-At Lakeview Sunday afternoon: Yes, we had golfers and a game! Jack Butcher, Ken Hudson, Frank and Susan Fee and Chuck Baker were out taking advantage of the unusually mild weather. And then there was the game: It was again a 6-6-6 with Dave Wininger and I winning the first event, a scramble, and the alternate shot and best ball events ending in ties. Doug Denson paired up with Short Jeffers and Nick Wininger had Travis Brett as a partner. Always fun and we finished before dark by skipping #5 the second time and playing #6 as a par 3. No hole-in-one's. Dang...
-Women's basketball: Muffet McGraw's #3 Irish beat #7 Ky on Sunday afternoon, 92-83. Would never guess that these two teams are among the best defensive teams this year. Expect ND to move up a notch as #2 UCON lost to #1 Baylor, 66-61.
-Colts win their first of the season, Orlovsky wins first of his career, beat Tenn 27-13. That was a surprise as, guess what, they were losing at halftime when we started golfing. Nice surprise though, I guess. What happens if they win another and lose out on the #1 pick in the draft? Does Payton Manning then return as a viable option for the Colts? And you did notice that that other team with a '0' in its record when the day started saw it changed to a '1' by days end: Kansas City took it to the undefeated Green Bay Packers, 19-14. Okay, so which was the bigger surprise, the Colt win or the Packer loss? Packer loss would be my guess. Who didn't think they were invincible?
Saturday Stuff:
-Lexi Thompson claims her second pro victory with a four shot win in Dubai. The new youngest pro (there is a younger amateur who has won, Amy Yang at the 2006 ANZ Ladies Masters) to win on the LET finished at 15 under, four shots clear of Lee-Anne Pace. The Wie Lass had an even par day and finished tied for 12th ten strokes behind the new phenom in the ladies golfing world. She is also the longest lady at the present, hitting it around 275 yards down the fairway. Wie, by comparison, averages 266 yards, which isn't all that shabby...
-Butler boys basketball team takes down Purdue in the last minute after not being ahead at any point during the game, 67-65 (upset). Second game at Conseco Fieldhouse saw Cody Zeller and the Indiana Hoosiers throttle the Irish, 69-58 (not an upset). Again, I ask, what's with the Hurrying Hoosiers?
-Another mild day in December with rain maybe later. Golf anyone?
