March Madness Begins!

No better time of the year in sports than the NCAA basketball tounrnament!! Who will win this year? It is never certain as to who will win but it is hard not to pick Florida. Everybody is back from last year's championship team! But as we know in this tournament the unexpected usually happens.

Looking at the brackets, this writer predicts the Final Four to be Florida, Kansas, Georgetown, and Texas A & M. Florida will face off against Georgetown in the Championship game with FLORIDA winning it all again. They have been here before and they are hungry to win it again. They know what it takes.

Spring ball starts next Wednesday. There will be a lot of players not participating due to injuries. Kenny Wilson is out. Zach Lee, contending for the QB position, is out. FB Matt Senske is out. Mike McNiel, potentially the #1 TE, is out. Jacob Hickman, Mike Huff, Corey Young, Barry Turner, and Craig Rourke are out.

If Kenny Wilson can't get better, don't rule out a medical redshirt this year. He has a staph infection in his knee that just doesn't go away.

Major Culbert will continue to workout at RB due to the numbers being down. We still see him as a defensive back when his career gets going.

Good luck to the women's NU BB team. If they win in the first round, which they should, they will face the #1 team in the nation, Duke.

Good grief! Oklahoma St gets beat in the first round of the NIT at home and Kansas ST wins by two at home against Vermont. Has strong is the Big 12. Will they be competitive in the NCAA tournament. Make your comments!

If you just think of the Big 12 games as regular games, the Big 12 should be very good. But, going by the history of the tournement, the Big 12 usually stinks. I predict this is the year the Big 12 turns it around!

I don't think so. I think Kansas and Texas will do ok with Kansas one of the best but otherwise the league top to bottom is not that good. Look at the results of the NIT. Texas Tech is already out.
