NCAA Lacrosse

Wait, Marian Hossa is a Blackhawk? Now I kinda want the Flyers to win, so he can go 0-3 and move on to yet another team that will lose in the finals. But I did like him as a Hawk, so I kinda want him to win on...but his moving teams EVERY year is really lame.

While we are talking about the non-big three sports, we've got the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 today. I don't know that anyone is going to be doing the double today though.

I don't think the timing currently allows for a double.

True, NASCAR standardized all the start times last year, so the Coca-Cola 600 has been bumped up an hour or two. Plus no one since Smoke has had any success moving from Indy to NASCAR.

Mario, Dan Gurney, JP Montoya.

3-2 duke over nd at the half.

Between the duke turnovers and nd stall ball, this game is a yawner.

Hot as he'll - 91º.

5-5 at the end of regulation. That's the lowest scoring 60 minutes of Lacrosse in NCAA history.

And Duke pulls it out with a fast brak goal off the face-off 6-5 .

Lowest scoring finals in history.

The Duke ams are happy - the rest of us want some coffee.

In other news. Dario Franchitti, who flopped in NASCAR, won the Indy 500, making his wife Ashley Judd happy. And Kurt Busch won the Coke 600 making his boss Roger Penske happy after losing at Indy. JP Montoya was nowhere to be seen.

Will Ashley be at the UK - UP game?

Ashley is quite the Renaissance women: motor-sports, college basketball, and a Harvard graduate degree! For real, not honorary!

Yesterday I played "catch" with a lacrosse stick for the first time in my life. It was suprisingly easy to catch and throw the ball, but moving around without dropping it...not so much. I knew it wasn't an easy sport, but now I have a new respect for what some of those guys are able to do while running through traffic. (Of course if I practiced for a couple months I could be an all-american)
