super bowl 44 – my prediction

This is a tough pick.  Two great QB’s dualing it out.  While I don’t have a dog in this fight, I’m thinking that the Colts pull out the win.  Still, can’t help but pull for the feel good story of the Saints.  Just hoping for a close game and that the half time commercials aren’t lame.  Official score prediction?  Colts 28 Saints 20, Half time commercials are decent.

Super Bowl Game

would you cheer for the other team?….

It’s a football game, Friday night and instead of cheering on your team, you and about 200 of your friends/family go over to the visitor side and cheer for them the whole game.  Impossible?  Crazy?  Not so.  Check this out:

Dawgs win


Well, it was an ugly, ugly ball game, but a win is always a beautiful thing.  Rather have an ugly win vs a pretty loss any day.  I have to admit, I probably get way too much joy out of watching Steve Spurrier squirm.  And while I didn’t see him throw his visor yesterday, I did see that he threw his headset three times.  3-0, 1-0 in the SEC.  I’ll take it.  Go Dawgs!

Great day in Athens today…

Kim, Hannah and I went to Athens today. Spencer went to visit Nana and Pappy (Kim’s parents). Was a great game. Man, we have so much young talent on this team. We won the game 56 – 17. The highlight though had to have been this play. Yeah, he just did that. Check it!

I don’t golf…

Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. I do play golf. It’s just that I’m averaging about once every 2.5 years. I consider my “handicap” when I play each time the very fact that I’m on the course. :) It’s just not pretty.

Yesterday my parents call and my mom wants to take Kim and the kids to the zoo in Columbia while my dad and I go play some golf. Sounds like a fun day so they all take off, and my dad and I head off to our high class, high dollar golf course: Jim and Lily’s in Jackson, SC. It’s a redneck golfers paradise. You can play and ride 18 for about $15.00. The fairways are a lovely mixture of dirt, sand, weeds and the occasional plug of grass. We decided that we would be good for 9 holes so that’s what we played.

My dad has macular degeneration so his eyesight is not the best. So, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Well, we played 9 holes, and my dad did really good. I would have to help him spot where his ball went, but he drove the ball well and putted well. In the end, his score was 58. I did beat him…..by only 7 strokes. Like I said, I probably shouldn’t golf. But, we had a great time, the weather was perfect…it was a good day :)

masters golf & soft, spoken english chaps

I’m sitting at home doing some work and watching the Masters Par 3 tournament. Two guys commentating. It’s the first time that the par 3 has been on tv, and it is on ESPN. And they too have a british commentator. It all began with the now retired commentator (can’t think of his name) who always called the Masters tournament. Now everyone who covers golf HAS to have a british chap calling the action. You know what I’d love to see for just one day…on ESPN during the par 3, I would love to have….Dickie V call the action: “BIG T TIGER WOODS IS ON THE PROWL, BABY!!!” That would be fun…just for kicks and giggles :)

Go Jayhawks!

I just want to say that I’m glad that Kansas beat UNC. I was surprised that they actually pulled it out. They staved off a mid game UNC run and defeated them soundly in the end. Kansas just had too much size and Hansbrough just couldn’t deal with their big men down low. Kansas suffered when they moved away from the low post but went back to it in the end. Hansbrough is a great player, but the boy mugs everybody and never gets called, yet he always gets the call including several flops tonight that were great acting jobs. He’s like the Vlade Divac of the NCAA. :) Anyway, kudos to UNC on a great year, and it should be a great matchup on Monday with Memphis. Memphis is fast, tough and big.

I think a couple of UNC fans will need some love as they will be pretty down. Like this guy, and this guy :)
