Just Some Thoughts... 2/4/12

Is has been a great weekend in sports. And do you know what is the best part about it? IT'S NOT OVER YET!

1. Super Bowl. That's all I need to say. Here's what I think. Tom Brady and the Patriots offense might be too much for the Giants Secondary (there are no pro-browlers in it.) If there is any reason for the Giants to win, it's probably the best one: their super hot.

Patriots 38, Giants 35.

2. A great day of college basketball. State played a close one with Auburn and pulled it out. MSU was smoking from behind the three point line. In my opinion, the only reason that Auburn was in this game was simple. They shot 31 free throws.

I did not get to watch the entire Ole Miss game. The 2 overtime periods (which I watched) were interesting to say the least. As has become a pattern of late, Ole Miss found a way to lose. Ole Miss is so close to winning big, it's not funny. Andy Kennedy is a good coach and UM should keep him.

Southern Miss is better than I expected. With a big time win against Memphis, the golden eagles are demanding some national attention. In my opinion, this could be a top-25 team.

This could be the first time in a long time (or ever) that all of Mississippi's big 3 schools make it too the big dance.

3. In a few weeks, baseball season starts. Man I'm super excited. All of the "big 3" in Mississippi brought in excellent recruiting classes. Southern Miss has a very good chance of wining the C-USA championship. MSU and Ole Miss's chances of winning a SEC championship? Eh... Not so much. The SEC is straight-up loaded.

4, Shout out to the Madison Central boys and girls soccer teams and the boys basketball team. Both soccer teams had great seasons, just coming up short in the playoffs. The boys basketball team has had more success than in recent memory. They won district for the first time since I can remember. But I haven't kept up with it either, so take that for what it's worth.

Any comments/ questions/ thoughts? Thanks for reading!
