Random Thoughts

With the College World Series wrapping up and football over a month away, it's a little quiet in the sports world. We are looking for your thoughts on a variety of topics, you choose. Crowds were up at the CWS in Omaha, were you as interested this year with perennial powers Texas and LSU fighting for the national title. The US Open goes to Lucas Glover. Will Tiger or Phil win a major this year, I say yes....take Tiger in the British. It's nice to have an underdog win, but not all the time. The funny thing, or sad for some, is that when Tiger and Phil and not winning neither are Sergio or Furyk or Adam Scott or Vijay,etc,etc,etc. This is their chance. Tiger recovering from knee surgery and Phil's life turned upside down with Amy's cancer. Will someone step up?

Major League Baseball is on the front burner, fitting since the temps are in the high 90's!! Everyone is bashing the Cubs, yet they are just 2 1/2 back. The Royals early season run ended a month ago. Every winning streak seems to be equaled by a longer losing streak!! It's Boston and New York in the east again. Do you see any team making a run in the second half and surprising the baseball world?? Let us know, we always value your opinion.

Just some random thoughts today....add yours!!!

OMAHA!!

Remember the disappointment of falling short of destination Omaha? Remember being so close but knowing a whole year awaits until we could dream again? Remember falling short in Palo Alto? Remember the euphoria of sending Rice back to Houston that first trip we made? Remember Miami melting under the sun at Hawks Field? Remember the expectations of our program? Mike Anderson says he hopes those expectations never fade! I guess in my mind I am sad that the year ended without those expectations. Hell, no one cared? No one can name 4 position players. I'm begging coach A, you have to return those expectations not only for your job, but so all of us can remember how to dream again!!! Big Daddy

Texas...That's It??!?!?!?

The first week of the NCAA baseball tournament is in the books. The Big 12 had a nation leading 8 teams selected for the 64 team field. How many are left??? ONE...and that's the overall number one seed Texas, who needed an 8-run 9th inning to beat the 4-seed ARMY. Now, if Texas is the top seed in the nation, doesn't that make Army the worst team in the field??? So... Texas eeks out a win over the worst team in the field, and the other 7 Big 12 teams don't make it out of the first weekend of play. Am I supposed to buy that the Big 12 was tough this season? There was no dominant team in the conference this year, and that showed this past weekend. If this happened in the men's bb tournament, or the conference went 1-7 in bowl games, everyone would be trashing the conference. Why doesn't the same hold true for baseball??!?
