Crazy Night In College Hoops

• Pitt's 31 Game Home Win Streak Snapped by Georgetown
• Memphis' Conference Win Streak Halted at 64 by UTEP
• Duke is upset by NC State sending the Blue Devils to 0-3 on the road this season and losers of six out eight ACC road games.
• UNC loses for the third time in a row, a first under Roy Williams. They have lost four out of their last five, two of the losses (Clemson and Wake Forest) ranking in the top five worst defeats during the Roy Williams era. Earlier this season they lost to Syracuse which also is on the list for worst losses.

UCONN Women

I dont pay too much attention to the women's game, I know Uconn, tenn, duke, stanford, unc are usually the powers of the country. But I cant help but notice how dominating these Lady Huskies are. 70-46 over #3 Notre Dame, 81-48 over #7 Duke, 57 in a row, really? These girls got game, I think they need to be bumped up to the WNBA. I give props to them for such a dominating stretch and if they lose it will be an upset like no other. I wouldnt mind seeing them scrimmage the men's team. I'm rooting for this dynasty to continue.

Orange Bowl Champs

As most of you know the Iowa Hawkeyes beat Georgia Tech 24-14 to claim the Orange Bowl. Like usual the defense stepped up and attacked an offense that many thought would score often against the hawks. On the first drive when the hawks fumbled I thought great this could be a long game for the offense. But then they jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead which I didnt expect. I also didnt expect the defense to really take hold of the game, I thought they would win it (allow over 200yds maybe 20pts) but not dominate it. I know this is playing the "if" game but I think had stanzi not thrown the pick 6 and the hawks recieved the ball in the 2nd half instead of GT it would have been a shutout. I was very impressed with the outcome of this game. I'm very optimistic and excited for next season as we should be as good if not better and possibly contend for a national championship.(no more tebow, mccoy, ohio state comes to kinnick this year)

*Note* The hawks best OL and Big Ten's OL of the year award winner Bryan Bulaga has declared for the NFL Draft. I wish him the best of luck.

Go HAWKS!!

R.I.P. Chris Henry

I was checking my email when i saw a sad headline that read Chris Henry had died after falling off a pickup truck. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4750615I'm not a Bengals fan, but I'm not hating on them either. I'm actually glad they are doing well this season, and it was good seeing Chris turn his life around and start having some success in the NFL. It is sad to see his life ended short. You will be missed. R.I.P. Chris Henry.

Worst Nightmare

I was playing NCAA Basketball 10, only had it for about a week so i was really into it. I decided to play some Halo 3 with friends and i left the NCAA disc laying on the entertainment center. While i was in an intense game i kept shooing my dog away from the entertainment center because i didnt want him to bump the power button, sadly that isnt what he wanted. I heard a crunching noise a few minutes later and shrugged thinking he was eating a bone. Afte about ten minutes i turned around and saw it was a disc he was chewing on. I thought oh no big deal it was probably the blank cd i knocked off earlier in the day. I grabbed the disc and turned it over and it was NCAA Basketball 10 , I was upset, angry, shocked, wanted to throw the dog off the balcony. But i remained calm, scolded him, and continued to play the most depressing games of halo in my life.
