March Madness.

My apologies, I know you have all been anxiously awaiting another blog entry but I simply have not had time lately. Been pretty busy with school and work, please forgive me.

Cincinnati Reds tickets came in the mail. A couple friends and I purchased the 10-game Power Pack which includes tickets to opening day. First spring training game is four days away, getting really excited.

Over the weekend I got some new basketball shoes! 'Hyperdunk Lows.' These Nike's are red, black and white as you may have guessed. It's the first time I have ever had low cut basketball shows and I wasn't really sure how I'd like them until I played with them. I love them, played really well, maybe the best ever..must be the shoes right?

Tough loss for UC against West Virginia. Don't really know what else to say about this team that hasn't been said. All I can hope for now is that they go out fighting, make it respectable the last couple games left of this unsatisfying season. Senior night tomorrow night against # 9 Villanova. It's # 5 Deonta Vaughn and #42 Steve Toyloy's last home game. They're selling the upper level tickets for $5.42, pretty cool if you ask me. But at the same time I think it's pretty sad that we have to sell five dollar tickets for fans to come to the games, times have certainly changed in the UC basketball program.

Gosh dangit Sydney Crosby! UGH! The United States hockey team put together one heck of a run in the Olympics but fell just short. Remarkable gold medal game against Canada that went into overtime thanks to a desperation goal by the United States with 24 seconds left in regulation. When USA tied it up after pretty much everyone thought it was over, Calhoun Hall went NUTS! Watched every second, most excited/nerve-racking sporting event I've watched in a long time and I don't even like hockey. Hats off to the USA hockey team for making it close and exciting which not many thought it would be. It's disappointing the Olympics are over but March Madness is quickly approaching; one of the best times of the year.

Pictures of the new shoes..

That is the Truth.
