Final Four Preview and Opening Day

So the time has come once again for another Final Four and one that might feature the most unlikely of teams in recent memory. The combined seeds add up to 26, an enormously high number for the last four teams left in College Basketball.

My Elite 8 Predictions were almost all correct. 3 or 4, 75% Correct. Entire Tournament - 37 of 60, 62% Correct

3. Uconn vs 4. Kentucky - John Calipari vs Jim Calhoun. Brandon Knight vs Kemba Walker. I like the latter in both matchups. At this point in the tournament it seems insane to even think about picking against Kemba in any sort of game. Although Brandon Knight has become Mr. Bigshot for the Wildcats down the stretch , I still believe they're too young to win at this level. Prediction - Uconn

11. Vcu vs 8. Butler - So how many of you had this matchup as one of your final four games? I'll be the first to admit I thought Butler would lose in the first round to Old Dominion as well as USC beating VCU in the play-in game. They've both had unbelievable underdog runs to this point, the only difference is, this is Butler's second year in a row doing it. That will give the Bulldogs the edge over Coach Smart's Rams in this battle of Cinderella's. Prediction - Butler


OPENING DAY 2011

Yesterday marked the Opening day for numerous teams around baseball, including the New York Yankees.  Although it's impossible to judge a baseball team on just one measly game, the Yanks looked solid posting a 6-3 Victory of the Detroit Tigers.

The bullpen was absolutely perfect, Joba, Soriano, and Mariano, all pitched 1-2-3 scoreless innings. I'm sure the Yankees are banking on this to be the formula for winning after 6 solid innings from a starter.

Jeter went hitless and still remains 74 hits shy from 3000.

Tex and Grandy were the heroes of the game however, Mark hit a colossal 3 run home run to give the Yanks their first runs of the season. Granderson then broke a 3-3 tie in the 7th inning with a solo shot to put the Yanks up for good.

1 game down , 161 to go.
