The Final Four, The Masters, UVA's Spring Game, and last night's party!

How about the Butler Bulldogs!! These guys are something else, they scrap, claw, and are a complete team! There Coach is animated and passionate, they play with no ego, and they will not be denied.........unfortunately they play Duke in the National Championship game and the refs will ultimately pull it out for the Dookies! It's really a shame cause this team has ruined most of the stereotypes of what it takes to win in college basketball. They have no superstar, aren't very athletic, yet here they are at the finish line. It's been a pleasure to watch them and I will be pulling for them Monday night. Did I mention that the refs have already decided the winner via the flop!!!!

Tiger's press conference tomorrow will be packed full of blood thirsty reporters just itching to ask the question that draws the money making reaction they are looking for! The first one to enrage Tiger will hopefully be rewarded with a passionate response, the man has admitted he was wrong and I think to deviate from that plan would sink his ship forever when it comes to the media and the fans. Tiger enjoyed the company of other women while he was married, was it wrong, ABSOLUTELY!! Will he have a difficult time explaining it to his children....ABSOLUTELY!!! Is he a human being that makes mistakes....ABSOLUTELY!! If this has cost him his marriage then it's what he deserves, if it's cost him money then it's what he deserves, if it's cost him the respect of his peers then it's what he deserves. But I have no right to judge the man and neither do any of us. I watch him play because he can do things with a golf ball that few humans have ever been able to do, not because he's a good person. He's human, that's all he is.

UVA's spring festival is next weekend and I can't wait to get up to Charlottesville. The fresh attitude and enthusiasm of this staff continues to energize the fans, alumni, student body, and supporters of the program and I for one can barely contain my excitement. New uniforms will be unveiled this week and that's wonderful and everyone will be wanting a piece of the new merchandise. Most important of all though is the feeling of HOPE around the program.....HOPE is a powerful thing and without it....well......we all reach for positive things nowadays and Mike London is as positive a person as I've ever met!! Go HOOS!!!

Last night a friend of ours invited us over for a small get together. Most of us have had a tough time lately in one or another avenue of our life. It was wonderful to meet new people, talk with them, share problems and feelings, and most important of all LAUGH with them!!! I haven't laughed that much in several months and I had almost forgot how much fun people can be regardless of what's going on around them. To those folks that were at the party it was a pleasure to meet all of you and those few hours really helped me remember who I am and what I'm about. Thank you all for that! By the way, if you had Chris and James in the beer pong pool, you won cause they dominated.......Way to go WOLFPACK!! ;)
