Quick Observations

This week's observations revolve around sports.

1. Football Spring practice already? Wow! Coach Petrino had his 1st practice as the new Boss Hog. Can't wait to see the new offensive schemes. Win or lose, should be entertaining.

2. No McFadden or Felix Jones. No Marcus Monk. Might be a long year for the Hogs.

3. Boston Celtics have won 60? After only winning 24 last season. Cried last year...too painful. Cry this year.....so happy. Hopefully can secure homefield advantage throughout playoffs.

4. Pittsburg Penguins [NHL] 1st Divisions in over a decade. Win tomorrow, 1st in Conference. 2 years ago was laughing stock of the NHL.

5. Cardinals are off to a fast start. Better enjoy it now..... won't last long. Expects are actually predicting the Reds to be the sleeper team in the NL Central. Know you like that, Kyle.

6. Final Four has all #1 seeds. Memphis has a chip on its shoulders. Living near Memphis, I have always followed the Tigers. Have had some great players over the years: Keith Lee, Elliott Perry, Baskerville Holmes, Penny, and countless others. Dana Kirk was a great coach. Loved those 80 teams. Had some great battles with Louisville. Word is that Coach Calipari is hunting for an NBA job. Hope they can win it all.

7. F1 just started. BMW looking strong. Hope Ferrari can pull out another title.

8. Arkansas State just changed their name from the Indians to the Red Wolves. May I ask the 25th letter of the alphabet? Why?
