Bits and Pieces for a Sunday Morning

-The call for Tiger to come clean.  Well, I just hope he plays this coming week, and plays well.  One other thing: hope his wounds, both physical and emotional, are superficial.

-The Irish play a most entertaining game, again, and again come out holding the short end of the stick, losing to Stanford last night, 45-38.  The finish six and six after starting the season with some saying championship potential, an 11-1 or 10-2 win-loss record, and a spot in one of the BCS bowl games.  High expectations.  Did enjoy the play of Clausen and Tate who both played spectacular for most of the season - Tate really coming on strong once Michael Floyd was hurt.  Hope they return for their fourth year at ND and whomever the new coach is going to be.  (Btw, I did wonder why Harbaugh didn't run out the clock on their last possession - take a knee for two downs, clock runs down to just about the end of the game, kick a field goal;  that would have kept the ball out of the hands of Clausen and Tate.  Worked out in the end but not till ND had moved the ball well within game changing distance.)

-The Irish basketball teams did win yesterday, the men over St. Louis in Chicago and the women over Oklahoma down in the Virgin Islands.  Shylar Diggins, the freshman guard out of SB Washington, was the tournament mvp.

-Had intentions of going down to the Lions Den last night and watching the boy Lions play in the championship game, but opted for the living room and the Irish-Cardinal football game.  Expect the boys destroyed whoever they played - had listened to the morning game against Henryville.  I know the score is on the internet somewhere but I can't find it - did see that the Lions won with Josh Divine being the MVP from the Loogootee Tribune's facebook site.  (Found it at the Shoals News web site.  The final was a four point game - as close as the final score?)  The girls won on Friday.

-Haven't heard what happened in the skins and flags game that took place at the golf course yesterday midday.  Maybe Curt or Tracy will add a comment and enlighten us.  You have to want Cory, the youngster, to walk off with the lion's share, right?
