Recruiting, the Super Bowl, and weather related basketball problems...

Florida signed the nation's top recruiting class this week and the Gators and Coach Urban Meyer should be proud. However, USC and Lane Kiffin also pulled in a top ten class, mostly by poaching kids previously committed to UT. The tactics used by Kiffin trouble me tremendously, but what else would you expect from this guy. The real shame is that the young men who have committed to Kiffin and USC gave him their word. Let's hope Lane sticks to his and stays at USC. He owes it to the players and while he's at it he should probably straighten up and fly straight. If you're going to be a leader of young men you should conduct yourself accordingly.

While on the subject of recruiting, I have to pay my respects to VT head coach Frank Beamer and his staff. I'm a true blue Wahoo fanatic and despise VT, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Coach Beamer has done for his program. Fortunately, the University of Virginia has hired Mike London and the battle for the Commonwealth Cup will soon bring the rivalry back to National prominance as both programs will reside in the top 25 in the next three years.

Will Dwight Freeney play in the Super Bowl??? IT DOESN'T MATTER!! The Colts have Peyton Manning, and if you've paid any attention to pro football the last ten years you'd know this guy's pretty good. Unless Phil Fulmer (Manning's "Coach" at UT) shows up to coach the game, there's no way Peyton isn't holding the trophy this Sunday! And, oh, by the way, Peyton Manning should host SNL once a month and request the writers from his Sprint commercials - freakin' hilarious!!

On a sad note, looks like my Glenvar Vipers girls basketball team will be snowed out of practice and a game this weekend. So far the only thing that has slowed our high powered offense is the weather.....Let's hope once the weather breaks our opponents will be well rested for the challenge that awaits them!!
