I’m not a boxing fan myself and am in no way knowledgeable enough to analyze the sport, but I’ll watch a good fight. For the first time in a long time, there seems to be a little buzz coming from the sport of boxing. A couple nice fights, quality Tarver smack talk and what appears to be some interesting potential future bouts might actually reel in the casual sports fan.
Looks like Tiger will have to head to Denny’s for that Grandslam. Trevor Immelman played solid golf from the opening tee just months following surgery to remove a tumor from his ribcage. I happen to like Tiger but I’m all for seeing someone new winning a tournament. Augusta looked beautiful and even on television those greens looked like the Appalachians.
At the start of the 2007-08 men’s hoops season hardly anyone knew had heard or knew of Keno Davis. Despite losing to Western Kentucky in the opening round of the 2008 NCAA tournament, Davis earned numerous Coach of the Year accolades. Last week, he cashed in on his Cinderella season by accepting the head-coaching job at Providence. While I believe the MVC is a great conference, the chances of Davis maintaining success at a school most noted for its scholarly achievements would be slim at best. The situation at Providence will certainly be a challenge, but it offers more money and a chance at long-term coaching success that Drake simply can’t match. Good Luck Keno!
I’m planning on covering the NHL Playoffs next week so I’m not going get into too much detail here, however the Canadiens are looking awfully tough behind Carey Price who just notched his first career playoff shutout and is now 15-4 since Montreal traded away Cristobal Huet. There’s a lot of hockey to be played but I’m having a hard time believing the Stanley Cup Finals won’t be played in Montreal this season.
The train’s final stop brings us to College Football where the NCAA went out of its way to avoid its own version of SpyGate. I am shocked! You mean to tell me that nowhere in the current thousands of pages of rules, regulations, and bylaws there wasn’t any mention of such an act of cheating?
