What it means to be a daddy...
When you catch a foul ball - the first one you ever have - at a MLB game, and are so excited to share it with your child... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4479580 ...and she throws it back. What can you do -- give her a big hug and remember...

A great season, nonetheless!
Fine, NC took my beloved Sparties to the woodshed. We knew that was one of the possibilities, although I thought MSU would hang in there a bit better than they did. Regardless, kudos to UNC for a great championship and an exciting season. For my Green...

Can it happen?
Obviously, I am pulling for the Spartans in tonight's championship game. Do I think the Spartans will win? That's a tough call. I am sure they *can* win, but it is far from an answered question. UNC is outrageous, and they can drop some big scores...

Oww, I think someone just got ripped.
http://noise.typepad.com/hey_joe/2009/04/filizzobuster.html Tom Izzo finally kind of let fly at his presser this week, and Joe Rexrode (Hey, Joe!) of the LSJ shared the entire transcript with us. Needless to say, without getting trite or petty, I think...

Who's the most likable?
As if this wasn't obvious... http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=4029728&sportCat=ncb Go Green!

Spartans advance and other stuff
Great game by the Green and White men last night against Kansas . They had me plenty nervous, but it seemed like there was an underlying desire to get it done, and in the end, they pulled it out. 6 times in 11 years -- not too shabby. Now I have to find...

Go Green!
I just had to throw out some love for Mr. Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Men's Basketball team. Nice job getting to the Sweet Sixteen -- keep it up this coming weekend! Also, a shout out for Suzy Merchant and the Michigan State Women's Basketball...

Shooting sports at the Olympics
50 M Smallbore rifle. I just watched the replay and the American, Emmons looked like he had it wrapped up. I won't say I am a marksman, but controlling your breathing and holding your mark *should* be the same across all 10 shots. Emmons completely...

The Olympics are so fun...
If you haven't seen it yet (I'm not sure how you could avoid it) go over to nbcolympics.com right now and watch the world-record shattering 4x100 free relay effort from yesterday/last night. 5 teams in the event eclipsed the previous world record...

Maybe not just, but at least he's free
I posted some time ago about how this article about Genarlow Wilson made me unhappy. Well, ESPN published a follow-up story covering his release from prison , finally. It still makes me unhappy that there are people who think the right thing was done...

Big Ten Network and Comcast
If you are a college football fan and happen to pull for a Big Ten team, I am sure you've heard of the flap between Comcast and the Big Ten network over carrying the fledgling network's programming. Unfortunately, for fans in southeast Michigan...

If they weren't 70$ I'd buy 'em!
I came across a link to these killer sport shoes on boing boing, and I'd be curious if they feel as good as they look. Not quite as attractive as JJ Casuals , but they look pretty cool, and the concept is great. Birkenstocks make my feet happy, but...

First no hitter in 23 years
Congratulations to Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers for just putting the finishing touches on a no-hitter. The first for the Tigers since Jack Morris in '84. Right on...

MSU basketball recruiting success
Delvon Roe is coming to Michigan State This is a pretty big recruiting success for Tom Izzo and his staff. The 2008 class is shaping up VERY nicely. Korie Lucious and Delvon Roe with the possibility of getting Draymond Green as well. Craziness...

It's good to be a Spartan
The Green and White Hockey team has shown that they can play with anyone in the country, ousting BU, Notre Dame, and Maine in consecutive games in the NCAA Hockey Tournament. SuperDave gets credit for being the first to recognize that they whooped up...
