“...but Amy Knows Better”


Well, after a two-week hiatus, I’m back, ready to rant about a wide array of topics that no one cares about but me. I’m relatively sure that no one reads this either, but ranting is good for the soul, so I press on.

March Madness is coming to a halt and I’m finally starting to come out of mourning. The UAB Blazers are now on my list of college basketball teams that I can not root for, no matter what the situation is. They have joined the illustrious ranks of such teams as Duke, Marquette (thanks Dwayne Wade), North Carolina and Arizona. I would list UTK on here, but when talking about men’s basketball...why even bring up something that’s not even a factor?

Since only one of my final four is left, I guess I have to say go Oklahoma State. This year’s bracket was officially the worst one that I have ever made. But, it’s the chance of one night shooting my brackets to Hell that makes me love the Dance so much.

I got to go watch the softball team pick up a pair of wins over the weekend against Samford. If you get a chance to go watch them play, I suggest you take it. It’ll be the best free softball game you’ll ever see. There’s a lot of talent on that team.

Back to basketball, a WOMAN won the McDonald’s All-American Slam Dunk Contest this year. That’s right I said it. A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL beat out a field of NBA-bound players in a dunking contest. Too bad she signed with UTK. Would have been really awesome if we could have recruited her here. We couldn’t land her, just like we couldn’t land Manute Bol’s sister a few years ago. (I’m not kidding. I learned this in Geography earlier this week...)

On to a sport I know nothing about, Pike Fights XV is this weekend. Everyone should turn out to watch this and help support the Greenway. I want to wish my Pike Fight buddy (and the rest of my friends involved) the best of luck!

Until next week, support UTM athletics. GO SKYHAWKS!
