Colts win, ND/Big Ten comparison, and more...

Wow, what a busy weekend!
Bring the Heat, the baseball complex I am working with, is up and running. We had two days of open houses and signed up a multitude of teams and more individual memberships than we had anticipated. Hopefully we will keep up with this pace. Our website should be up this week, www.bringtheheat.net , please check it out!
Destination-Miami! The Colts are Super Bowl bound again, which can only mean one thing....I need a new jersey to add to the arsenal. I am thinking defense this time around and the front runners are a Gary Brackett or Antoine Bethea jersey. Ryan Diem is a possibility, but only if I continue the trend of only buying jerseys with ineligible numbers. The long shot- Hank Baskett, husband of reality show star Kendra. I somehow doubt that a third string receiver jersey is readily available but, stranger things have happened. Hell, who would have thought that Hugh Hefner's "girlfriend" could have a TV show for more than one season AND get a spinoff series??? Anyways, Go Colts! I can't wait until February 7th.
While watching the playoff games today, I may have heard the most asinine comment of all time. A gentleman claimed that if Notre Dame was in the Big Ten this year in football, they would have finished in the top 3. I have been a long time Notre Dame fan as well as a Big Ten detractor but Notre Dame in the Top 3? The top 5 finishers in the Big Ten were Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Northwestern. Does anyone truly believe that ND would have been a favorite in any of these games? In head to head competition, ND was 2-1 versus the Big Ten. (2 wins by last minute drives vs. the 6th and 7th rated teams and a loss to the 10th ranked team) Not exactly stellar by any means. With the exception of Illinois and Minnesota, I don't think the Irish had many other sure wins in that conference. The IU/ND game would have been classic though. Who would have imploded first, the Irish defense or a Bill Lynch coached offense?
Speaking of Bill Lynch...The local high school football coaches association presents speakers each month and our speaker in February is Bill Lynch. Lynch is one of the classiest men in college football and has done a decent job with the Hoosiers since the tragic loss of Coach Hoeppner. I am really looking forward to his speech.
This should be an exciting week, I am still trying to figure out this blog site, but hopefully by Wednesday we will have the kinks worked out. Matt and I are planning on posting our responses to the President's State of the Union speech. I am sure there will be good material and it has to be better than listening to Chris Matthews' take on the speech.
