Happy hump day everyone! So, apologize for the delay on Monday Musings, kinda been busy, also kinda been a boring week for sports. Unless your mags, and are so excited about all the baseball trades!! Or if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Blah. Anyways, here’s your update on recent and upcoming sports!
**************
Tiger Woods will be competing again this weekend after a three month layoff. The golfer, who hasn’t won a tournament in two years, says he feels “great” and is just “focused on trying to win a golf tournament.” Too bad we’ve all become pretty skeptical of his typical pre-tournament talk these days.
Check out this interesting NY Times article about what happens when the NCAA forces schools to vacate past wins due to rules violations. While the fans may have strong memories of championship games, technically, they did not happen. For example, the article asks, “If Ohio State vacates its 2010 football victories, does it still have a seven-game winning streak against archrival Michigan?" Or, "At the end of that 2005 season the Trojans lost to Texas in the national championship game. Or did they?" I'm sure some people will give very different answers.
Hey, Adam Dunn – shoulda stayed in DC!
Juergen Klinsman was announced as the new head coach of the U.S. Men’s soccer team, after previous coach, Bob Bradley, was fired. Hiring the former German national team head coach is certainly exciting news for U.S. soccer fans, but Klinsman seems cautiously optimistic about the future success of the team.
Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the Wave either, but I guess they REALLY don’t like it down in Texas. There’s even a website against it.
Manchester United beat Barcelona 2-1 this past weekend in front of a huge crowd of 81,000 at FedEx field. This was the largest crowd ever to watch a soccer game in the Washington, D.C. region. Awesome!
This guy needs to work on his diving skills…
