A Great Day for Sports on the Tube

For those that like basketball, two of the best teams in the NCAA will be playing at 11. Kentucky vs. Louisville is usually a war between these instate rivalries. Look for Kentucky to control this game in a close one and Chuck Hayes to have a good game for the Wildcats. Although Patino and his Cardinals could pull it off like they did last year and win. This one is a toss up anytime these two teams meet

In a night game, Mississippi State will seek revenge over Xavier in Cincinnati. Xavier upset the No. 2 seed last year in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Lawrence Roberts will lead his Bulldogs into action and will probably have no problem handling Xavier. Michael Boler, a Pillow Academy product who has seen very little action this year, could possibly see action if this one gets away from Xavier

In football action, it is Eli vs. Ben. With a 12:30 kickoff the Giants will probably continue their lackluster performance. While it has not been a stellar year for Manning, it is not all his fault. He has a line with the talent level of East Holmes Academy. On the flip side, Roethlisberger has had a stellar year with the Steelers. Look for them to dominate the game today, and Duce Staley to continue his dominance in the backfield.
