NCAA Regional wrap up

Texas A&M defeated University of Arizona 3-0 today in a storm delayed game originally set for Monday. A&M advances to the Tallahassee regional to face Florida State. Texas A&M helps salvage some respect for the Big 12 in the NCAA Tournament. The Big 12 finished regional play 9-10. The ACC finished 16-8, PAC 10 18-5, SEC 18-6, Big East 6-5, and the Big 10 was 2-2.

#3 seed Dallas Baptist, an Independent team, continued their amazing season by surviving the Fort Worth bracket to advance to the Santa Clara regional to face another #3 seed University of California at Stephen Schott Stadium.

Pryor says, “Tat ya later” to OSU

Who is the least liked wide receiver named Terrelle in pro football? Terrelle Pryor, take a bow. He has easily outdistanced himself from the former disliked, Terrelle Owens. And Pryor has to be fooling himself if he thinks he will be a quarterback on the next level. Someone give Pryor former University of Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones’ phone number.

How kind or harsh will the media, blogs, and message boards be to Terrelle Pryor? He’s an easy target and deserving of all that he receives. It’ll be funny reading soft and easy headlines like, “Pryor leaves OSU” or “Pryor heads to the NFL”. Let’s be honest. The headlines should read, “OSU doesn’t want the continued headache and embarrassment Pryor has brought the school so they finally kicked him off the team”.

NFL plans for an 8 game season

Why? Why would the NFL plan for an 8 game season instead of a full 16 game season? Is there a law forbidding the NFL to move the Super Bowl back a few weeks? Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana is the predetermined site for the 2012 Super Bowl, XLVI. It seems hard to believe that the administrators for Lucas Oil Stadium would say no to the NFL if the NFL asked to move the Super Bowl back a couple of weeks. Maybe Roger Goodell has vacation plans in March thus having a full season extend into March would not be good for him? Do the players and owners have somewhere else they have to be this spring? It’s their job, so go do your job! However long it takes to finish it.

Wait, this makes sense. This is another attempt to yo-yo with the emotions of the fans and the NFL players. If the NFL Players Union does not settle on a new labor agreement, this “forces” the NFL and the owners into an 8 game season. This means the players will only receive half of their salary for the 2011-2012 season.

Anyone else tired of hearing about money, the U.S. economy, millionaires complaining about their cut, banks being bailed out, foreclosures, and our pro sports teams being locked out over “labor disputes”, aka money?
