorrow night at 11:59. I'm Out!!
