Lent

I wake this morning and am greeted by "Villanova v. Syracuse" playing basketball.

Last year at this time, I knew a thing or two about College Hoops. No longer.

I am surprised that Villanova is ranked fourth in anything, much less fourth out of all the teams!

I have given up sports, and it feels good.

Nevertheless, here are my favorites in different sports. This is idea is culled from Kevin Rasmussen's Filament blog.
