Wray boys and girls basketball host Chase County (NE) tonight.  Girls tip off at 3:30pm and the boys around 5pm-ish.  Games can be heard on 1440AM KRDZ.  No sub varsity games tonight.

The more I think about it the more I think the Steelers will win the Super Bowl.  Two main reasons are Big Ben and Troy Polamalu.  Those two can take over a game and win it.  As good as Aaron Rodgers and Charles Woodsen are, I say the edge goes to BB & TP.

Is there a worse week in radio than Super Bowl week?   It's nothing but current and old players/coaches hawking and selling a product during the mind numbing interviews.  I never liked interviewing athletes because they seldom had anything interesting to say.  (If my boss wanted to send me to radio row next year I would not turn it down though.  Am I a hypocrite?)

There has been a lot of talk lately about Jimmer.  Lots of people speculating if he can play in the NBA or not.  Can't we just appreciate his greatness in college?  I know it's my job, and the sports media in general, to speculate about college players and if they can translate to the NBA, but I wish we would just enjoy the moment more.  If Jimmer doesn't become a big star in the NBA does it diminish what he did in college?  Of course not.  Doud Flutie is a great example of an amazing college athlete who didn't translate to the pro game.  He was still an amazing college player.  I say enjoy the Jimmer now and speculate later.  BYU to the Sweet 16?  Oops, there I go speculating again.
