10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (3/15-3/17)

10. LMFAO’s Redfoo Enters US Open Qualifying Tournament
            His chances of making the only major tennis tournament in the United States greatly increase if he doesn’t play with a sparkly blue Speedo.

9. Kyle Busch Holds Off Kyle Larson For Bristol Nationwide Series Win
            It’s been a rough start to 2013 for Larson (he only almost flipped into the main grandstands at Daytona), so it was good to see the nineteen year-old run a clean race and come up just short of his first Nationwide win.

8. This Week’s Episode of “The Walking Dead” Was Significantly Better Than Last Weeks
            I’ll grant you that it wasn’t hard to top last week’s show (which other than the water zombie episode in season 2, was probably the worst in the history of the show), but the chase scene between Andrea and the Governor was moderately riveting. It’s a shame that they both didn’t get eaten by zombies.

7. GSP Does His Thing
            It’s a good thing too. America doesn’t like tax evaders.

6. Heat Extend Winning Streak to 22
            You heard it here first…it ends tonight. Well, as long as Garnett plays.

5. Kentucky Doesn’t Make the NCAA Tournament
            Avid readers of this blog (all 13 of you) may recall that I occasionally celebrate the shortcomings of certain college coaches. In no particular order, here’s the list of coaches that are candidates for such a mention in the weekly top 10.

1.      Mike Krzyzewski, Duke Blue Devils

2.      Nick Saban, Alabama Crimson Tide

3.      John Calipari, Kentucky Wildcats

4.      Mike Krzyzewski, Duke Blue Devils

5.      Nick Saban, Alabama Crimson Tide

Saban and Coach K earn double hate.

4. Miami Hurricanes Win First ACC Championship
            Impressive run by Miami, who backed up their first regular season ACC title in tournament play. They are a dark horse to make a run at The Final 4.

3. Ole Miss Solidifies Tournament Bid With Win Over Florida
            I hadn’t thought about Ole Miss as an institution since Eli Manning was there, so we’ll tip our cap to the Rebels for a job well done.

2. Louisville Blitzes Syracuse, Wins Big East Title
            When you turn a 13-point halftime deficit into a 17-point blowout, you deserve the #1 overall seed.

1. Tires Explode, Tempers Flare, and Kasey Kahne Wins at Bristol
            NASCAR races are always more exciting when tires randomly fail at the most inopportune times.
