Could this really be the best 2 days in sports?

Today, in less in 1 hour begins the full fledge NCAA basketball tournament. For me, this, especially the first 2 days maybe the greatest 2 days in sports! Listening to talk radio, the topic has came up over the last couple of days. Something I learned, 9 BILLION will be wagered on this total event! That's over twice the amount wagered on the Super Bowl. 

The action, the upsets, and the fact I can see it on channels at once (great excuse to go to B Dubs!) that is why it is the greatest 2 days in sports for me! 

But again, these are really just my random thoughts!

My respect for Mike Golic just went up!

Watching Mike and Mike this morning, in light of the Chris Borland decision to retire from the 49ers fearing brain injury, Golic got an email asking him if he would tell his own son would to hide his concussion. 

Mike then said he was in this situation and said he failed. His son(who just had his pro day) was in high school and took a shot and hit the ground. He was taken to the ambulance and Golic was told the medics wanted take him in for observation. He asked his son how felt and his son said he blacked out for a second but he felt fine. He said let's take him back. Coaches asked him if he wanted his son to go back in and he said yes.

Mike flat out said he messed up that time. Right there, my level of respect for Golic went up. He talked about how maybe the medics should have the ability to override the decision. He reiterated that he messed up in this situation. 

I wish the parent of every kid playing football would listen to what he said and take it to heart. The fact that a former NFL player said he messed up in handling his own son's situation should speak volumes to these fathers who didn't play beyond their high school years. 

That really struck a chord with me, but again, these are really just my random thoughts.

Match-ups that might give Kentucky trouble

So Kentucky moves into the NCAA tourney undefeated, having been challenged only a few times. After looking    at the season, I have come up with who I think could do it. 

1. Virginia

2. Wisconsin

3. Iowa St

The big reason, these 3 play great D. Granted, they won't have a chance to see any of these until the Final Four or Championship game.

I see the Wildcat nation being all defensive, remember, I'm just a basketball fan/blogger giving my opinion.

Seeing, Kentucky's road, I think they will probably see Notre Dame in the a Elite Eight, but that may be the biggest challenge they see until the Final Four. 

Again, these are really just my random thoughts.

Breakfast should be like this every morning.

First morning of Spring break and my wife says "let's go to Hugo's!" Well, this makes me very excited and you'll see why shortly. 

Hugo's is in Claremore, Ok and serves breakfast all day, well 6am-2pm anyway. They specialize in breakfast and big portions. First time we went, we split an omelette and got a side of bacon. I swear there was like half a pig on this plate. Well, we back this morning and each got our own plate. I got the 3 eggs and chicken fried steak which comes with a huge portion of German style hash browns and a biscuit and gravy. The biscuit is homemade by the at. 

The wife got the ham and cheese omelette with the German potatoes and she went with toast. 

Well, it was delicious as usual as you can tell from the picture. The whole bill was less than $22. Good food, good people, and good prices. If you are in NE Oklahoma, go check it out.
