Kevin Love Could Make These In His Sleep! Check Out The Video Below!
As You know, The Final Four Is Upon us. Here are the matchups: UCLA VS MEMPHIS KANSAS VS UNC The NCAA loves San Antonio. Four years ago, San Antonio hosted the Final Four at the Alamodome, and they are doing that again four years later.
I am hoping that UCLA and UNC Meet In The Championship Game. I would love to see Kevin Love face off against Tyler Hansbrough, but Memphis looks like an unstoppable force right now, and let's not forget about Kansas. The Jayhawks worked hard to get here, and they would love to cut down the nets.
Let's See If my prediction is correct MEMPHIS VS UNC
Here Is The Story Below from the Associated Press:
NASCAR Sprint Cup rookie Michael McDowell walked away virtually unscathed from a horrific tumbling crash during qualifying Friday at Texas Motor Speedway.
McDowell was going into the first turn of his second lap when his No. 00 Toyota got loose, then slammed almost headfirst into the SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barrier. The car ricocheted off the wall and onto its roof, then rolled at least eight times before finally coming to rest at the bottom of the high-banked track.
As he got out of the crumbled car, McDowell waved to the crowd indicating that he was OK.
"I feel great, nothing broke," McDowell said. "I didn't lose consciousness. I felt every roll down the hill."
McDowell said he had "few little bumps and bruises," but was fine other than that.
While McDowell said he didn't know what happened, he said something "didn't quite feel right" on the car when he came out of fourth turn on the first lap.
"For me to walk away from that wreck is unbelievable," McDowell said. "I'm going to count my blessings tonight and thank God for this opportunity to walk away from that wreck."
Car owner Michael Waltrip had some anxious moments waiting for McDowell to get out of the car.
"Just from the time it stopped flipping until we saw Michael come out, it seemed like forever," Waltrip said. "That was an amazing crash."
Qualifying was delayed for more than an hour while track officials made temporary repairs to the wall. After qualifying, a 20-foot section of the SAFER barrier was replaced.
"With the initial hit and everything that happened after, I'm real happy he walked away," said Carl Edwards, who qualified second in a run before McDowell's accident. "I'm surprised he's not hurt in any way. That's a testament to the safety equipment."
McDowell made his Cup debut last week at Martinsville. A developmental driver for Michael Waltrip Racing, he was promoted to the Cup level to fill a hole in the lineup created when Dale Jarrett retired.
The 23-year-old McDowell had a decent run - he finished 26th - but drew the ire of several veterans for not moving out of the way and holding them up. McDowell has just four career starts in the Nationwide Series, and most of his experience is in ARCA.
Based on owner points, McDowell will start 40th in the backup car for the Samsung 400 on Sunday.

Here's What I've Observed... KANSAS CITY SWEEPS DETROIT There is optimism in Kansas City, especially after the upstart Royals swept their much hyped division rival Detroit Tigers. This was Kansas City's first opening sweep since 2003. Kansas City fought to come back in Game one as they beat Detroit 5 to 4 in eleven innings. In the second game, Kansas City Starter Brian Bannister held Detroit to just three hits as Kansas City beat Detroit 4 to nothing. In the final game, Zack Grienke had a great pitching performance. Grienke allowed one run in seven innings of work.
And, Speaking of Great Pitching... ROOKIE PHENOM JOHNNIE CUETO STRIKES OUT TEN DIAMONDBACKS History was made at Great American Ballpark as Johnnie Cueto became the first Reds pitcher since 1900 to strike out ten batters in his major league debut. The only hole in the armor was Justin Upton's solo homerun in the sixth inning.
Some Reds fans may think they have their own version of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood in Homer Bailey and Johnie Cueto, but I would like to caution them: You're with a manager who likes to overwork young pitchers and likes to keep them in ballgames when they have been on the mound a very long time. I would not be suprised if Bailey and Cueto got the same type of problems Prior and Wood have gotten from being overworked in the Dusty Baker Era.
KOSUKE FUKUDOME WITH AN INCREDIBLE " KONNICHIHA" TO WRIGLEY'S FAITHFUL Kosuke Fukudome had an unbelievable debut opening day. He doubled off Ben Sheets in his first Major League At Bat. Fukudome came through huge in the ninth inning, as he hit a game tying, three run homerun to tie the game at three. Fukudome batted .1000 at the end of Opening day as he went 3-3.
Through his first three games, Fukudome is 4-8 with three RBI'S, and three of his four hits have gone for extra bases.
Kosuke's the real deal. Teams will be trying to figure him out all season long, so he may be able to keep his hot streak going for a while.
WALKS WILL KILL YOU IN EXTRA INNINGS. JUST ASK THE NATIONALS! The Philladelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 8-7 as Jason Werth helped score the tying run on a bases loaded walk. Werth never got thrown a strike, and Philly gets an important early lesson on why it is important to be selective at the plate.
NEW YORK'S GOING OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW Both New York teams are getting new ballparks next season. Shea Stadium, opened in 1964, will close down after this season. The "Cathedral Of Baseball" The "Big Ballpark In The Bronx" Yankee Stadium, opened in 1923, will also close down. The Mets are moving to Citi Field, while the Yankees are moving a few streets down to New Yankee Stadium. I'm sad to see both ballparks go because there have been many great players and great moments that have happened at these ballparks.
Pedro Martinez will be out until at least May with a strained hamstring. Pedro hurt the hamstring in the fourth inning. The Mets lost Pedro and ended up losing the game to Florida 5-4 in ten innings. Many Mets fas are already starting to panic. Calm Down Mets fans. You're less than a week into Baseball season, and your already pressing the panic button.
This brings up a bigger issue. The Mets rotation is one huge mess without Johan Santana and Pedro Martinez. Tom Glavine is gone, and there is a glaring hole in that Mets rotation that only got bigger with the loss of Pedro.
Hopefully, that wasn't Pedro's final bullet from his arm. I've always enjoyed watching Pedro pitch because he's a smart pitcher who doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he's smart and knows how to pitch.
