Quick Notes: Conference Championship Games

Quick Picks of the champions for the weekend.

ACC - Should be UNC but they seem to choke in this tourny every year. I'll go with UVgay, I mean UVA, why because they have the Best Point Guard.

America East - Vermont is going to dominate in their home arena.

Big East - Pitt over Georgetown. Usually the Big East champion gets knocked off early in the NCAAs, since I think G-town will go far, and Pitt is always the perfect choke artist...

Big 10 - Wisconsin should face OSU in the title game, I'll take Wisconsin to win the Conference Championship, but someone else might be my preseason pick for the title / future pick for the title.

Big 12 - Durant's biggest college accomplishment comes this weekend when he leads the Texas Longhorns to victories over the Jayhawks and another over A&M.

Big West - Going with the home of Snoop D O Double G, Long Beach State.

Conference USA - Is there any conference easier to pick than USA? Um Memphis, with a house down payment on the line.

Mid American - Should we go with Wally World's alma mata, how about no. Akron Zips baby.

Mountain West - The Runnin Rebs are pro polygamy and that is why they dominate mountain territory. UNLV.

Pac 10 - Woah where did UCLA go already? And Arizona as well? I'm going with the Mighty Ducks of Oregon.

Patriot - I'm a Holy Cross Crusader homer. Let's go Worcester boys.

SEC - I don't think Florida chokes this one away despite their poor play the past few weeks.

WAC - Um almost as easy as Conference USA, Nevada. Fazekas is a funny name...

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
