March Madness and Baseball Season!

Alright its almost time for College Basketball March Madness and Major League Baseball! As for basketball, Suzanne's Team, Kentucky already has a bid to the tourney but my Arizona Wildcats don't seem to have much of a chance. Lute Olson, their coach of 25 years, took a break for personal reasons and the team just couldn't hack it without him. In fact this is the worst performance they have had since Lute's first year as coach for the Cats. Lute is about 20 games short of 800 wins in Division 1 schools. We miss you Lute!!
As for Baseball, spring training is going on and the Angel's look really good! They acquired Torii Hunter from the Twins this year and he should add a big bat to the lineup not to mention bulking up an already stellar outfield. They also got Jon Garland from the Chicago White Sox for their pitching staff...2 great additions which I am sure will pay off. We have opening day tickets against the Rangers and we can't wait!!

Lute said today that he is coming back! We will see how that changes things a bit since AZ has no chance this year to go to the tourny!

Yeah, the whole town is abuzz about Lute's return. There are all kinds of rumors about why he took a leave....rehab, the divorce, etc. We may never know. We hope O'neill stays as assistant.
