What a Wonderful Sports Weekend It Was!!


I don't even know where to start??? The Boilers win another one against Illinois, IU loses it's 2nd straight, Michigan State loses, the Patriots lose the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion.... Oh man! What a weekend!

I guess the IU loss was on Thursday, so we'll start there. It may just be me, but there is just something just really satisfying about watching IU lose basketball games. Although they tried to make a run midway through the 2nd, it was to no avail as they lost their 2nd straight 62-49. After White and Gordon, their next highest scorer had 4. You have to see that as a problem IU fans.

Next on the list was the Purdue victory. Can you say E'Tuan Moore??? You should probably learn how to say it, because the last couple of weeks he has been playing some fantastic basketball. 10-12 from the floor, 24 points. After Moore it was Crump and Green adding to the scoring. It's always somebody different with this team! They're really exciting to watch!!

MSU loss. That puts Purdue up top of the Big 10 standings with Wisconsin. Yes, The Purdue Boilermakers are in a first place tie in the Big 10 race. This is the sort of thing you predicted in November only after about 14 Millers. Nobody predicted this. Nobody!

And finally, The Greatest Team In The History Of the Entire World Ever, lost! It doesn't get much more satisfying than seeing that f'n dirtbag Bill Belichick running off the field before it's even over. Remember when Randy Mosss did that?? He was crucified for leaving early. Why has this not happened to Belichick???? This is the head coach we are talking about leaving before the game is finished. Lose with dignity, dirtbag.

Eli Manning played an amazing game. He didn't make horible mistakes he did so often in the regular season. Receivers made plays. And the defense did an amazing job. I kept waiting for the Pats to just take over the game, but it never happened. I kept waiting for Brady to make a great pass and find an open Randy Moss for at big TD, but it happened too late. I kept waiting for Eli Manning to throw an interception in their final series, but it never happened. Simply an amazing Superbowl performance by the biggest of underdogs.

Hopefully Boston fans will keep their mouths closed for a while.

But now the bad news. Football is over until August.

And now the good news. Pitchers and Catchers report in 10 days!
