The Blue/Orange Spring game is upon us!!

Thank goodness for Spring football!! The weather has taken a wrong turn and headed back towards winter, we still haven't brought all or our troops home, and now Scott Walker is breaking as many laws as possible to push through his agenda.......but Spring football is here!! The QB battle at Uva is heating up, two sophmores, one red-shirt freshman, and one true freshman are in the mix for 1st team snaps. The Spring game should give Wahoo Nation an idea of who will be running the show in September. My money is on Mike Rocco to be the starter, Strauss and Metheny co-no. 2's, and David Watford will red-shirt. Mike Rocco has all the intangibles and is a leader in the huddle. Mr. Watford will be heard from however, and very SOON!! The other big news from the Spring game is the annual jersey sale! This year it's the home uni's from 2001 to 2006, a huge amount of talent wore these uni's in 03 and 04. I'm hoping for a Hagans and Hall and Copper....we will see what happens!!

VCU and Butler........2 Reasons why I love March Madness! Why hasn't Jim Tressel been fired??

VCU and Butler aren't exactly household names in the College Basketball world. Last year Butler did make a once-in-a-lifetime run at the National Championship but those runs are few and far between unless you're an ELITE program. Well Butler is now trying to scratch it's way into the ELITE picture with a second consecutive trip to the Final Four! The Bulldogs are lead by a young and fiery Coach and a pit-bull Senior Class! They play hard-nosed, tough, man to man defense and are mentally stout. They have scrappy guards, share the ball, and function as a COMPLETE TEAM.....that's what you have to do to compete with traditional powers loaded with 5 star talent. This is an easy team to root for....they embody the underdog this country loves....speaking of underdogs... How about those VCU Rams?! The talking heads at ESPN, that seem to think they know it all, hammered the Selection Committee on giving the Rams an at-large berth in the big dance. Hmm....so how does that crow taste?? This team is gonna upset Kansas today and head to the Final Four! Once they arrive those folks at ESPN will be praising them and kissing their A$$! I almost forgot in the delirium of March Madness about Jim Tressel and Ohio State. Turns out ole sweater vest knew all about his player's inappropriate conduct and was forwarding emails to Pryor's handlers. Hmm, I guess Ohio State is really the win at all cost school they claim not to be. How does a school with a huge athletic department budget, obvious pay for play practices, and bend-the-rules-at-all-costs-to-win attitude not have more National Championships.....oh that's right...they have played SEC schools in those games.....and LOST!!! Oh wait, what am I saying, you can't out corrupt the SEC so I guess Ohio State lost in that arena to huh?!

Charlie Sheen....For President.....Really!!

With the looming NFL lockout, the crisis in Wisconsin, and the boredom of baseball upon us, it's time to focus on the 2012 Presidential election. Given the poor job done by both the major political parties right now, we as a nation need to look to a third party alternative. Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you the soon to be Presidential hopeful, Charlie Sheen!! That's right boys and girls, THAT Charlie Sheen.....Hear me out!

This man shoots from the hip, can pass a drug test, and is a proud father. He obviously can relate to everyone; just look at how his twitter account blew up one day after he started it. He believes in suing, capitalism, and himself, and he definitely thinks highly of our nation's female population. He would listen closely to his advisers due to the extensive practice he has had with his lawyers.

My fellow Americans, as you head to the ballot box next year, remember that Charlie Sheen is the only option to get this country back on track. He believes in "Winning".....shouldn't we all!!??
