Spartans to Face Tar Heels for NCAA Championship

Michigan State’s fairy tale run continues. The Spartans upset no. 1 seed UConn to advance to the NCAA championship game against the Tar Heels of North Carolina. These guys might not play the prettiest game in the tournament, but would you care if you were a player, coach, or fan in that organization and you’ve made it this far? No, of course not. These guys are getting it done, and they must be doing something right if they’re playing for the right to be crowned the best college team in the country.

UNC is playing their usual, consistent games. They haven’t seemed to struggle at all in the year’s tournament. The Tar Heels just defeated a good Villanova team who was having a fairy tale run of their own. Having Ty Lawson back has only helped them.

This game is going to be exciting, I’m looking forward to watching it.

Jay Cutler

Apparently EVERYBODY and their mothers wanted Jay Cutler just a few weeks back when the whole saga about him being involved in a three-way trade with Matt Cassel came to light. But we’re just finding out now that Minnesota was interested in Cutler as well. It’s getting pretty ridiculous. Who really care what teams wanted Jay Cutler 4 weeks ago. Let’s talk about now.

Look out, Kellen Clemens. Because dude, you’re about to lose your job. How can Clemens brush off rumors that the Jets want Cutler? Buddy, this is the real world. It’s time to put your big boy pants on and understand that you’ll never lead a team to an above .500 season. And the Jets, with all the moves they’ve been making, probably have high ambitions. If things continue down this path, you’re out of a starting job bro.

The BCS. And Congress?

Alright seriously. Aren’t we in one of the worst economic situations of this country’s history? Correct me if I’m wrong, Barack Obama is now on TV talking about the economy each week more times than there are Major League Baseball games in a week. That’s probably around 200 times. So yes, I’m right, we’re in a terrible economic situation. But get this, Congress is now bored with steroids. So where else can they stick their nose into sport and get some publicity? Congress is interested in the BCS.

Okay, credit to you Congress. Finally someone made a move and is doing something about it, but please appoint a committee to oversee it or force it to some sort of vote. Congress has bigger fish to fry.

They do have a point. The BCS is THE BIGGEST joke. The fact that a computer and a bunch of polls decide who should play for the national championship is shocking, absolutely ridiculous. Someone needs to do something about it. There should be a playoff system, no questions asked. Start the season a week or two earlier and then instead of a conference championship game, have four weeks of playoffs. As it is teams go 3-4 weeks after their last game until a bowl game. Take the top 20 teams and put them into a playoff system, simple as that.
