Let's take a quick look at the weekend:The Good:
- LeBron James with 44 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists in a 113-106 win over Phoenix Sunday.
- Minnesota Golden Gophers - Finally got their first Big 10 win, and they did it in a big [10] way (pun intended), playing great defense in route to a 61-42 route over #11 Indiana. The Hoosiers shot only 32%, and the lefty Vincent Grier led Minnesota with 17 points and 9 rebounds as they improved to 10-8.
- Philly beats Orlando 89-81 even without Allen Iverson. Nice defensive showing, and nice overall game for a few guys, including John Salmons (17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists), C-Webb (18,5,8) and Samuel Dalembert (15 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks). Sixers improve to 23-21, and now have a home game coming up against Phoenix on Tuesday.
- Dr. Z gave his annual TV Commentator Awards, which are always entertaining and fairly insightful.
The Bad:
- Mike Piazza signs with the Padres - Piazza may have a little more left in the tank, but I don't think that'll be too evident when he's playing catcher in a pitcher's ballpark. I'm not exactly anticpating great things for him in Petco Park.
- Even with Ron Artest, Sacramento loses 124-123 vs. Toronto. Yikes!
- Utah to retire Andrew Bogut's #4 jersey - 2 years and one Elite Eight appearance is all it takes to get your jersey retired?! Bogut was great last year, but he only played for 2 years!
The Ugly:- Me I didn't post on here for like 2 days, although I do have a viable excuse. Friday night, I had a couple of friends come into town, and we went to a hockey game at The Ralph (Sioux lost 2-1), and then we went to eat, stopped at a couple other places, and I had no time for the computer. On Saturday, my sisters and a couple cousins came into town, so I was gone all day and then slept at the hotel, so I really had no time. So that's why there was a small break of time between my posts. Sorry!
- Texas A&M is unhappy that Seattle's fans are called the 12th Man - :yawn:
Until next time, you stay classy!

Bogut getting his jersey retired is not too out of whack when you consider the Utes are in the same city where our pro sports team, the Utah Jazz have retired former center Mark Eaton's jersey.
