Rarely do I get excited about amateur golf. It’s like football recruiting to me: A lot of hype and usually not much substance. So and so is the next Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam. How many times have we heard that overblown proclamation in the last two decades from followers of junior golf?

Are we back to the good ole days in Major League Baseball where a base hit is really worth something and going from first-to-third on a single to right field is about good base running and hustle?

Get up you couch potatoes! There has never been a better time to head to the gym, take a walk around the lake or earn some brownie points with your woman through a weekend trip to the mall to shop for shoes.
We can thank Tiger Woods for all the free time.

Forget about the Subway Series. How about the Swimsuit Series? As in the Florida Marlins vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. I know, I may be getting a little bit carried away in mid May, but one-quarter of the way through the baseball season the “lowly” Marlins, with their measly $21.8 million payroll, and the Rays, with their new nickname and group of young and fearless position players, sit atop their respective divisions, tied for the second-best record in the majors.

A milestone of sorts was reached this week when the 10th issue of SportsUnlimited was mailed throughout the Southeast with a striking pose of Tiger Woods on the cover.
Man, how time flies when you’re having fun.

ACC Tourney Coverage - Virginia Tech |

As Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg puts it, his young Hokies have had some cleansing moments this season. Like back-to-back losses in mid February when they were outrebounded by 15 at home to Miami, followed up by a 92-53 humiliation in Chapel Hill when the opposing board domination reached 30.
A four-game winning streak near the end of the regular season and a turnaround on the glass wiped away some of the late frustration and put Virginia Tech squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble at 18-12.
