I Would Go Broke

Good thing I don't pick college football games for a living.  Yesterday I was critical of the University of Louisville football team and compared them to Northern Illinois.  Man, was that a mistake.

Louisville dominated Florida last night in the Sugar Bowl and upset the SEC power 33-23.  In looking back I should have been more careful.  The Gators had been feckless on offense against lesser teams for the past four weeks of the season.  One of those games was against my beloved Mizzou Tigers.  Missouri had a chance to tie the game on the final play of that game 14-14, only to have a pass sail just over the head of an open receiver.

So, to all of the Louisville Cardinals fans I may have offended, my congratulations to you and your team on a nice win and a good season.

OK so I'm Not a Hoops Guru

Well, if you read the post below this one, you"ll see I picked the Butler Bulldogs to win the NCAA tournament. OK, I was wrong, sue me. I sure hope you didn't bet any of your hard earned money on either of those teams. The game was uh, how should I put it....UGLY to say the least. As a friend of mine put it "if that game were a girl, I would have had to have really thick beer goggles to take her home". I thought Butler would shoot better from three point land than what it did. I did not think UConn would play defense as well as it did. So, the bottom line is congratulations to the Connecticut Huskies. I still think the Big East is a bunch of thugs.
