Wow April is great

I was reading the sports guys mailbag, he is the man, and one of his readers asked the question what is the best sports month, and he said April, and started listing sporting events that happen in April. I never even thought how great of a month this is. You have the final four, opening day for baseball, the NBA and NFL playoffs state, the NFL draft, the Masters, and then as he also mentioned, he has halter top day. Every where that has seasons can appreciate halter top day, it is a great thing. We all know what it is, that first day of spring where the weather gets warmer, and the girls wear less. It is a wonderful time of year, especially around a college town. I remember back when I was in school, before I graduated and got old, and had a family and stuff, I would walk around with my rm Phil and we would wonder where all these good looking girls came from. For awhile we even thought they may have been a rule of some kind that good looking girls didn't have to go to class if it was under 45 degrees. Cause all winter you see everyone in sweet shirts and jackets, and then all of a sudden.. BAM, good looking girls everywhere... it's a special time.


Moving on more to sports, the final four this weekend should be great. I hope MSU wins but Uconn of course is very good, so it could go either way, I picked UNC and MSU to get to the title game when the brackets came out, and at least that still has a chance to happen. UNC is playing so good right now,I do not see them loosing. But Nova is not play, so they will need to continue to play well.

IMO the Bears just gave up way way way way too much for Jay Cutler, but we'll see. Two number ones, a 3 and Orten, for Cutler and a 5, wow. If the Pats were doing this trade they would have gotten Cutler for a 4th rounder at most. The Bears also signed O Pace yesterday too, so they are doing all they can to get better. And in that division if you are 10-6, maybe even 9-7, you could win the division, and with 2 games against the Lions, you have two wins, home games vs the Viks, and Packers, should be two more, and you are already at 4. So they could very well win that division, we will see what the rest of the conference does. I am also interested to see what Denver does now with their two picks.

BTW congrats to PSU for wining the NIT. Yes it is the NIT, so no one really cares, but this is just another example of how underrated the big ten was. PSU, the 8th best team in the big ten, wins the NIT, and beats the 8th best from the big east in the semi's and then the 6th best in the big 12 in the finals. I am telling you, the national fans and media can hate on them all you want, but the numbers don't lie, the big ten is a very good conference. In college basketball this year, the big east was of course first, because one of how many teams, and two because their top teams were just as good as any in the nation, and then the big ten and acc are right there at two and three. I think the ACC has a better top to the conference, but the big ten has a better bottom, and more depth. really 9 out of 11 teams in the big ten were good, and could beat anyone on any giving day. Just something I wanted to add, against the big east is clearly the best.. but it is time people outside of the Midwest gave the big ten some love.

Enjoy a great sports weekend. I'm right, you're wrong.
