NCAA Baseball....and other stuff...


--Not to beat a dead horse, but why not? Former NU pitching coach Rob Childress led his Texas A&M Aggies to a 17-3 win over FIU in first-round regional play. This a week after coaching aTm to the Big 12 Conference tournament championship. So much for Mike Anderson's excuse that 'even Rob was struggling in today's environment.' The loser's credo.

To add insult to shitty coaching at NU, Dave Van Horn's Arkansas squad breezed past Grambling 19-7. The Hogs are strong and will likely run deep into NCAA play, showing NU fans what they used to have and how far they are from college's elite. Anderson is a weight tied to the ankle of the program, and it's drowning quickly.

--On a happier note, Tiger woods is 10 shots back at the Memorial. He will never be the same, and it's extremely doubtful that he'll ever eclipse Jack Nicklaus's 18 major championships. When one thinks about it, how long was Woods' layoff really? Four+ months? Not that long, considering how far he is from winning right now. His ego and fake image have been crushed. He thrived off the clueless fans that raved for him, thrived off being untouchable, thrived off pounding a different slut nightly. Now that he has to live the life of a good person, he's finished.

--Apparently moving Carlos Zambrano back to the Cubs' starting rotation didn't help. Four innings, three runs, an ERA still over six. He sucked in his first starting stint, sucked in the bullpen, now sucks again as a starter. Is the lack of steroids catching up to him and the rest of the Cubs? Aramis Ramirez can barely hit either. They have no speed and rarely steal a base. Alfonso Soriano is not a power threat anymore. Derrek Lee--once in a while. Calling Mr. Galea!!
