Sports news

Mrs. C,
This just in...The Bombers still suck.
So I turn my attention south. Vikings and Jets are both 2-0, which makes me happy.
University of Tulsa introduced their new vision of our mascot, complete with a superhero backstory.

It's tough to come up with a mascot for a team called "The Golden Hurricane", but Captain Cane doesn't really strike fear in the hearts of many. Maybe it's an attempt to direct attention away from our nickname being as close to a sexual position as you're going to find on the football field. I still choose to look on the bright side and thank God we're not the Crimson Tide.
The BIG news is that Tulsa was awarded regional games in the 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament! It is the most exciting sporting event in the world and the first 2 rounds are usually the games that see the most upsets (AKA the most fun). Couple that with the fact that Oklahoma City is hosting the first 2 rounds this year and it looks like a good time to be a college basketball fan in Oklahoma.
I just checked the official line...We're not talking about it; it's a non-issue; We're handling it internally...and the Bombers still suck.
