Senior's Day

Go Utes! Go Ricky Johns!
I was really expecting a headline like "Senior's Day" in the Salt Lake Tribune this morning, haven't looked at the Deseret News (not that I usually do). After all, the U's one senior, Ricky Johns, scored a career high 30 points in his final home game, aka "Senior Day", as a Ute. Well done.
Well done all the way around. The guys played sound basketball with fewer errors than we've been seeing, got down and dirty with SDSU, made the game exciting, and controlled the court for probably 30 of the 40 minutes of playing time. Fewer fouls last night as well, though Luke Nevil throws a mean elbow though the foul was called in his favor. They were nearly the team I was hoping they'd be all year.
I just hope the momentum continues through Saturday at BYU and into Las Vegas for the tournament. Wouldn't a 16 seed be a kick after this season?


On to more important things. My Tigers beat the Mets in their first spring training game today. Since my Tiger fan great aunt died in December, I'd like to see them take the Series in her honor. I'd like to see them play my Brewers in the Series. Everyone's allowed to dream and this morning all teams were equal... Right now, my dad's Cardinals and the Tigers are perfect.
