Big Nothing Tournament and The Tigers


Happy St. Patty's Day to all. Ali and I made corned beef tonight for the first time - turned out pretty well.


I posted a photo album of my trip to Lakeland to see the Tigers last Wednesday. As always, it was great seeing my team. For anyone that loves baseball and has never been to spring training, you are missing one of the greatest experiences you will ever have in the sports world. The players are for the most part accessible, kids are getting autographs, you are always sitting close to the action, and, the tickets are under $20!


The end of my sports week culminated in the Big Ten Tournament in Indy on Saturday. We were all stoked to see MSU-Wisco in the first game and IU-Purdue in the second. Unfortunately, someone forgot to mention to IU and Purdue that they needed to win on Friday in order to play on Saturday. So we were stuck with my most hated team, the Illini, and Minnesota. Needless to say, we only stayed for the first half. The first game was good - until the refs decided that Wisconsin should win.


Hoosiers get a #8 seed in the tournament. The seed is way too low - but the Hoosiers have no one to blame but themselves. They have the talent to make a serious run in the tournament - but because they screwed around during the last month, that run just got a lot harder.
