The NFL Draft.......Russell Wilson.....and the NBA Playoffs

Cam Newton was the first pick of this year's NFL Draft. Or should I say, Scam Newton. Usually the most important position on the field is the one spot where character truly counts....apparently not to the Carolina Panthers. The off the field issues with Scam Newton are well documented and I have no idea why the Panthers management has chosen to disregard them. By the way, Mr. Clausen, you're best bet is the waiver wire!

It appears as though Russell Wilson, formerly the starting quarterback of NC State, has been given a full release from his athletic scholarship. Rumors are beginning to swirl that he may end up at the University of Virginia playing for head coach Mike London. Wilson is a product of the Commonwealth and he would be welcomed with open arms......I'll keep you posted Wahoo Nation!!

Thankfully the first round of the NBA playoffs is almost over. The first round is truly boring....thankfully the second round starts this weekend. It would be nice for the refs to find their whistles in this round.....may make for some much more watchable games!!

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!!??

Mike London's first recruiting class......The Future is NOW!

Mike London signed a top 20 recruiting class for the University of Virginia on February 2nd, 2011. The class includes 17 players from the state of Virginia....much to the chagrin of the Agricultural school located in Blacksburg. Several of the soon to be 1st years will be on the field immediately! I can't wait for the Spring game this year, so much optimism and hope. Two 1st year players will be on the field for the Spring game. One a promising QB prospect from Hampton the other a promising defensive end from the '757". The 757 is fertile and Coach London is firmly entrenched there!

The only way to duplicate this recruiting success is by winning on the FIELD!!! The Cavs must win at least 6 games and go to a minor bowl this year. It's imperative for the rebuilding process and it will show the potential recruits that they will be successful here. The combination of academics and athletics would be such a wonderful recruiting tool. I'm hoping Coach London can get it done in 2011.....and a win over VT would be SWEET!!

Stanford won...Andrew Luck makes the right call..and did I mention Stanford won!

Touchdown Stanford......I'm not sure those two words will ever sound any better than they did on Monday night when the mighty Cardinal handled the castrated turkeys from VT!! Stanford ran the ball down their throats, threw it over top of them, and effectively neutralized Tire Rod...I mean Tyrod Taylor and exposed VT as a perennial fraud.....1-27 and counting versus real competition!! Now it's time for the rest of the ACC to get off their bums and take back the ACC from VT, a new Champion that's actually worthy of the ACC crown must step forward!

Andrew Luck, the quarterback who lead the destruction of Pud Foster...I mean...Bud Foster's overrated defense has decided to stay in school. He would have been the number 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, making millions of dollars. Instead he will avoid the bad press of the looming NFL lockout, get his degree from an elite academic institution, and win the PAC-10...not bad Andrew and you made the right call!

Wait.....Hokie Nation....I think Stanford just scored again!!!!!!!!

It's been too long..........Go Stanford!!

The last few months have exposed the role that my blog plays in my life......there haven't been any posts! But it's a New Year and I'll try to stay consistent. The Holidays were gone in a flash, time with family and friends now make way for the grind! No sense in looking back on 2010, was a year to forget with the exception of Dionne and Sydney...so let's move forward.

The bowl season has been very mixed with way too many blow-outs and too few close games. I am hoping that trend continues tomorrow and Stanford rolls the intellectually challenged squad from Blacksburg. Speaking of intellectually challenged, how about the egg that Mike Vick laid on Tuesday vs. Minnesota......MVP my a$$!!!

Uva recruiting looks good, basketball team beat VT and has been battling, things are looking up in beautiful downtown Charlottesville!! Tampa Bay has a winning record and something to build on for the future, the Miami Heat are finding themselves.....wow.....my sports world is looking very bright and upbeat for 2011!!
