Wow, it's been a while...

I can't believe that it has been eleven days since my last posting on the blog.

A lot has happened in the world of sports. NCAA Tourny, men's and women's have begun, the World Baseball Classic has finished up, and MLB baseball is just around the corner.

A few thoughts on the tournys -

MEN'S - Wake Forest was a major letdown. Few people, including myself, thought that they could put a run together and move through the rounds of March Madness. But as one Wake fan told me, the Deacs are either good or bad, and there is no in between. Obviously, we saw the bad Deacs in the first round. Most of the other higher seeds move on, and no other standout games are coming to mind at the moment.

WOMEN'S - The first few rounds of the women's tourny take place at individual schools, until the Sweet 16, or Regional, round. So can anyone tell me why the lower seeds are somehow hosting some of these games? It happened multiple times, most notably with the Duke women, ranked 1st in their region, having to travel to Michigan State. The Devils lost, and thus the controversy has begun. Also, if the lower sseeds are going to play at home, at least let them wear the home whites. If no one else saw it, trust me, it was awkward to see Michigan State running up a court bearing the Spartan's name, logo, and colors in the road unis.
